Yeah, I'm Sure It Probably Feels Like This For Knicks Fans

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:50:37 -0500

If it's not bad enough just to be a Knicks fan, the graphics department at YES Network are taking potshots at them. Seeing this probably caused Stephon Marbury to snap out of his delusional state. Just for a second, though. Alright, kids: another Saturday is in the books. Have a great night. Barry Petchesky will be your guide tomorrow. Treat him well. Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Because that November is a time which I must put out of my mind... Oh my God. That vi...

Sixth Man of the Day: Stephon Marbury

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:19:44 -0500

Somehow, we’ve never recognized Stephon Marbury as our Sixth Man of the Day…but that ends now. Sure, we like Transformers as much as the next guy. But it takes true fanaticism, some serious cojones, and a stroke of genius to strap on an Optimus Prime helmet and stream yourself live to your adoring fans…all at [...]

Starbuy- Point Guard in Disguise

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:21:02 -0500

Stephon Marbury seems to be doing all the things necessary to land back in the NBA next season. He’s showing up at a Knicks game and sitting in the wrong seats, and making more shirtless videos. This time around there’s no crying or singing.. Just Starbury chillin’ in an Optimus Prime mask. So now Marbury is [...]

Stephon Marbury Continues To Turn Craziness Into An Art Form

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:15:50 -0500

I'm no genius, but it seems to me that Marbury isn't a huge fan of Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni. In a tweet one would suspect was the rantings of a clinically insane individual, Marbury calls the coach "DPHONY." Nice. [SimonOnSports]

Nice to Stephon Isn't Bitter or Anything

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 15:56:00 -0500

It's pretty safe to say that Mike D'Antoni and Stephon Marbury didn't get off on the right foot last season with the Knicks. D'Antoni basically told Marbury to get the hell out of his locker room. But its nice to see that Marbury is mature and grown up and is completely over it. Or...So it appears as if Marbury would really like D'Antoni to get fired. The link at the end of his tweet brings you to his Twitter pic of a back page which says that these Knicks are worse than L...

Stephon Marbury Apparently Thinks The NBA Is Fixed & David Stern Should Be Replaced

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 00:30:00 -0500

Those of you that have followed Stephon Marbury's career closely, follow him on Twitter, or have seen his famed Ustream videos, are well aware of just how bonkers the dude is. Love him or hate him, he's entertaining and says some things that gives us bloggers something to cover on regularity, very much like Chad Ochocinco.In the latest Marbury eye-opener, he didn't himself say something, but he "

The Stephon Marbury Saga Gets Either Sadder or Stranger

Sun, 01 Nov 2009 12:01:49 -0500

Look, Stephon Marbury, I can understand you taking a year from basketball to, um, "build your empire" or whatever it is you're doing. But you probably can't do that by disrupting NBA games for no good reason.Worse, ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan reports that when you showed up at Madison Square Garden for the Knicks' home opener on Saturday, you couldn't even get the party-crashing to go right, sitting in the wrong seats, being asked to move, and generally acting as a...

Stephon Marbury Stalking the New York Knicks

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 23:25:26 -0500

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 [...] Related posts:Video: Stephon Marbury Post Release Interview Stephon Marbury is free at last from the New York...Stephon Marbury And Amazon Team Up To Sell Starburys • Stephon Mar...

I guess this is Marbury's way of retiring

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:30:02 -0500

I don't see any other way to interpret this tweet.Basketball is just a game. I will say it again. 14 years 250 million. Hold that. I'm good.. Thank you jesus for the blessing. Thanks NBAStephon Marbury made a quarter of a BILLION dollars playing basketball. Wow. Keep that number tucked away for later.So with his apparent retirement... let's sit back and remember his last highlight: His 12 4th quarter points in Game 5 against Orlando.

On Wednesday, the celebrity-watching TMZ.com posted video of Marbury appearing to smoke a joint. That speculation was put to rest when TMZ followed up with another clip Thursday showing Marbury laughing and telling his viewers: “I smoke marijuana [...]

Has Marbury Cost Himself Another Job?

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 17:06:02 -0500

Yahoo! Sports Adrian Wojnarowski lays into Stephon Marbury and the behavior exhibited during his 24-hour Ustream: As Stephon Marbury clung to that camera for most of those 24 hours, a lost soul spiraling within a voyeuristic ‘net culture, one longtime associate kept logging in and out of the video chat Friday and into Saturday morning. “He’s lonely,” he told me. “This is sad to watch. I feel for him. Money doesn’t buy happiness.” This is someone who has worked with Marbury in the past, who li...

Stephon Marbury Really, Really Like Us

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 08:29:47 -0500

Via the Boston Globe:“I’m not trying to get a bunch of money,’’ Marbury said. “I know Boston doesn’t have a bunch of money. I’m not seeking out teams with more money. I want to play for a championship-contending team. I can’t play for a young team that’s not in a position to compete for a championship.“I want to play in Boston. I’m not going to say that I don’t. But I know the way that business works. If I don’t come back it won’t be because of me.’’“They brough...
