The topic of today would be Stephen Marbury aka Starbury.. I know fans are elated that he is finally gone. He went from being a strong player on the team, to being a burden on the team. Fans hated the way he brought the team down and gave them such a bad name. His constant fighting with former Knicks head coach Isiah Thomas has caused both of them to get bad views..
Marbury was very upset with Thomas because he learned that he would not be starting in a game against the Phoenix Suns, so he flew all the way back to New York on a Charter Plane and it went downhill from there. Marbury felt that he would spite Thomas and the rest of the team by not getting dressed in his game uniform if he was not starting in the game. Best believe he sat there in his suit and tie at the end of the bench, looking foolish with that tattoo of his clothing line logo on his big head.
Marbury expressing his anger to his teammates said, "Isiah has to start me," Marbury fumed, according to t
he source. "I've got so much (stuff) on Isiah and he knows it. He thinks he can (get) me. But I'll (get) him first. You have no idea what I know."Daily News.com. I have no idea what the dirt it but it must not have been that juicy cause he ain't start Marbury after the so call threat was made. Thomas probably benched him because he lost his touch, Marbury used to be an all-star but with this new uprising of young talented players Marbury's skills has faded in the dust, and missing practices isn't making the situation any better.
Crystal feels..
Marbury just can't keep up with the pace, I mean Nate and Jamal are young fresh players and they easily score and help the Knicks do better. Steph just needs to relieze that his time is up, and resign so that the new guys could shine. Trading him to the Celtics has its ups and downs. He is finally out of the Knicks head and all the bad things they had 2 say about the Knicks are gone with him, but the downside of him going to the Celtics are that they are a championship team and his stubborn ways can cause them to have issues just as the Knicks did. Also, as both Thomas and Marbury are gone from the Knicks they should make-up and publicily apologize to the team, the fans and the Knicks general manager for all the trouble they put everyone through.

Crystal,
ReplyDeleteSolid post, but we need to work on your "blog style" just a bit more. For example, instead of retelling the reader the full story with Steph flying home, tell us that you thought he quit on the team and then briefly cite that as an example. Give the reader more of your "voice".
Still, nice progress.
