"[Nash's] getting everyone the ball. Everyone loves a teammate that gets you the ball in a position to score," Shawn Marion, Marbury's former teammate, told Insider earlier this month when comparing Nash and Marbury. "Last year we had so many guys who could score, yet our point guard was taking a lot of the shots. That's the difference."

Suns center Amare Stoudemire put it more succinctly.

"Nash creates opportunities to get easy baskets. The game of basketball isn't easy. But he helps make it easy. ... That's what real point guards do."

I guess Stoudemire just has a very short memory. When he was actually playing with Marbury, he talked about Marbury (and Marion) elevating his play.

LOL In one particular game in his rookie year?? I do appreciate the effort though. It must have taken you awhile to find one little comment like that if you had to go back to the midpoint of his rookie year.

I think he was commenting on how Marbury had helped him all season. It's not like he said that one game was unusual from the rest of the season.

"That felt good because I was so on my game that night, Stephon and Shawn did a good job of feeding me the ball when I was hot."

How do you get "all season" from that?

all right; I'll admit I didn't notice the article was refering to just one night the first time I read it. I'll look for one that refers to a longer time span just to make you guys happy

Everybody should know by now that the difference between kidd and nash, and every other pg is that, they run as soon as they get the ball and the entire team is runnig right with them. It doesn't matter if the opponent made the shot ( freethrow, or transition bucket)as soon as he gets the ball they run.

As much as IT talks about athletisim and running steph refuses to run 90% of the time, and it's sickning to watch especially from a team that need to score a bunch because there deffensively challenge.

Steph doesn't refuse to run; there's just no opportunity. You need defensive stops to run. We don't get that.

Because that's not Marbury's game anymore. He's slowed down because he has bad wheels. He'll run the fast break when he has a chance but he's not going to push the ball and up the tempo the way other PG's do. His game now is get into the half court and either penetrate, shoot or pick and roll. That's it.

I was thinking back to Marbury's first game as a Knick against the Cavs and how he did nothing but pass and didn't look for his own shot. It was like he was saying "See, I'm not a selfish player." Usually when someone goes out of their way to prove to you that they aren't something, it means that they really are. Kind of like when Marbury claimed to the the best PG in the NBA and proceeded to go on a scoring binge but it took away from the rest of the team and we all know what their record is since.

Stop defending this clown, he didn't help Amare win the rookie of the year.....

Has anyone been watching how he plays the game, he is not deserving of an All-Star selection Jason Kidd missed half the season and they have a better record than the knicks, Dwane Wade is a better player and a proven winner, he took his team to the final four and the playoffs, marbury isn't a top 20 player in this league

His shot selection is terrible he shots to early in the shot clock....Amare is a good player and has gotten better in the past couple of seasons but what is making him so go this year is nash is putting the ball in a position where he can make his move right away and no one can stop him.....

Marbury is a street ball player always has been he is a one way player, he needs to go.....who cares if he does some special things and is exciting to watch

And did someone say they felt sorry for this ****ing guy....He doesn;t play defense, he doesn't care, he is getting 13 million a season and he doesn't bring the energy every night, he is the teams best player lead by example, but he can't

And Rebuilding in NY is possible, if their is a plan all fans would be patient there is nothing exciting about losing in the first round

Marbury's numbers will sky rocket during the last 2 months of the season when we go back to playing East teams and I wouldn't be surprised if we start playing .500 ball again.

Only to just miss the playoffs and not get a high impact pick

not only that but there have been many times when Steph has run and it's been a 1-on 2 break because no Knicks run with him.

How do you get "all season" from that?

Because his favorite song is "let's do the twist".

I already said I misread it. I don't mind admitting a mistake.

Fair enough. I must've missed that earlier. My apologies.

problem is Clyde was a geat defender and a heck of a lot smarter down the stretch of games.
