If Crawfford is elected to be Captain instead of Marburry, it will be a slap in the face for Marb....Over all, I think that Marb will be one of the Captains....

Marbury IS the captain. Don't you people have any memory? lol And if he didn't retire, which he will, Houston would have also been one.

I don't believe in having captains.

I used to play in a couple of leagues as a kid and I never understood it. I would have something to say and I would get this "well i'm the captain!" routine. So I can't say something because someone else is supposed to? It keeps order in the huddle? So we have to look for the captain to bring us together?

I just think the whole concept is stupid.

I dated a girl who played ball for a Cuny school and she was the best player they had but the coaches named this girl that couldn't even dribble to be the captain. So the girl I was seeing wasn't allowed to speak her mind about the play no matter if they were in real games, practice or in off-season tounaments because those were also sponsered by the school. They used to discipline her and suspend her for games.....she was the leading scorer for christsakes!

Just stupid.....it's politics.....the whole reason why i didn't play for any school when I was younger.

Think back at the good ol' days of the 90's....Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, John Starks... Those were the captains in my opinion of the 1994 team.

This team, the top three: Stephon Marbury, and one other. Cannot say any of the new players yet, but if I had to pick, it would be either James or Curry.

Our Captains should be a guard and big man....Marb and James or Marb and Rose. I would prefer James, because that would put him in a position to want to exceed his performance at all time. Let's not forget that he has underachieve througout his career, so having him as a Captain would fuel him to be at his best at all times...

Marb can become a leader with proper coaching. One of the reason why Marb has yet to be successful in the league is because he wasn't coached early on about how to maximize his talent, but Brown will definitely help him with that.

who and where has Sanders coached prior tro Minny? Just like it takes time to become a good player, it also takes time to become a good coach.

Nate Robinson!

Hell yeah Nate the Great should be captain. WHo cares if he is a rookie and has done nothing in this league. Make him captain now!

why is Nate getting so much love on this board??? I know that the kid is talented, but he has yet to play a game for the Knicks.

It's the same lovefest you had when Zeke traded for Fugazy. It's called enthusiasm.

I agree. 1 Captain. It should be a guy the whole team respects and is vocal. Herb was way past his prime when he was playing here but he was one of the captains because teammates respected him.

I think we'll end up with no less than two, no more than 3 captains between the back and frontcourt. With all the new faces, I'd definitely want to see us having more than one captain.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

I agree with the one Captain concept only because more than one would create too much of a caos.

If the team really is the one to vote on it, then I think Malik will definitely be a captain. He's not the best player by any stretch but he's a natural leader. All you read about is how he encourages the young guys, screams out defensive plays during a game and how he has been to the top already. I think everybody on the team recognizes it. He will step up even more I think because of the lack of leadership on the team.

Other than Malik, the only other potential captain is Steph. I think they'll vote him in also. It'll be real interesting if LB only let's them vote for one captain.

if their must be a captain selected it should be a guy that will be here and not get traded....If he's named captain and traded halfway through the season then that would just look silly.

The Captain if there needs to be one will eventually emerge.
