In the "Monday Bullets" section @ http://www.truehoop.com/ , check out where it says:
Obviously, there is all kinds of need to adjust for inflation and changed circumstances, but Tommy Beer points out that in strict dollars, Stephon Marbury is making more this season than Larry Bird made in the first dozen years of his careers combined.

While Zeke is gettting extensions for being 5 under .500 this puts things in a little perspective. The link brings you to a short but quality article, its worth the read.http://www.truehoop.com

Ok but guys named Colangelo and Thorn signed and extended Marbury right? Am i wrong here? Honestly i'm not 100% on this but i think those guys are responsible for the contract.

And lots of guys are overpaid in the NBA. I don't see why the Celtics are talking. Paul Pierce has done a little more than Marbury in his career but not THAT much. So why kill the NY guy?

I don't think it was intended to be a hater's point of view, just thought it was interesting and the other points in the guy’s "6 pack" mentioned the Knicks as well.

I don't know about you guys, but if there is a mention of the Knicks on one of these sites I always like to take a look, esepcially now that we're not the laughingstock we once were...

Fair, but the point about the win streak and the Knicks surprised me.
