I guess Mike D'Antoni didn't win many over in his time as head coach of the New York Knicks. That's why coaches get fired, add in the fact that he wasn't winning enough made him more cannon fodder for the critics. But I bet D'Antoni didn't count on Stephon Marbury jumping on the rip D'Antoni bandwagon. Remember Marbury played for D'Antoni while the two were in Phoenix and New York.
Now Marbury is the last person to rip anyone considering he wasn't necessarily a winning player while he was in the NBA.
Marbury went on Twitter to call D'Antoni a coward.
"Coward's Step down men knock walls down that men like him post up. I told you'll about that dude but you'll didn't listen. #DANPHONY"
Mighty bold words from someone who once ate Vaseline. Just because D'Antoni couldn't make things work with Carmelo Anthony and tried to trade him for Deron Williams and failed doesn't make him a coward. I just call it a failed power play. And just because Marbury could never see eye to eye with D'Antoni doesn't make him a coward. It's called a clash of egos.

They played fast and fun, sharing the ball and sharing laughs, and their coach enjoyed the ride as much as anyone.
Just as quickly, it was gone again. And now, so too is...

Marbury - 6 games, 22 ppg, 37.5 percent shooting, 4 rpg, 5.7 apg, no blocks and never had one in his postseason career.
Wow... seems like a coward to me. Career highs of most great point guards when it matters destroy what he could do.
Nash career highs - 24 ppg, 52 percent from the floor, 13.3 apg, 5.2 rpg, 48.7 shooting from 3, 5 blocks in one postseason.
Payton - 25.8 ppg, 48.5 fg percent, 8.7 apg, 8.6 rpg, 41% from 3, 7 blocks.
Billups - 22 ppg, 45.7 fg percent, 6.8 apg, 5 rpg, 46.8% from 3, 5 blocks.
Stockton - 27.3 ppg, 62 percent shooting, 15 apg, 4.7 rpg, 75 percent from 3, 8 blocks.
Paul - 24.1 ppg, 54.5 percent shooting, 11.5 apg, 6.7 rpg, 47.4 percent from 3, 2 blocks.
Is he a guy who has any right talking sh!t? He's garbage with a career postseason that is among the worst ever. Any point guard who shoots 35 percent from the floor, 27 from 3, averaged 12.6 ppg, 2.6 rpg and 4.6 apg while never having ONE block and never getting out of the first round as a player who was in the 8 man rotation... should go away.
Marbury was always overrated, and out of all the scoring point guards, was the worst. Iverson, Francis, and Baron Davis were all better.
