Stephon Marbury is trying to deliver 10 million N95 masks to New York City
But Brooklyn borough president Eric Adams told that he was initially informed by city and state officials that they did not need the masks
Former New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury is trying to arrange a deal that would deliver 10 million N95 masks to New York City.
Marbury told the New York Post that he arranged for a supplier in China to sell the masks for $2.75 each, nearly two-thirds less than their standard price tag.
Marbury reached out to Brooklyn borough president Eric Adams to help coordinate the sale. But Adams told the Post that he was initially informed by city and state officials that they did not need the masks.
When the Post contacted state Department of Health officials, however, they said state officials “want to talk to Stephon.” The department was put in touch with Adams’ office to continue talks.
