In 2016, he became a permanent Chinese resident as he received the Foreigner's Permanent Residence Card.

Marbury even starred in his own biopic in 2017, My Other Home, or known by its Chinese name, I Am Marbury. It chronicles his redemption in the wake of an ignominious exit from the NBA by leading the Ducks to their first championship.

With all the love in China, Marbury said he would like to work for the development of Chinese basketball.

"I will be here forever, so I have time to first help the youth," he said.

"I want to add to China's basketball foundation. I understand the culture and work ethic because I'm a part of it. I'm teaching the next generation of what's most important for me, not just coaching."

He has said he would be happy to work for the Chinese national basketball team if invited.
