Steven A Smith: The Knicks Players *hate* Stephon Marbury

Hey Hakeem06, aren't you forgetting the Amare quotes were he takes digs at Starbury's work ethic after the trade?

Where are you getting your inside knowledge from, by the way? I certainly don't get mine from TV personalities, and yes, I did know about Stephon's charitable nature (though it helps when you're in the highest tax bracket and you can declare almost all the charity as write offs). I think Stephon does right by his community. I also believe he's been chummy in most of the locker rooms he's been in - but he's also a coach killer and isn't much of a role model for his teammates.

I remember on one of the first shows of Quite Frankly Steven A had him on and was kind of on his nuts. Maybe he was just excited about his show. On a side note I remember Scrubbary saying how he is better than Nash. What a Jive Turkey that Stephon is

 

Feigen repeats the information here: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/3701679.html. Of course, I don't know if he did any fact-checking or if he's taking Smith at his word.

 

Great! This is also the Stephon Marbury who got traded three times, and each time, his former team immediately became a contender in their perspective conferences, right? This is also the Marbury who got into a feud with at least one player of each team he played on < KG(Minn), Van Horn(NJ), Amare Stoudamire(Pho), Q Richardson(NY)>, right? This is also the Marbury who calls himself "Starbury", right? This is also the Marbury who barked at the Rockets bench "I should be an allstar", right?...

I might be a little confused here. Maybe you are right, he's a great player and a good guy.

 

We dont really know Starbury so its tough to make real judgements but quotes from former team members is pretty telling. I remember quotes from Amare / Marion grumbling that they dont get the ball because he hogs it.
