Marbury, however, wasn't able to receive the MVP award from the league as the CBA rules that only domestic players are eligible as candidates.

The rules had been heavily criticized by fans and media during the finals, but the league officials refused to make a change for this season.

The official MVP award will be honored at the start of the next season.

Marbury averaged 33.4 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 2.8 steals during the finals.
