I thought it was interesting to hear that the Knicks hired relatives of Marbury who were unqualified for the job. He has quite a family. I remember when he was a Net there were alot of problems with his family members at the CAA. I can't remember specifics but if anyone does please post them.

See, this is what is so strange about the whole Marbury and his charitable side. He is so charitable but can't employ his own family and must press upon the team that is paying HIM to find jobs.

Also, I don't know exactly what Marbury eats for breakfast everyday, but if I did I bet I could find a bone to pick with it.

also the donations can be used as tax write offs.....not tying to be negative but if he sat their and paid for everything for his family then what would that do for him....

Takes a job away from a person whom is qualified. We ain't talkin about some pops giving his kid some money to invest and see if he does good. We talking about a job.

Some people do not have the same chances in life as others. If these guys grew up where Marbs did, their life is much harder than a carefree suburbanite who has everything in place for him to succeed and advance academically. There are plenty of very bright people who cant afford higher education or free rides to North Carolina to play PG I'm not going to judge Marbury's friends who I do not know. Hopefully they took the opportunity seriously.

You always have the option to work hard. If you put your head down and give 110%, someone will notice even if you are in over your head. There is nothing wrong with working hard and failing. It was nice of Marbury to get them the opportunity.

I don't see any problem with someone helping their freinds get a job. Just because they were unqualified, does not mean they are incompetent. Now if they cannot do the job, they should be fired, but I see nothing wrong with giving them a chance. I see rich people get their friends and family jobs all the time, and trust me, just because you are rich does not mean your offspring are smart, and those people don't get fired even when it is clear there are more qualified people out there. So why is it a big deal when someone like Marbury does the same for his family and friends. Is it because they are probably black and grew up where Marbury did, so they automatically presumed to be incompetent and stealing some more qualified (i.e. white person's) job?

How about a black guy who busted his ass in night school to earn a degree and is frustrated over the lack of quality positions available to him. Not being a member of Stephons family.

The point was are these cousins doing a good job and seizing the opportinity?

I don't think any of that stuff is Marbury's problem. This stuff happends everyday across the world, "Its not what you know, but who you know". You think that Tim Duncan or Steve Nash haven't hooked up family members with jobs because of who they were? Or stars/powerfull people haven't helped boost relatives buisnesses because of who they were. Over competition family buisnesses that have worked a lot harder to get to the level that they were at possibly running them out of buisness.

What have those other people done for Marbury that he should care if there more qualified??. I can bet that a lot of people on this message board got hooked up with jobs through family members or friends. Or have hooked up family members & friends with jobs. Have worked for there fathers companies and stuff like that.

Not that I think its right and all that some less qualified loses his job to someone more qualified because of connections. But Its just not Marbury's problem to worry about. If I had pull for a billion dollar company. I would be trying to get all my close family members and close friends taken care of as well. And so would probably 95% of this board.

Marbs is no different than all of us. We all try to help out family members. I have no problem with the guy trying to get them jobs. I also have no problem with the Knicks hiring them. but if they don't do a good job that's going to be the Knicks problem. That's why I don't hire anyone based on giving them a shot. I don't hire family members or friends or family members of friends. Normally turns out bad. Hire the qualified and leave it at that. But that's my philosophy and don't think there is anything wrong with what the Knciks and Marbs did. Problaby goes on everywher.e
I just hope that people will like me

That's my point. This stuff happens all the time. Marbury should not be criticized for doing it. I will say that if his friends are not at least doing a competent job, IT needs to step in and fire them. It is okay for friendships and connections to get you in the door, but you still need to produce when you get there. However, since I don't know the situation, I am going to assume that his friends and relatives are doing what they are paid to do.

What would make you assume automatically that they are doing what they are paid to do when you just said you don't know about the situation? Wouldn't it be just as easy to say "I don't know the situation so I'm going to assume they are not doing what they are being paid to do"

Look at these college athletes. Almost once a week you see players getting suspended by the NCAA because boosters set them up with these ridiculous jobs where players continually makeup hours that they work when they aren't even at the job. It's called a "no-show" job, the guy will show up for 5 hours for the week and report he worked 40 for the week, instead.

I'm not saying this is happening here, but I wouldn't be surprised and I also wouldn't say that since I don't know the situation that I will automatically assume that they are doing what they are paid to do. That would be extremely naive.
