Stephon Marbury, the fourth overall pick in the historic 1996 NBA Draft, confirmed his retirement from professional basketball. The 40-year old has played the better part of the last decade in the Chinese Basketball Association. His last game will be on Feb. 11, when his Beijing Fly Dragons host the Jiangsu Tongxi in the last regular season game of the year.

The 22-year old veteran liked how his career played out and how he, not injuries, decided when it was time to call it a career. According to The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears, Marbury said:

“I'm tired, man. I'm tired. I played 22 years. It's all good. I'm straight with how it is right now. I like being able to have control over going out the way I want to go out. I'm 100 percent at peace with it. One hundred percent.”

Once his season in China ends, Marbury plans to return to his offseason home in Los Angeles. But still, he said he plans on being physically ready “just in case” an NBA team calls him.

Marbury is a two-time NBA All-Star who led the league in assists during the 2003-04 season. He last played for the Boston Celtics in 2009 before going overseas. His other NBA stops include stints with the New York Knicks, Phoenix Suns, New Jersey Nets, and Minnesota Timberwolves. His career averages are 19.3 points, 7.6 assists, three rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game on 43.3 percent shooting from the field and 32.5 percent from three.

In China, Marbury became a three-time champion, winning a Finals MVP award in 2015, and was a six-time CBA All-Star.
