Rightly or wrongly, this page is very much anti-Stephon Marbury. While I do not know much information on Marbury, maybe someone with more knowledge can make it more unbiased.

How could you be "pro-Marbury"? Lol.

Looking at his career stats it's easy to see that in the right situation, he has been and will be a very solid contributor. Because of the reputation he has acquired, he has a tendency to get blamed for the lack of success of any endeavor of which he is a part. Wait a little bit for all of the Knicks to be healthy (at which point they will start winning) and a lot of people are going to be pro-Marbury. No reason to laugh out loud. --Tractorkingsfan 02:40, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

i got rid of some non-NPOV stuff like saying he was an asshole and calling isaiah thomas mentally challenged.--Alhutch 06:39, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I got rid of this: They don't particularly like each other and have had a long-standing rivalry within the family. [1] because several weeks ago, Sebastian Telfair, on Steven A. Smith's ESPN talk show, discussing his documentary "Through the Fire" about Telfair's jump from HS to the NBA, Telfair told Smith that "his cousin (Marbury) was always there for me when I needed him."

Consequently, I think that it is fair to say that the "feud" is diffused and using the New York Daily News as a source, given the tabloid nature of that paper seems to be a bad idea, anyway.

i don't know who compares marbury to kobe. for one thing, their styles of play aren't really all that similiar. Dychoi 09:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

It's hard to make Stephon Marbury sound better because of all the negative things that surround him. The fact that the Nets and the Suns significantly improved the season after trading Marbury is a hard truth to counter.

I think that the comparisons between him and Kobe are about their attitude towards the game. That both players demand having the ball as much as possible.

In terms of personal opinion though, I lay most of the blame for this 2005-2006 season on Larry Brown. Mainly because he knew what team has was getting into did not have many veterans and primarily consisted of young players, who historically have not really been played that much by Brown. Larry Brown is a really good coach when he has the right pieces but he is not a diverse coach who can handle any situation. --Lonewolf26X 04:25, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
