What is everyones definition of "Creating your own shot?" Obviously, a lot of you didn't watch the Knicks pre Marbury, b/c that's all he has been doing. He has been hounded, double teamed by the opposing teams best defense CONSISTENTLY. He consistently droped 19- 23 a game.
Just b/c he doesn't always take it to the rack, doesn't mean he can't create his own shot. What, do you think those killer jab steps, driving and pulling up for Js are? As a matter of fact, he took 6 foul shots against the raptors, today. If you say he is a mediocre player, you are dead wrong, and haven't been paying much attention.
Yes, he is not a very good defender. Yes, his rebounding is worthy of criticism. Yet, if you paid attention last year, you saw good improvement on his D. Then, he got surgery. That's all I can say about that.
I consider him to be a "Boarderline all star." He is what he is. He's a big time scorer, a SOLID passer and inconsistent defender.
If you don't like him. Fine. Yet, to say he is mediocre b/c he can't create his own shot is BS.
