Stephon Marbury and Peja Stojakovic’s sons, Stephon Marbury II and Andrej have recently become teammates in California. This exciting collaboration brings together the offspring of two highly respected and accomplished basketball legends.
Their presence on the same team brings a combination of talent, athleticism, and basketball pedigree rarely seen at such a young age. The natural synergy between these two young athletes promises an electrifying gameplay that will captivate fans and spectators alike.
On Wednesday, Stephon Marbury II announced on Instagram that he had committed to the University of Cal as a preferred walk-on. The son of Starbury said in the post:
“My basketball journey and the Marbury Legacy continues. I’m blessed and grateful to announce that I will be a PWO at the University of Cal Berkeley!”
The DME Academy guard is listed on the team webpage at 6-foot-3. According to the site, his nickname is Star, a shortened version of the elder Marbury.
Marbury’s mother, Tasha Marbury, posted to Instagram with a caption that included:
“My baby son!! I’m not sure how you grew up so fast. You had a ball in your hands before you could even crawl. I watched you do sit ups and pushups at age 2. You started running the stairs around 6/7. I thought you was being pushed too hard. What did I know?
I’m proud of you for staying humble, faithful and grateful. We’ve had a few rough years, but you never gave up, you pushed through.”
Marbury commented on her post with a message that included:
“Mannn these past 8 years have been challenging but we did it! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be turning into the man I am today.”
Stanford transfer Andrej Stojakovic, the son of former NBA All-Star Peja Stojakovic and one of the best available wings in the portal, has committed to Cal, he told ESPN.
Stojakovic visited the Golden Bears’ campus last weekend and came away impressed by coach Mark Madsen’s program. The Sacramento, California, native was pursued by Kentucky, North Carolina and Michigan, among others, but opted to stay close to home.
“It was just the overall transparency from Coach Madsen and his staff,” Stojakovic said. “We had many conversations about a development plan, what me at Cal could look like. Just overall, the consistency with them recruiting me, spending time with myself and my family.”
“I didn’t know him at all. My dad didn’t know him personally. He came to the house that same week I entered the portal,” Stojakovic said. “The stories and experiences he was able to share with my dad the first time meeting, we kind of bonded over each other’s goals. What he wants to accomplish for his team, but his vision for myself. He truly believes in me, the staff truly believes in me. That’s all someone like me could ask for.”
The basketball world eagerly anticipates witnessing the evolution of these promising young talents as they embark on this exciting journey together. With Stephon Marbury II and Andrej as teammates, their potential is boundless, and the future looks incredibly bright for both of them.
