After friends and family shared stories of Donald Marbury’s life, they invited Rose — the Knicks’ elder statesman and conscience — to speak on behalf of the team. Rose walked onto the stage by himself. He was about 25 seconds into his remarks when the rest of the team, from Jamal Crawford to Eddy Curry, Quentin Richardson, David Lee and Renaldo Balkman, unexpectedly filed in behind him.
It was a powerful gesture, regardless of circumstances — but especially because of circumstances. The Knicks have not always stood together the last several seasons, on the court or in the locker room. It was only three weeks ago that they seemed ready to break apart.
