I really can't stand this guy anymore. He sounds dumb! A guy who says 'uhm' 11 times and stumbles over his words 4 times, speaking informally, with his arms folded, sitting slumped in a chair like he does, does not know how to conduct himself in an interview, you know, something that 'everyone' is going to see! His image comes off as 'stupid' to me. I don't get the impression that there's any intelligence there. Were the hell are the public relations people at? The ones who prep you for an interview?

If Mr. Attitude could just sit up straight, conduct himself in clear voice and talk like he really means it, then it might make a difference. I just don't see any change in this guy and still don't expect any, when he takes the floor as our self proclaimed 'LEADER'? Are you kidding me?!

I have a feeling this guy is gonna be like Ewing: a much better interview after he's retired.

With Ewing it came from being more relaxed and less defensive. With Marbury I think it will be because of Isiah. Now that basketball is just a hobby for Steph and he wants to become a bidniffman, I think Isiah will convince Steph to take public speaking classes and the like. I think till now Marbury has felt that a street-ball, ghetto image made him "authentic" and would be part of his appeal to urban youth. But now he's reconstructing his image and philanthropy, clothing deals, investments and pretend leadership will form his new PR agenda.

It will take time, and we'll laugh along the way, but Isiah will shape him like putty, and in time he too will come across as a smiling, charming, and articulate backstabber.
