The Tale of Two Marburys

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the (summer) of despair.

Very observant. I also see no head tattoo.

...No conspiracy here, please move along...




Which side is the tattoo? He has something on the left side which is obscured by the lack of light. Has his hair grown out a bit- too?


There are some other clips on YouTube where he talks about pot and not being under contract, which, in his mind, justifies his use of it.


His actions make you think that he has not gotten any feelers, let alone legit offers, from any NBA or Euro teams at this point. This internet chronicle of his boring life is basically his way of coming to terms with this, and separating himself from the sport that is the only thing which could have given his life enough meaning for people to be interested enough to watch his sad and pathetic decline as a person and athlete.

Marbury: 'You saw me' smoking marijuana

I love a good drunk
I like the negative marijuana comments. I've smoked it for years, and, no, I don't do heroin. What I really like is the drunks. The … read more ones that drive to fast, weave in and out, kill people. The drunks that start fights in bars, or beat their girlfriends, or who can't get up in the morning. The one's who can't hold a job, can't have fun or sex without drinking. The ones' who have abused livers, or die in their own vomit or after their lungs fill up with fluids. Or the people that live on wine and barely eat, and babble abuse or nonsense for hours. Yep, I love the drunks.

From the man who demonstrated how eating Vaseline is good for your health, former Timberwolves basketball player Stephon Marbury has gone frontal and confirmed: Yes, that indeed was him on-camera smoking marijuana.

Marbury, who lives in Los Angeles, is turning the Internet lens on himself for all to see in his live stream at www.justin.tv/tv.

On Wednesday, the celebrity-watching TMZ.com posted video of Marbury appearing to smoke a joint. That speculation was put to rest when TMZ followed up with another clip Thursday showing Marbury laughing and telling his viewers: "I smoke marijuana ... yep ... you saw me."

From there, the 32-year-old free agent who played last season for the Boston Celtics, added, "I'm not under contract ... I smoke weed occasionally. ... I'm not driving ... I'm following the rules."

Last month before the camera, a shirtless Marbury downed a glob of Vaseline and explained that he was eating the slippery stuff to relieve his sore throat.

Marbury joined the Timberwolves as a rookie in 1996 and played for Minnesota until being traded in March 1999.

To see all of the TMZ clips, go to the celebrity website and type Marbury's name in the search window.

I don't care if Marbury smokes weed, but didn't make a big point of saying he wasn't on drugs when everyone was speculating about why he was behaving so bizarrely?

Maybe at the time he was on drugs and therefore couldn't remember that he was on drugs

I'm just real disappointed. I thought it was all about finding god, and spiritual evolution. Apparently it was all just about getting high and lying about it.

This "betrayal" will be the tipping point which drives you toward total cynicism.

Yup.
