Yeah I did see that, It was done un der the guise of constructive criticism...When Larry lays into you in the press, it's done in a derogatory manner....There is a difference...I can't believe you guys are even attempting to compare the two...

please tell me whats constructive about "your the worst defensive guard in the league"

What did Larry ever say? Its pathetic the excuses you make for these players. Maybe its because Larry doesnt have Isiah's wink and smile.

Pathetic

Come on guys, unbelievable...How about the reference to Marbs not being so smart because he spent one year at GTech, then went on further to diss the school as well...can we really compare?

Do you really need me to get quotes?

Cat fight!

This whole popularity contest has been fabricated by MSG and is very upprofessional.

Leaking the buy out while Larry is in surgury? Then testing him to Silence? Very unprofessional!

Isiah not saying a word about who is coaching? very unprofessional!

We have Cops running off the media? Larry with a gag order? The team is a joke!

And then Marbury pleadging his desire to "die a knick" makes for greater drama!

This is all so very uncool it reeks.

True to all the above....Can I inject lame into the equation as well...Is there anything more lame than Brown pulling the Patrick Ewing juice card??

I don't think anybody took that serious. Just more of Brown grandstanding. The guy needs personal assurances everytime there is a report out there. When Marbury called Brown insecure, everyone was shocked. Not that it wasn't true but that he said it. That's sad. He said he is doing his job not knowing his fate. Hey Larry welcome to the real world. It would be nice to get reassurance after every rumor or bad feeling you get from your bosses but it just doesn't happen. Hey do what I do, just tell them "I see you tomorrow" or if you are fishing make it sound like a question. "See you tomorrow?" Who knows, maybe they will slip up and spill the beans.

if you were in the office and a piece of news came back to you that you may get fired, what's the first thing you do? you go to your boss and ask him if that's true. he'll tell you yes or no or lie to your face but you can get a response. now suppose you kept trying to contact your boss but he/she wouldn't return your calls. then how would you react? would you need reassurance? or are you ok not hearing from anybody and going about your business?

lb has NOTHING to lose. he gets his money regardless. just like players that show up fat or guys that quit on the court. they get paid regardless. so he says whatever he wants. and he's somewhat forcing the team to either say he's the coach or he's fired. it doesn't matter to him b/c he gets his paycheck regardless.

I am not a pyschologist but I post on a forum with one. Maybe he can be of some help but I took this off a site that is recommended by occupational therapist at my firm. I let you be the judge if you think Larry meets any of these criterias.

What do chronically insecure people believe?
I can never accomplish the task facing me!

Everybody is looking at me, just waiting for me to make a fool of myself!

I am a failure!

I am ugly and awful to look at!

I can never win. I am a loser.

What is the sense of trying, I'll never get it right!

No matter how hard I work to achieve, I never get any recognition!

I am incompetent in everything.

How could anybody ever say anything good about me?

I failed them in the past; therefore, I am a failure today!

Once a failure, always a failure!

There is only one direction for me to go in this organization and that is down and out!

No one could ever like, respect, or accept me!

I don't deserve to be treated nicely!

I don't fit in here or anywhere else for that matter!

Everyone else looks so good, so together; I feel so out of it compared to them!

I am an incomplete person and will always be that way!

I am so afraid that no one will like me!

Why would anyone care to hear what I say, how I feel, or what I think?

People are just nice to you in order to use you and get something they want from you!

People who are insecure can:

Have difficulties in establishing healthy, long-lasting relationships.

Be perceived incorrectly by others as being snobbish or uppity; therefore, they are avoided due to the others' misperceptions.

Become victims of fears that impair their freedom of action or choice.

Be candidates for paranoia feeling "others'' are out to get them.

Scare others away from them by their defensive attitude.

Be over-controlled emotionally, having problems letting others in on their emotions. This can lead others to guess what is going on until the passivity of the insecure person leads to an over-reaction by the others, resulting in conflict or rejection.

Have problems on the job or in school when they have the knowledge, skills and abilities to do a task efficiently but are told to do it in a different, less effective manner. They get so uptight about the job and are fearful of standing up for what they believe that they get angry, hostile, and resentful until they either quit or succeed in submerging their emotions.

Get passed over for promotions, advances, or honors because they are so quiet about what it is they do. This leads the insecure persons to feel more unaccepted, unappreciated, and under-valued.

Have problems meeting people and often can become debilitated socially by chronic shyness.

Become so inward that they seek to escape into their fantasy life rather than deal with the reality of their lives

I could not imagine if these guys played football. Do any of you guys have any idea what these coach's say? Marbs and the crew would have quit after day one and been run out of town. But in NY bball it's okay to quit, we fire the coach.

It's absolutely amazing how the media and management have once again duped us all into taking our eyes off the real problem and focusing all our attention on ONE MAN.

I also don't remember little old ladies who've never seen the movie in their lives saying "oh isn't that the movie that sucks really bad?"

He just couldn't resist could he? LB is such a freakin drama queen. Yeah we know its a tough situation, but really he's gonna be MORE THAN OK, when he leaves. He just wants people to feel sympathy for him as this mistreated and tortured soul. I'm sure when he gets back to his million dollars spread and jumps in his boat, he's not thinking about the bad treatment the Knicks are giving him.

Nuff said.

Never seen an old man from his generation carry on the way he does. He acts like a 5 year old.
