Stephon Marbury told The Post last night he won't be returning to the Celtics and is eyeing Europe stronger than ever.

KNICKS BLOG

Marbury, 32, has been talking to teams in three different European countries, including Italy, the past few weeks and is growing more intrigued if a strong NBA offer does not come along soon.

The Celtics have told Marbury they are not going to re-sign him after netting Rasheed Wallace. Marbury has been using Players Association attorney Hal Biagas as his agent.

"If I have to give it overseas, I'll give it overseas," Marbury said. "I like the Europe option to bring the Starbury [sneaker] brand there and sponsor soccer players."
As far as his NBA future, Marbury said he realizes he's not in solid bargaining position because of how little he's played recently. He joined Boston in late February after sitting out the entire season in a dispute with the Knicks.

"The Knicks put me in a really bad situation, a really bad spot, so I'm still waiting," Marbury said. "Teams are still shopping."

If Iverson's best option is the Grizz, and he is twice the man AddioBury is, then there are slim pickings for him.

Funny, it was not Isiah, nor injury, nor Larry, nor even himself that might drive him from the NBA, but the "recesson".

arrivederci! egotisticao Asciugamano testa offensivo Madre parte!

(good bye! Egotistical towel head insolent mother phucker!)

FredoBury!

He said he wanted to play in Italy...so he should go. He's not a plus NBA player anymore

My point is does this man think he is a relevant marketable commodity anywhere?

FredoBury keeps blaming eveyone for his actions. The knicks had every right to try to trade him. Marbury had every right to move on and accept a buyout at less than full value.

Now he thinks this is the stuff that markets sneakers and apparel? People want to project a winning image when the put on designer clothes. If it has the Starbury logo on it, its "designer"!

Marbury got paid for his basketball talent and is a wealthy man. By that means he is successful. His basketball image is that of a loser! If its basketball that makes him relevent as a marketing persona then who wants to emulate a "Loser!".

This is not an evil man btw, just misguided!

I am really amazed that no one is trying to help Dinglebury fix his image. Where is his family in all this? They must know that he is ruining himself with his actions.

He has a new sneaker coming out called, "The Comeback." Maybe it should be called, "The Passport."

He really needs an agent more than any other player in the league. What he is doing would be smart if he didn't have to sell himself or network to find a place to play. He just doesn't get it.

i wonder if most of the respectable agents out there have shunned Marbury too. LOL
