<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> October 23, 2006 -- Stephon Marbury has shown he can sell sneakers. Now he's trying to sell his own TV talk show.
The Post has learned Marbury has filmed a handful of demo shows, including a one-hour interview with Kobe Bryant. His reps have been shopping the show around.
"We just haven't taken anything," Marbury told The Post. "We've had offers. We're looking for the right deal."
Marbury can be a tough interview when he's displeased with the tone of certain questions. But he feels he's a good interviewer, despite not taking any broadcast journalism courses in his one year at Georgia Tech.
"It's fun," Marbury said. "It's a lot of easier to speak to basketball players. I get certain things out of them because you're going through the same things that they're going through. The lives that we live is different than anyone else. You can relate to the person you're speaking to better than you [the media]. It was a great interview [with Kobe]. A lot of things people wouldn't be able to get from [Kobe], I can." </div>
