Stephon Marbury, who is one of the legendary names in NYC basketball, went into his memory bank to recall when he played against Gottlieb in high school.

Marbury wasn’t the only one to unleash on Gottlieb. Baron Davis did as well.

The reactions around the internet were harsh. Gottlieb got the Wikipedia treatment after Marbury’s Twitter beatdown.

In addition to Marbury, some other New York hoopers you might know include Ron Artest, Lamar Odom, Kenny Anderson, Chris Mullin and Mark Jackson. And you also have Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bob Cousy and Bernard King if you want to go back in time.
It’s safe to say Gottlieb woke up a sleeping giant with this take, which is nothing new for him.
