Knicks story is getting more odd by each passing moment. In fact, if someone to write a script that included what's been happening this franchise, it would be scoffed at and deemed too unbelievable. Sexual harassment suit, intra office affairs, bad business deals, and clashing personalities are all things that a reality show has. Maybe this is a way the NBA is getting into marketing, having a real life reality show as one if its franchises. Bold move.
On this episode of As The Knicks Turn, Isiah Thomas decides it's a great idea to have a fight 30,000 feet in the air in hopes that Stephon "Starbury" Marbury will be cooled by the thin air up there. After Stephon learns he's not starting in lieu of a second string, second-year point guard, he flies himself back to New York and refuses to play for the Knicks. Sounds almost believable so ar, until Stephon decides to mention, not in so many words, that he will blackmail his coach to get his starting job back.
Upon hearing that he would back up second-year guard Mardy Collins, Marbury marched toward the front of the plane to meet with Thomas. Five minutes later, an enraged Marbury told his teammates that if he wasn't starting he wouldn't suit up for the game. But it was something else Marbury said that stunned his teammates in the back of the luxury plane.
"Isiah has to start me," Marbury fumed, according to the source. "I've got so much (stuff) on Isiah and he knows it. He thinks he can (get) me. But I'll (get) him first. You have no idea what I know."
Seriously, I cannot wait for the next episode of this? How much more fucked up can a franchise get? They can't make any moves because they are a billion dollars over the salary cap, and no one wants their over priced crappy players. That's right, I said crappy. Come on, Ronaldo Balkman as a first round pick?
Secretly I think Isiah Thomas and Stephon Marbury are related somehow, because they act almost exactly the same. Each believes that he is the reason that their team will do well, and in the end they destroy whatever team they're on. Although, to be fair, Isiah is only destroying things as a manager - he won as a player.
