Marbury's happy ending in Beantown (nba.com)

Stephon Marbury received a standing ovation for the first time in over a year from Garden fans. Over course this was at TD BankNorth Garden not Madison Square Garden and he was dressed in Celtic green not Knick orange. As he bounced around with the C's during the pregame introductions Marbury looked like one of the guys. As if he had been there all season. Marbury was just filled with smiles. "I'm just so happy to be able to play basketball again, no matter what my role is," Marbury said before the game, wearing a Celtics warmup before his No. 8 jersey was rushed over for a photo opportunity.
