Okay, here is what Stephon Marbury just said:
"I wouldn't want to play in that system," Marbury told The Post. "That system can't win championships. You can't win championships if you don't talk about defense. In Boston, the coaches even play defense."Where to start? First off, realize that I actually like Starbury a bit. He's exciting to watch and has unbelievable skill. However, he has no room to talk about anything right now.
"That system can't win championships"???? Maybe not, but D'Antoni's "system" has gotten further in the postseason than Marbury ever has. Marbury has gotten out of the first round of the playoffs just once in his career -- last year as 9th man for the Boston Celtics.
Look, I'm not saying that Marbury isn't right in his assessment. I also don't think you can win a title playing D'Antoni's style. But for someone who also is known for his playing style not translating to the postseason, it is more "pot-meet-kettle".
