Look at Iverson...same thing. Marbury could have led that same Sixer team to the finals because it was constructed to succeed with one dominant player controlling the offense with the other four players cleaning up his mess.
Marbury at his prime couldn't sniff AI's jockstrap when he was winning MVP awards, let's get real here.
You're sure of that?
Check their efficiency before you go for that opinion. AI was always a chucker he just happened to luck into quite possibly THE BEST supporting cast for such a player in the history of the game.
All the game's chuckers wish they had that cast for one season. They too would all be highly successful in that environment. Marbury is no different.
Look at Iverson now? He's been garbage since he left that environment. Hasn't played any different really so why the falling off a cliff?
I hate to agree with anyone on here, but at his peak Iverson would only pass the ball as a last resort, possibly after the game was over. Stirbury was, as has been described here and elsewhere several billion times, a drive and dish shooting guard. And when they were both at their zenith, those were the matchups people always wondered about when talking about your backcourt's defensive liabilities.
That said, I can't wait for the dopey 3-headed freak to retire so we don't talk about him anymore. Hey, has anyone started a "Comparitive loss of posters from Bermanbury's blog" thread?
