The Knicks got their feelings hurt last night by losing to the Wizards by one point and moving outside of the playoff picture. Meanwhile overseas, a former Knicks player from their period of 21st century irrelevance is flourishing. 

Stephon Marbury recreated the scene from Miracle in his mind when he led the Beijing Ducks to its second straight CBA championship. The winning continued after he shed the tears. Marbury was granted "honorary citizenship of Beijing." He's the 30th person to receive the honor. We're sure Donnie Walsh is happy for him.
