Larry Brown: Francis is low maintenance/Fun To Be Around

I think it worked alright, steph was pretty young. but talk about a player who has lost a step, I think marbury is suffering some of the mcgrady syndrome, he is young but he has some wear and tear on those legs. he is not nearly as explosive as he used to be.

 

marbury didn't want to be there, he wanted to be in the NY area and he wanted to be the main attraction. hopefully he has at least gotten over that by this time in his career. that's why people call him starbury.

 

So the Phoenix area reminded him of the NY area?

 

Marbury admitted later he was jealous of Garnett's 6yr/$120MM contract, which was unprecedented at the time. He had to get away from him. While with the Suns, he claimed Amare was a much better player as a rookie than Garnett was. Totally no class. KG refused to respond.

 

he went to new jersey first. I can understand him being jealous, he was pretty spectacular in his own right when he was younger, but it was still bone headed.

 

I think this has to be in the top 5 of all-time disses by a coach on a player who still plays on his team:

"The relationship between Brown and Marbury has been closely watched since Brown became the Knicks coach last summer. Marbury is a point guard who prefers to score, and Brown has been demanding on point guards throughout his career. There were doubts the two could get along, and that gulf has widened this week.

"I've been coaching how many years? A long time," Brown said. "I never left a team in worse shape than I got it. Not once. Now think about that. Think about me and think about the guy who's talking. All right? I've never asked anything of my players any different than I'm doing right now. Think about that.

 

that was awesome.

i cant for steve to take over this team.

 

Yeah, I know he went to New jersey first, just throwing in the Phoenix curveball.
