you know i (happily) eat crows since marb is a knick.
I used to hate him, he was the kind of player i totally disliked. This makes me think Im' a true fan, since when i came in NY i started to root for him to succeed.
My friends laugh at me cause of my change of opinion about him.
Now, I really really appreciate to withess the way he's maturing and changing as a player and as a person.
We may be very very lucky to have him now, at the moment when he could reach his true potential.

This is a very nice story. Marbury did well to look up to a very special player and person. Stephon's grown as a player these last years and the fact that he looked up to Grant Hill had to be a big help to him.

The maturation process for Stephon Marbury has been one of the greatest transformations I've seen in watching sports for over forty years. He should be proud of what he has accomplished, how he has grown as an athlete and more importantly, the man he has become.
