Two-time NBA All-Star Stephon Marbury once made affordable shoes so children from poor families could look like a professional player.

For the most part, Marbury was praised for it. But not everyone was impressed. Internet personality Michael Dion Peek, who created the We Done With Da 90s" movement, used his latest video to take at aim at Marbury, Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler.

LOOKING BACK AT KNICKS VS PACERS IN THE `90S

The New York Knicks and Indiana Pacers had one of the most fierce rivalries in NBA history during the 1990s.

They met six times in the playoffs in the decade, providing some legendary moments. These series were so intense that winning wasn't enough. They wanted to physically harm each other because things were so heated.

Former Pacers forward Antonio Brown said they wanted to defeat every opponent but it was more when facing the Knicks.

"I just wanted to be the [Chicago] Bulls but the Knicks, I wanted to fight those dudes," Davis told Back In The Hoops On SI. "I didn't care about winning, losing. I just wanted to fight them. I just wanted to beat their heads in."

The rivalry, which featured stars Reggie Miller, Patrick Ewing, John Starks and Detlef Schrempf, started with the Knicks eliminating the Pacers in the first round of the 1993 playoffs. The Knicks won again the following year in seven games in the Eastern Conference finals. The rivalry reached new heights when the Pacers broke through by winning in seven games in the 1995 conference semifinals. The series featured Miller's infamous eight points in nine seconds in Game 1.

"Those were some crazy battles," Davis said. "Those guys were the epitome of playing tough and playing together and having each other's backs. It was crazy to be in that situation where it was like the mecca of basketball coming to the Midwest playing the little Pacers."
