Former New York Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury is stepping up for his city amidst the Corona Virus spread. The Brooklyn native told the New York Post that he has made a deal with a Chinese mask supplier to provide 10 million N-95 masks for New York doctors, first responders, and other hospital workers.

Marbury, who played for the New York Knicks for 5 seasons from 2003-2009, was born and raised in the Coney Island neighborhood of Brooklyn. Marbury said that the idea began to form last week when he learned about how dangerously low the city was on protective equipment and the high prices they were paying for masks.
