Marbury receives sentence, suspension for DUI

Point guard Stephon Marbury of the Phoenix Suns, a former Georgia Tech standout, was suspended for one game by the NBA and sentenced to 10 days in jail after pleading no contest to extreme driving under the influence Friday.

Marbury also agreed to pay a fine and attend alcohol education classes. He will begin his jail sentence Saturday and will miss the Suns' Oct. 30 opener at Seattle. He will match his suspension fine amount with a charitable donation to alcohol abuse and awareness programs.

Marbury was stopped Feb. 8 while driving 25 miles per hour over the speed limit in Scottsdale, Ariz. He registered a blood alcohol level of 0.18, more than twice the legal limit in Arizona. A blood alcohol level of 0.15 is considered extreme DUI.

Can we waive this ******* already? I can't stand him.

I'm posting this for all the people who denied that Marbury was one of the Knicks with a criminal history. We've got more than a few. I'm also waiting for all the "what's wrong with drunk driving posts?" Seriously, anyone who posts that, go to hell.

Solace, are you really wanting to discuss the Knicks with people here or just trying to antagonize them? Is it about conversation or being right? Reading over the tone of a lot of your posts I'm really questioning what your goal is here. I'm not saying you are alone in this, just standing out to me at the moment, so don't take this as me singling you out as the only person doing this. Take a moment to read over what you are posting here and in other threads and look objectively at how your posts are coming across to people reading them.

Ouch. I guess your view is that I'm not adding anything to the conversation. Do you see any meaningful conversation happening here? Half the time I give up trying to give long detailed posts because people are too dumb to read them and make comments. The few that do, I appreciate, but in order to have a conversation that has to be some give on both sides. As the "lovers" give none, why should I?

I also hate Marbury and severely dislike Thomas. I'm not going to support or not support someone blindly just because I can "relate" to them -- that is what half the board is doing. Everyone knows the Knicks have been a disaster. I wish some of the doubters of that would see that view and respect it, instead of being dicks about it.

I think everybody's getting a bit snippy. Should be better once pre-season starts and we can talk about how the team is actually doing.

I think you also see posters bristling a bit because people keep dropping by the forum to call us a bunch of haters.

This is sad as we all really care about the future of the club.
And if some posters believe that the bright future is blocked by some individuals it is not hatred.
We can be wrong about IT, Steph, Dolan, Mills, Jerom, nate, Eddy, Zack... and some of them can make Knicks better.
And as soon as they will do we will welcome them same way as we did for Patrick, Van Gundy, LJ, Spri, and Huston...
Somebody wants to destroy this board unity. And I will say like Spanish anti-Nazi fighters:

No...I think you add lots to a conversation when you don't break down into...lets call it yelling mode. I see meaningful conversation that deteriorates into pointless arguing. If someone isn't "giving" in a conversation...I'd suggest ending it.

Your comment (As the "lovers" give none, why should I?) is the crux of the issue. If both sides take this stance, whats the point?

I think that is a statement can be turned around and rightfully be said by those you are arguing with.

If I may close by quoting a very wise Raptor fan: Respond to the post, not the poster. (or something like that).
