Gus Johnson LOVES Stephon Marbury. There is no way Steph will be even close to being in the hot seat in this interview. It's all about putting Stephon up here, to make him look good once again especially for his Starbury tour. And once again, Steph is coming to camp out of shape, right into the angry jaws of the booing Knick fans.

Yep it will be a FLUFF interview. It's only beneficial to Marbury Jock Strap riders and Homers. Actually I think this was planned by MSG and Gus due to the recent happenings concerning Marbury. The dude needs to be gagged in the worst way.

Its funny you say that. It seems to me that Marbury *Haters* follow Marbury more than the *JOCK STRAP* riders and *Homers* do. I wonder what that makes *Haters*. Like Bippity stated earlier a lot of you guys are obsessed. You probably follow every action and hang on every word he speaks. Watching all his Tv shows, watching & reading all his interviews, reading his blogs. Probably only waiting for him to say something wrong to bash him on.



You aren't good at reverse psychology at all.

Wow, Knicks fans are interested in a Knicks player. Wow, what are the odds? Let's all feign amazement over this brilliant revelation.

That BS and you know it.....

Okay. So when you and others continue to respond to Marbury-related threads, time after time, that isn't obsession, right? Or is it just being a fan? Get over yourself.


LOL!


YOU SUNK HIS BATTLESHIP!

Can you please explain to me the difference between a poster who you claim only digs up trash on Marbs vs. a poster who artificially finds only positive things about Marbs when the negatives CLEARLY outweigh the positives for this LOSER? I just don't see it.

As for what I said, Marbury is an interesting topic because he's a Knick, and because he was supposed to be the savior and our team has been CRAP since he's been here. So, is it criticism? Yes. Is it fair and justified criticism? Honestly, yes. Objective is that a lot of GMs would've waived Marbury already for his negative attitude. Unfortunately, we have tweedle-dee the wonder bunny who is love with Marbury, since he reminds him of a retarded version of himself. Whatever. The point is that some people find Marbury to be disgusting and a disgrace. He was given more than a fair chance. If he wants to get the fans back... all he has to do is apologize publically, stop holding interviews that make him sound like he's on crack, think twice before he speaks, and start, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS GODDAMNED CAREER, playing team ball. That's all. If he does that, I will take back anything bad I ever said about him. Until that day, he disgusts me and I hate that he's on my team.

And no, we're not Marbury fans, we're Knicks fans.

First, when you say artificial, are you implying that the positives are made up? Second, I can't recall too many, if any positive threads about Marb with the exception of his Sneaker threads which usually starts out positive but turns into something else.

I try to tight-rope the fence so I can see both-sides. I take Marb to task when he needs to be taken to task, and applaud him when I feel its just. But there are many fans who dont show any objectivity when it comes to Marb or any other player they dislike on this team. If thats their schtick, fine. But that schtick lacks credibilty.

You know what, big. Every time I start to give Marbs credit, he lets me down almost immediately. I gave him a lot of credit as being our best player. He failed with a team tailor-made for him because he couldn't didn't like Van Horn, so he got him traded (this is documented fact)... and others. He failed with the next team, because Isiah tried to build a team around him and he was a thorough disappointment, including resulting in the firing of Lenny Wilkins, a coach he supposidely supported publically, but yet was backstabbing behind the scenes. Larry Brown -- a complete disaster on both sides, Steph refused to cooperate. Kurt Thomas was traded to appease Steph. Larry Brown was fired because of Steph. Steve Francis was a failure in NY because of Steph and was eventually traded. And all of this is just the tip of the iceberg.

So, the fact remains, do people dislike Steph as a Knick? Yes. Why? Because we love our team and Steph has been a disaster on the Knicks. Steph's stay in NY is viewed as negative by many, because it has been negative. Hey, when Steph has a good game AND we win, we all cheer together. But it's tough when you take a broader view, and know that a main reason why we aren't winning is because of one guy who doesn't get it.

My only problem with some who show a severe bias against Steph is that they make it seem like he's the source of all our problems, when that's not the case. He can only be who and what he is. Jason Kidd can't be a high scoring AI type of PG on a team with no scoreres, cuz he's not that kind of player. TJ Ford can't be a Power drive, post up, tough rebounding PG, cuz he's not. Steph is not a pure PG, but we hate on him cuz he was put in the position of being a Franchise player on what has been a flawed team.

In the ways that he could he did what he could to help this team win. He hasn't always understood what it takes to win and he's stubborn, which is all his fault. But last year he sucked it up and learned how to play the way Isiah wants him to play PG. It wasn't easy for him to swallow his pride, but he DID DO IT! He took all the booing and never lashed out at the fans like some athletes do. He took his medicine and admitted he stunk. More than that he got better. He's played in pain in the last 2 seasons and still gave it all he had.

Still tho that's not enough for some people. They give him zero credit for playing well last year. In fact they now point to his lower stats as proof that he's not that good anymore, after railing aginst him when he had better stats, calling him a stat whore. FREAKIN HYPOCRITES! This is proof that these guys aren't even close to objective when it comes to Steph. You don't have to love him but try to be fair.

Wrong!

Those who highlight the dip in his stats are showing that because he spent all his yrs trying to be this dominant scoring guard even at times when he wasn't the best player on his team has caught up with him. His athleticism is fading and now he has to adjust(remember his crybaby statements to the media?) "I'm not used to playing this way".......we now have to endure him learning how to play the position the right way. And if his scoring is down, which was to be expected(although highlighted by the so called HATERS) the other main point from a HATER'S view......

Why are his AST dropping?

Excuse me I meant

Why are his DIMES dropping

Well, don't worry True, as Marbury already proved to us, you can have a lot of dimes, even if you have a low number of assists.

The Bio is a complete LMFAO and I'm sure there's been other things recently added to inflate the LMFAO.

There's stuff on there before he was a Knick that is just down right gut wrenching.

First question is about his behavior on Mike'd Up.

They're not even hiding the fact that this interview is nothing more than damage control.

When you write this stuff it makes me wonder if you even watched any Knick games in the last couple of years. You think Steph can't play at a high level anymore? You think his Knee tendonitis is something that prevents him from doing what he used to do? The guy stopped dunking MANY years ago. He's only taken a dip in scoring due to the desires of the last 2 coaches. LB had EVERYONE's numbers go down and Isiah rightfully wants the offense to go thru Curry.

As for his assists going down, that again has to do with the coaching style of LB and Isiah. He's not playing the way he used to. Since they have him giving up the ball early in every possession, there will be fewer times when he makes the direct pass that leads to the basket. However as a team we improved offensively, so his dip is not a negative thing against him. It's a team thing.

You should know if you watch the knicks closely, what kind of sets we run and how the ball moves. Why are you acting like you don't know these things. I honestly don't really respect your comments as much the more you make these kinds of posts. Don't be negative just for the sake of it. Have something valid to offer up next time.

We all should love Steph
He is the main inspirational point for most of the UK posters.
Hate him or like him - he is a personality...
Some people like clowns some hate but this is a profeson to make a leaving.
Good work Steph - keep it up and we will be even funnier.

Haters: tell the truth...It would've made you a little happy if he shouted you out by name during the interview. Isles you could be Nicole Ritchie to Marbury's "Paris". Wait a minute, i sense another hit reality show in the works...peep the listing from TV guide.

What happens when you put a disgruntled Knick "fan" in a loft with a fading "superstar"???

Right, I wanted that psycho to call my name out. It would have been the coup de grace on my affadavit for a restraining order against him.

The "Hater Life" would be the most entertaining and highest rated show on MSG since they had Yankee baseball.

It's what happens when you have the worst run franchise in professional sports. A lot of fans get frustrated. The "optimists" support everything imaginable and the others get even more frustrated.
