On 世錦賽 ----

Kobe: Team USA 需要化學才能在北京奧運奪冠。 (咱們拭目以待有了Kobe之後Team USA化學反應做得怎麼樣，呵呵) 他認為有兩年的時間足夠反應了。

Barkeley: "They played pretty good. They got to play better. I want you guys (in the media) to stop making excuses for them. I hear, 'They're only together for a month.' I'm like, 'We've always been together for like a month!' Then the second one I hear is, 'Well, we're playing international rules.' We always played international rules!

"You guys need to stop making excuses. They have to play better."

On 世界冠軍 --

Sam Smith (Chicago Tribune 知名體育專欄作家)：

I always write NBA champions. It's American arrogance. It also sounds better on TV, more important. I hate that baseball has the World Series. We've seen with basketball and Canada has seen with hockey there's plenty of great sports being played all over the world and we have no right to declare our champions the world's best.

Marbury sponsor了一款低價球鞋，聲稱他穿的$15的球鞋跟$100的球鞋做工材料一樣好，不信可以切開來看看。他表示新賽季將穿着$15刀的球鞋比賽。
