I'm hearing that Steph's father was at the game, had a heart attack at halftime and the Knicks did not tell Steph...Nothing confirmed yet...

If this is the case this is the worst thing ever happened with any sport organization on my memory....
I hope this is wrong...

Wow. That's just terrible. Why would they not tell him?

Unbelievable. I haven't been a Steph fan, but I have to back him up on this one. I feel terrible for Steph and I hope he makes it through all of this okay.

His father had chest pains and left, how the hell could the Knicks coaches have been made aware of that during the game ???

And if Steph never plays for the Knicks again, that'll be a great day in Knicks history.

Any lack of professionalism some of us have accused Steph of is trumped a hundred-fold by this. I'm interested to see how Little Jimmy's Talking Head Brigade covers this one up. Even if Marbury the Elder hadn't lost that battle (and God rest his soul) Steph should've been notified at the very least.

so what's he planning on doing, going back to Coney & staying there? the team will have grounds to suspend him & dock his salary if he does that... this is just a highly emotional time for him & he obviously made the comment before thinking it through... you don't just throw away $42 million dollars (unless of course you're Jim Dolan)

I'm sorry. If a high profile person like marbury's father is rushed to hospital. I'm positive high ranking knicks were informed. What was the excuse for not pulling him out and telling? Trying to win a game?

This just shows how disgusting dolan and this franchise has come.

Ah man that just made it worse. @ half time? He should have been pulled to be with his father.

The Rockets pulled McGrady when his wife went into labor right in the middle of the game......they should have did the same for Marbs.

Lord please don't let this be true.

If this horrible thing is true, Steph will have all rights to not only get all his money but get a lot more in damages from MSG. And he should. To not let this happened again with anybody else...

If this is true it is a new low for this organization.

This might explain why Stephon was yelling, and I wouldn't blame him.

I agree totally, when I heard he was cursing and needed security, it didn't make sense, but after hearing that he died at the game. The only logical scenario of why he would be mad is that they knew and didn't tell him. Think about how F'ed up that is, your father is dying and you possibly have the chance to talk to him, see him, be with him during his final hours and that information is withheld from you.

none of us know what happened... there might have been different stories going back & forth & they might have wanted to wait til the facts were known for sure before telling Marbs about it... i highly doubt their concern was to win a game as being the reason they didn't tell Steph... that's idiotic.

Check the other Stephon thread...

Associated Press

Sunday, December 2, 2007

NEW YORK -- Don Marbury, the father of Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury, died Sunday night during the team's home loss to the Phoenix Suns. Team spokesman Jonathan Supranowitz said no other information was immediately available, other than that Don Marbury wasn't at Madison Square Garden when he died. Stephon Marbury was escorted out the arena by security shortly after the game. The New York Times reported on its Web site, citing an unidentified person, that Marbury's father had chest ...

thing is, if I am playing the game and my dad is there complaining about chest pains and then leaves, I would hope someone would tell me "hey your dad left."

I wouldn't put it past this organization to do something like that. Dolan let the sexual harassment case go to trial, that was also idiotic.

How do you figure? His father was removed from the arena during the game and they let Steph play out the game while his father was dying. Had they informed him he might have had a chance to spend some time with his dying father.

How is it overreaction to be disgusted by such actions by our franchise?
