Starting backcourt for the NYC Has-Beens…
I don’t suppose STEPHON MARBURY was ever briefed on the code of the streets because this week he decided to do something most people would say isn’t Hip-Hop. MARBURY threatened to dish the dirt on the New York Knicks coach ISAIAH THOMAS if THOMAS benched him because of his lackluster play.
Nevermind the fact the MARBURY is past his prime as a top tier pointguard in the NBA. I think its ridiculous that he would try to hijack his position with this team right after the ALLAN HOUSTON situation where the Knicks were forced to pay out a contract for an obvious burger bum. STEPHON should have more respect for the team, and the city of New York. Take your ass to Italy already.
The New York Knicks begin every season with a plate full of hope from the free agents acquired and the development of some of their younger talent. We fans don’t expect to contend for a championship unless every All-Star from around the league is kidnapped by aliens from outerspace. Being a New York Knick is more about having pride in your uniform. For chrissakes, STEPHON MARBURY wears the same number as one of the most hardbody players to ever wear a Knicks jersey. JOHN STARKS was the hustler’s posterchild, and MARBURY does all Knicks fans a tremendouis disservice by wearing that jersey number and being a lazy bum.
I hope that the Knicks are able to deal him to some other team before the new year so that we can get on with the business of playing basketball the New York Knicks way. Six years ago I was one of the fans that felt STEPHON MARBURY was given a bad rap from around the league, but now I see that I let my NYCentric mindset cloud my better judgement. Where there’s smoke there’s usually fire, but in the case of STEPHON MARBURY the fire has already been too smoked out. Maybe the Brooklyn Nets can use a mascot after their arena is completed. Until then I wouldn’t mind if MARBURY wore #3 for Lottomatica Roma.
Memo to MARBURY: Snitching in Italy is frowned upon seriously. Peep the Godfather series.
** UPDATE: To all my Knick Fans, stop by Rock The Dub and politely tell Khal to kiss your asses.
HEY! Don’t bad mouth Allan Houston!! He was a good look when he was not injured. OK, he wasn’t worth the $100 million contract or maybe he was. He was consistent when he was on the floor amidst the regular Knicks turmoil.
. . . sorry I always defend Houston, because he was a good player and a perfect team mate for Spreewell’s chaotic fire.
So what I was a Houston fan, his numbers were great. Don’t you remember the night he dropped 50+ on Kobe and Shaq!
. . . oh yeah,
StarMarbury. The star has fade. He needs to really mature really quick and accept his circumstance. HE CAN NEVER SAY THAT HE DID NOT HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY or was not surrounded with good players. His attitude and all-about-me-first-NY-point-guard-thinking has been his achilles heel ever since his step into the league. He should really take a back seat and support Jamal, Curry and Zach. PERIOD.Reggie Miller took a backseat to Jermaine O’Neal.
David Robinson took a backseat to Duncan.
Duncan is taking a backseat to Parker+Ginobli.
Iverson is taking a backseat to ‘Melo.
Iverson > Marbury.
– Iverson also had to deal with Larry Brown’s defense first strategy. Allen publicly bumped heads with Brown BUT they went to the Finals. Iverson was the only real marquee–all-star player on the Sixers that year, although they had an aging Mutumbo. And that squad had one of the best records that year.
– Marbury has never made it out of the first round. Yet his still considers himself one of the best point guards in the league!?!
Marbury is selfish. How many concessions need to be made to appease him?!? Yeah, I’m all for sending him to Italy. He’s definitely killing my NY season before it begins! Well at least there’s Boston and I’m still checking for Iverson’s big brother Darth Kobe.
Damn, the Knicks are a mess! The Celtics play the Heat and the Knicks in some upcoming games…it’s lookin’ like they may not drop their 1st game until next week. It’s like Sir Charles said:
“If you can’t be happy playing with Kevin Garnett then you’re just not capable of happiness”
Steph has had 10 different coaches, though? Are you serious?!
One.
True story: My 1-7 Bulls > Knicks
HA!
*sigh* The Knicks suck.
AY DALLAS – my Nets and your Knicks meet twice in December. We’ll see what’s really good then!
Shout out to Belize…but I wouldn’t go that far…we’ve been looking terrible.
Muthaphuq da Knicks, though.
Phuq khal’s Nets too.
AY NIGGA – WE MIGHT NOT WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, BUT WE GONNA RAIN ON THE BULLS AND THE KNICKS!
JASON COLLINS FINNA SMACK FIRE OUT Y’ALL NIGGAS… WITH HIS ASHY LIPS.
suck off ya mama
True Story: When the Knicks made that retarded-ass deal for Houston, I put a 10 year Puerto Rican curse on The Squad out of Anger… I guess the shit really worked.
Also: I miss Van Gundy…
The Knicks are paying scrilla to Houston, Larry ‘Grandmama – not the ghey one’ Johnson, Chris Childs and Charlie Ward. This has effed us in the a(no ATL) for a generation. I’m willing to put Marbury on that list to be through with his issues.
Oh, and FREE BARRY BONDS!
Stephon is a real talent but his basketball IQ is in the short bus range. Steph is your typical Brooklyn athlete…. plenty of flash and swagger with very little substance. Mike tyson, Zab Judah, Shannon Briggs…
The Knicks will never be able to grow or win effectivley with that dude on the floor.
Eddie Curry is the Power Forward version of Steph.
‘Heem,
Tyson at least became an icon for his sport. Marbury is definitely parallel to Briggs tho’.
His career would have been better if he had played his lane as a top tier ROLE player. At his best he was the Brad Daugherty of point guards.
No offense to Brad Daugherty.
