I am friends with a number of Steph's relatives. Old and young. There is absolutely NO anger towards the Knicks organization in reguards to this. It's being mumbled by other people (fans). Not the family.....at all. Funeral is Tues. Then I'll know 100% what's good. From what I am told it's a nonissue.

I am sure you can pass along that all fans feel for him despite what we think of the Knicks and his game and more than appreciate the community man that he is regardless of our attacking his game online.

Also, I am wondering if you saw or know of the assertion that a family member phoned WFAN last night and was ripping the Knicks for their handling of the situation and that Steph was saying he was done with the Knicks.


If a family member did indeed say to let Steph play out the game that makes me feel a little relieved in regards to MSG but I still gotta wonder why anyone would make that call...I just don't understand. I have read that Don had been ill for weeks and that his falling ill at the game would have caused great concern. Life is far bigger than basketball I don't feel good knowing Steph was allowed to finish out the game when he could have spent time with his father.


Well, whatcha gunna do I guess. It's a real crappy situation all around.

I just reread the entire thread to see what you're talking about. What are you talking about?

Check out Islesfan's response, the second line. It suggests that Marbury contributed to his father's death. It just isn't the time for that. Also, check out some of the other threads about this topic. We have folks talking about how they hope Marbury will sit out or never play again, etc. There are not a lot of comments of this nature, because most of us are sensitive enough to understand a man losing his father is more important than entertainment. But there are some.

oohah

I don't necessarily read those comments to be as heartless as you do. For instance, that line by Islesfan could be read sincerely too (or not). Marbury has been in the eye of the storm since at least the LB season, and it's been peaking since the summer. Surely even you must wonder if that, plus the resultant boos that the father has witnessed, etc, could have been a contributing factor in the matter.

In general I think people are being respectful of Marbury and his family - but we are still knicks fans, and it should be open to discussion as to how this incident and it's reprocussions will affect the team.

I think that if you want to start a board about the death of Marbs father when did they know it, who knew it, and what did they do and say and who did they say it to. Then start a board on that. this board is the wrong place to start stuff.Have some respect. Just say your peace out of respect and be gone. If you can't do that then out of respect don't say or do anything.
