NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Sports figures are doing more than just raising money to help people in need during the coronavirus outbreak. Some are being much more active.
The sports world is helping, some players through donations and some through connections. Stephon Marbury is one of them.
The former Knicks star and Brooklyn native wants to help provide 10 million masks to hospitals. Since retiring from the NBA he has become a celebrity in China and is using those connections to get New York City the coveted N95 masks direct from the manufacturer at cost.
