Starbury’s number’s more than just his number

Stephon Marbury might wanna think some more about getting his number tattooed to his head.

Stephon Marbury might wanna think some more about getting his number tattooed to his head.

For current (and probably soon-to-be-former) New York Knicks’ guard Stephon Marbury, the No. 3 is more than just what he wears on his jersey: it’s his brand.

Starbury, that is.

And now his brand is branded to his head.

Marbury went the Mike Tyson route and tatted up his dome with Starbury’s company logo.

Stephon Marbury bounded off the Knicks’ team bus at Vegas’ Valley High last night – a new tattoo inscribed on his left temple. The “3″ logo found on his Starbury sneaker and apparel line is now a permanent part of his bald head.

For his sake, if he doesn’t stay with the Knicks, here’s hoping he ends up somewhere where No. 3 is available. Or where they don’t have a no-headband policy.
