Zach Marbury as a member of the Atlanta Krunk.
Too bad they couldn't afford jerseys

Yo, Steph's got a little brother? Who knew. And while Zach Marbury admits his older brother's gifts of a Ferrari and a home at a young age sapped some of his desire and willingness to make an effort, he says next year it is the NBA for him.

Zach Marbury was invited to the Portland Trail Blazers' training camp as a free agent in 2001. He was cut. He played for the Knicks summer league squad in 2004, but didn't make the team. Since then, he has bounced around. Last year, he played for the Atlanta Krunk in the Continental Basketball Association. The team went 9 up and 41 down and has since moved to Augusta to become the Groove. This year he is heading to Venezuela to play in the Liga Profesional de Baloncesto with Los Guaros De Lara. Fortunately, in typical Marbury fashion he hasn't let reality set in and drain his confidence. Zach, who left college early back in 2001 and has never played in a regular season NBA is quoted in the New York Times, "I want to be mentioned as one of the top seven point guards in the N.B.A. for the next seven years. I know that I’ve got the skills to do it. I just feel like if I get the chance to play with those types of players every night, I can be as good or maybe better."

Forgive us if we snicker.
