Stephon Marbury's 22-year professional basketball career came to an end Sunday after his Beijing Fly Dragons defeated the Jiangsu Tongxi in their season finale in the Chinese Basketball Association.

Marbury, who turns 41 on Feb. 20, told The Undefeated's Marc J. Spears earlier this month that he's "100 percent at peace" with his decision to retire.

Here's his final 3-pointer:

As for his future plans, Marbury intends to stay in Beijing and help with the development of Chinese basketball.

"It's been a blessing to see how basketball has continued to grow and develop in this country in the past nine years. I hope my spirit and the way how I played the game can affect the younger generation," Marbury said prior to Sunday's game, according to Xinhua.

"In the future, I'll give my best and my love for the game to the younger generation here in China. That's my obligation."
