A Quote by Stephon Marbury
The NBA and college are two totally different games.

Coming out of high school, I think it was good for me instead of going to college because college and the NBA are two different things. You can dominate on the college level, but the NBA is a whole different story. The dudes that do the best are the ones who work hard.
I think that a lot of people are like, 'Oh, he only - he got hurt in the college season, where they only played 40 games. How is he gonna play 82 games in the NBA season?' They don't really look at the fact that in college, you practice way harder than in the NBA.
College is so different from the NBA. You have three guys coming at you and trapping all over the place, and NBA is different. There's more space.
I didn't realize the difference between coaching college and coaching the NBA. It's a totally different animal.
The way I dress, I dress totally different than I did when I was in college. I have to - try to - look professional. You change a lot when you are in the NBA, but I know where I came from.
Now that my responsibilities are exclusively NBA, I watch two NBA games a night, usually fall asleep in the third quarter of the west coast game.
I've played more park games than NBA games, and I had a 10-year NBA career.
I thought, 'I'm going to play in Yugoslavia, then I'll go to play in Italy or Spain.' Then I'll be 28 or 29 and I'll try NBA. I never thought I can play in NBA because NBA was totally different world for us in Europe.
It wasn't until I moved to Spain that I actually got my first glimpse of the NBA. I'd watch this program called 'NBA Action,' which came on every week and showed clips from different games.
All of us are in the same place, each with our own rooms, and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. Which is totally different than college, where they manage your schedule for you. In the NBA, you're on your own.
NBA games are exciting to watch and have global appeal. They are very popular in China. I do watch NBA games on television when I have time.
I work with a lot of women and yeah I see totally different... My two sisters were different, I have two daughters that are pretty different.
Maybe I'll have a different role in the NBA than college.
I have done a lot of NFL games, a season-opening home games, playoff games, championship games, and of course Stanley Cup games, World Series, NBA championship games. But I have never done a Superbowl. It's probably the only major sporting event I've never done and I would like to.
I do catch NFL games every now and again, and it doesn't remind me of anything that I watch when breaking down opponents or watching college games on TV. It's completely different.
There's just so much free time. In college, you've got study hall, classes, film - all that stuff. In the NBA, it's just practices, games and that's it.
