Marbury sounds off on Knicks' hiring of 'World Wide Wes'

Former New York Knicks star Stephon Marbury didn't shy away from criticizing the franchise's decision to hire William Wesley - more commonly known as "World Wide Wes" - as executive vice president.

"C'mon man, c'mon man. At New York Knicks, did you really just now bring world wide sucker to the New York Knicks. … Really? You brought this dude here? Why? I’m a real New York Knicks fan. I’ve been a New York Knicks fan since I was a (kid)," Marbury said in a video posted to his Instagram on Thursday.

"C'mon (Jim) Dolan man. You gotta be kidding me, man. You brought this dude here? Really? What's going on man. There's gotta be an explanation," Marbury continued. "Not him. Out of all people, you bring this dude here? You bring him to NYC? To New York? He ain't got no credibility here. Nah."

Marbury also took to Twitter to sound off on the hiring, calling Wesley a "kiss ass" while also questioning how much the hiring would help the organization improve in the win column.

Prior to starring overseas in the Chinese Basketball Association, Marbury spent five seasons of his NBA career with the Knicks from 2004-09.
