Stephon Marbury arranged deal to get 10M masks to New York amid coronavirus outbreak

The state of New York is in serious need of medical supplies due to the coronavirus outbreak there, and a native son is trying to step up and help fill that void.

Former Knicks star Stephon Marbury, now a coach in the Chinese Basketball Association, is using his connections in China to get 10 million N95 masks sent to New York “at cost.” Marbury told Rich Calder of the New York Post:

“At the end of the day, I am from Brooklyn. This is something that is close and dear to my heart as far as being able to help New York.

“I have family there in Coney Island, a lot of family … who are affected by this, so I know how important it is for people to have masks during this time.”
