Jealous of His Teammate
During the 1998-99 season, Marbury declined a maximum contract extension worth $71 million over six years. According to Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders and members of the team’s front office, Marbury grew jealous of teammate Kevin Garnett, who had already signed a $126 million deal, even though changing league rules prevented Marbury from making anywhere close to that.
