Business decision as in no other team really wanted a selfish old point guard.

Maybe even the bigger question is what state of mind is Marbury in?

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 …read more

Sometimes you have to just cut your losses and move on. Are the Knicks listening?

Chris Duhon shows his passing ability

This one had to hurt.
One of my favorite hoop players to watch, but one of my favorite players to not have on my team, Stephon Marbury has lost the battle for starting point guard.
That was Mike D’Antoni’s explanation yesterday on why he has all but chosen Duhon as the New York Knicks’ starting point guard over Stephon Marbury . Duhon has looked barely adequate at best during three preseason games, but that hasn’t stopped D’Antoni from glowing.

Knock knock.
Who is there?
Isiah.
Isiah who?
Exactly!
Isiah not Knick no more.
Please give me the Knicks coaching job, because if Isiah could stink as much as he did in New York and still hold onto his job as long as he did, then it will be mine for life! Think of it, Madison Square Garden, all the great fans, the money, Spike Lee, etc.
Thomas was fired as the New York Knicks coach Friday after a season of listless and dreadful basketball, a tawdry lawsuit and unending chants from fans demanding …read more
