Marbury's new team
Earlier this month, Sports Illustrated conducted a poll with 190 NBA players, whom were asked which NBA player would they least like to have on their team and Kobe Bryant tied for third place. Ironically, on Tuesday the same group of players were asked which NBA player would they most like to have on their team and Kobe placed second with 13% of the vote.
Cleveland’s own LeBron James was first with 32% of the vote, and Steve Nash placed third with 8%. There was a two-way tie between Chris Paul and Kevin Garnett landing at 7% each for fourth place.
In the poll earlier this month for least popular potential teammate, Stephon Marbury received 22% of the vote, followed by Houston forward Ron Artest (9%) and a three-way tie among Bryant, Golden State guard Stephen Jackson and Washington guard Gilbert Arenas (5% each).
