Ex-NBA star Stephon Marbury donates thousands of shoes for underprivileged kids


Former NBA all-star Stephon Marbury made good on his promise, donating thousands of pairs of shoes for underprivileged children in the Philippines.

He led the distribution of his Starbury line of shoes on Thursday to different parts of Metro Manila along side Air 21 Express stalwarts Asi Taulava and Ren-Ren Ritualo. The two PBA players are represented by agent Sheryl Reyes, who is instrumental in bringing Marbury to the Philippines.

Marbury went to Juan Sumulong High School in Quezon City in coordination with Air 21 coach Franz Pumaren, who is also a city councilor, and mayor Herbert Bautista. They proceeded to Boystown in Marikina to deliver shoes as part of the Alagang PBA outreach program by the league.

The group also made shoe donations to the Ahon Pamilyang Lansangan foundation as well as for kids from Iloilo province, spearheaded by Petron Blaze swingman Ronald Tubid, who hails from that region.
