No you wake up....I've been on this planet for a long time....giving money or other things that people need (charity) is positive. To add a negative conotation to that aspect just becuase you don't like the person giving is negative.
NY KNICKS 4 EVER! Will we ever find players like Anthony Mason, Xavier McDaniels, Patrick Ewing again? I hope so.

I can't believe some people hate Marbury so much that they would put any negative spin on all the charitable work he's done.

Dude,

show me where I added a negative conotation. Please do

LOL. Love the responses.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

i've read that IT endorses marb doing something to clean up his image. not that marbs is a screwup, but he did. wsdm, i'm witcha man, some people just don't like steph. a guy can't even do something to give back, and this guy does ALOT. only other guy that i can think of that does as much he is MAYBE zo.

The funny thing is when people call these $15 "charity". I have news for you folks. Marbury is not giving these sneakers away. Nor is he selling them at cost. He is being paid to put his name on them. That is not charity. Charity is when you give money or products to people. Not when you make money off the products sales as profit. If this was charity his company would be a non profit company.
List all the NBA players who do more charity (excluding these shoes if you prefer) than Marbury


David Robinson (Donated around 10 million dollars to his Carver schools that he established) and Steve Smith come to mind right off the bat.

Regardless of what Marbs does or does not do for charity my sneaker comment is spot on. He is making money off these sneakers. THEY ARE NOT CHARITY as several people keep saying
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

The only players you can list are retired guys?! If you don't consider the sneakers charity, fine. He's done plenty of other unambiguously charitable events.

Wow, the season can't come fast enough. Dumbest argument ever.

We have no idea how much these guys contribute. Stop trying to figure it out because you will never know. Ever. Let's move on to arguing about what Bip wants to argue about.

MJ didn't seem to have a problem wearing the old air jordans that didn't have nearly as much support as the sneakers nowadays do... Dr. J didn't have much of a problem being great wearing those old canvas Converse Allstars either... do we really need to waste time worrying about what shoes Stephon Marbury's going to wear this season? if there was any danger of him reinjuring himself wearing his brand of shoe as opposed to a pair of Reeboks or Nike's, i'm sure the trainers on this team would address it to him... i sincerely doubt the versions he wears will be the same exact ones that you will find on the store shelves anyway... they're more than likely going to have some special supports built into them.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Well, off or on camera he's done more charity than most here would do in several lifetimes. It's amazing that anything he does gets spun into something sinister by alot of the folks here.

Yeah, Marbury is the most charitable NBA player. Sure.

One thing he is good at is always having a camera crew around when he's doing these charitable things.

I am with you ShakeNBake... how would peeps like Islesfan know about the stuff he does off camera? He assumes all he sees is all that is done... the pessimism and general disdain for society on this board shocks the conscience...
You know I gonna spin wit it
