Stephon Marbury Pulls Off His Legendary Ball Fake on Vlade Divac (2001 ASG)

February 11, 2001 - Stephon Marbury delivered one of the most entertaining All-Star performances of all-time in 2001. In addition to connecting on back-to-back 3-pointers in the game's final minute to clinch victory for the East, he also executed this next level ball fake on Sacramento's Vlade Divac.

This is such a Marbury play. Dude does something amazing only to air ball at the end.

This and JWill's elbow pass.. Million dollar move with a 10 cent finish.

This and the elbow pass are two of the flashiest unfinished play in nba all star games.

As a die hard mamba fan, the final few seconds of kobe and shaq on the bench was even more appealing for me then the Marbury move. Rip to the greatest.

[supremewunder]

Steph and Ai won that game for the East. One of my favorite all star games!

[Nala-xfrz]

Steph needs to do this. We need to see this move complete🔥🔥🔥🔥

It’s funny to see Marbury in a Nets jersey while Kidd is in the Suns jersey.
