As seen by the ignorant display by two New York Yankees fans this past week, the city lives and breathes for their sports teams. It takes a special player with a certain charisma to win the hearts of the New York faithful.

For a moment in time, that athlete was Stephon Marbury. For five seasons, Marbury ran Madison Square Garden and is still a legend to the fanbase today. Now, it is time for a younger Marbury to grab the spotlight.

Yes, Stephon Marbury II is beginning his college basketball career with California. He is joining the team as a walk-on. However, it seems that basketball talent is still in the blood of the second-generation athlete.

Fans of Marbury are taking the news rather hard, as it proves that we all continue to age at a rapid speed. Marbury II is just the latest second-generation talent that has me thinking about starting the search for a good retirement community.
