Marbury: I Was 'Bamboozled' By D'Antoni
More Knicks News

Mar 28, 2010 11:22 AM EST

Stephon Marbury isn't done taking shots at the Knicks and coach Mike D'Antoni.

"I was the person everyone wanted to blame," Marbury told The New York Post. "When I was there, it was always my fault. But it's not one person. It's a team, a coach, an organization."

Marbury was banished by D'Antoni at the start of last season.

"You can't trick Knick fans for too long," he said. "When things aren't put on the table from the beginning, it's difficult to go forward. Being a straight shooter is what it's about. If you can't be straight, people can't respect it. I have no more qualms with him but he's a BS artist."

Marbury says that D'Antoni indicated that he would be a key player in his system.

"D'Antoni told me in a phone conversation the second day he got the job, 'If [you] stay in great shape, in our offense you can average 30 points,' " Marbury said. "I was excited. But I was bamboozled."

lol @ Marbury actually thinking he could avg. 30pts
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

When Marbs is against someone this guy must be decent person.

We'll never hear the end of it. Imagine, 50 years from now- everyone is an old fart like 80 years old, and Marbury decides that its that time, again. He starts talking, how life is not fair and all that. Perhaps Steph should just consider the possibility that despite his game, as an individual he has other various areas that make him up as a person. And maybe its those other areas that seemed to have prevented him from becoming more successful as a ball player(I am suggesting that its these "other areas" are just as or probably more important for developing our actions, habits and eventually our lives)

Wait... is "bamboozled" slang for "high"?

Just ten years for you...eh? I want back the last 30 years of mine? I actually believe that they were going to win a title in the 90s. The Spurs an ABA team got 4 since the Knicks last one.

Marbury bamboozled the entire fanbase during his entire tenure in NY.

Marbury got screwed by some really good coaches over the years.

He always plays the victim.

Whats the big deal, the guy is in his contract year and comes into shape.

How many times had Marbury failed this franchise during his 4 years?
