From nyblue56, a BBI poster...
Marbury had someone very close to him pass this Tuesday. He left practice and was at the spouses apartment. This is the man who geve him the foundation to be in the NBA and runs his basket ball camps in coney island. This is a huge loss for the whole coney island community. Marbury did not get permission from the knicks to leave but he did anyway. This situation may not end well with him, as he just loss one of his better influences in his life.
Who knows the truth right now. Why let the speculation continue if this were true?
If the Knicks had half a brain, they would say that Marbury left for this reason but that there was some miscommunication. We welcome him back and never say another word about it. I am tired of this crap. I just want to see the team compete this year. Win, lose, or draw, I want to see the team compete for 82 games. Enough with these distractions.
