Stephon Marbury is a man of his word. It’s been almost two weeks since he said he’d be at the Knicks home opener and sure enough he was there. And so was his video camera.
Marbury claims to be sitting out the NBA season to work on business ventures. So far he’s only been recording himself and putting the videos on Youtube. And they’re not the vaseline eating or crying videos we’ve come to expect from Starbury. Now he’s hanging out at a gas station or trying to bring attention to himself on an escalator at Madison Square Garden.
There’s no doubt that Marbury loves basketball and wants to be around the game whether he’s playing or not. He’s showed up for games in the Garden and LA while not playing. But I don’t know why he would want to be at a Knicks game. Marbury dogged the team in the same article he said he would be at the home opener.
“I’m just talking as a fan and New Yorker who grew up loving the Knicks: why would I give you my money to watch them?” Marbury said. “This is atrocious. Guys coming down court, just raising up 3-pointers from anywhere. The coaching is horrible. What kind of coaching is this?
Stephon needs to put down the video camera, avoid the media, and workout like crazy if he wants to be in the League next year. The odds are already against him so he doesn’t need to make things worse with strange behavior in videos and holding a grudge against Mike D’Antoni.
*UPDATE* Marbury kicked out of MSG seat [ESPN]
Our hero left the game shortly after shooting the video above. Steph sat in the wrong seat and when an usher told him he needed to move he took his camera and went home.
