The Knicks turn their back on Stephon Marbury
Why would Stephon Marbury be at a Lakers game?
Did you know he sat in Jerry Buss’s seat? Jerry is the owner, you know.
Marbury is living in Los Angeles, working out at a facility in Manhattan Beach and hiking in Runyan Canyon near Hollywood. This was the second Lakers game he’s attended this year. The first, rather famously, came in December when he sat courtside for the Lakers-New York Knicks game.
But there’s also no connection, Marbury said, between his
attendance Friday and the Lakers’ recent injury woes in the backcourt.
“No, there isn’t a correlation,” he said. “I gotta get out of my deal before I can do anything else.”
Why would the Lakers want Stephon Marbury? Isn’t he a ball hog, a disruptive force on the team, a bad chemistry guy? Well, yes, yes, and yes.
Well, then why would the Laker even consider taking on Stephon Marbury?
Because sometimes it works. Because Stephon would know this is Kobe Bryant’s team. There was always doubt about whose team it was in New York.
Now think about it, with Kobe, Pau, Bynum, and Marbury? That is a lot of big time talent and you still have Phil Jackson to make it work.
