What the F? is he some kind of baby? Hey your getting benched dude, it happens when you don't perform, The blame may not lie all on your shoulders. Be a leader, take it on the chin, when the team needs you come in off the bench and knock their socks off! Earn your way back. Make Isiah look silly for benching you. Be a man and a leader, not desert the team.
This is not news, it's a cause for celebration.
That's one less player with a semi-retarded basketball IQ and no charcter on the team.
Damn, looks like things are starting to get ugly within the team. I don't blame IT for benching Steph for long stretches. Steph has not been able to keep any opposing PG in front of him. The way he let Jameer Nelson go wild was inexcusable.
I'm not saying he's totally to blame, but he among other players must play better.
Crawfords ass should be benched then too.
Someone on Realgm.com said this
TEAM TURMOIL IN FULL EFFECT:
According to my sources:
On the way to phoenix, IT informed Marbs that he was benching him for mardy.
Marbs told IT he cant do that and that if he did, he had so much dirt on IT that it would ruin his career. They began to argue and it escalated into a full on brawl on the airplane. Marbury after it was broken up said he was outta here and said he was going back to NY (reason he is reportedly AWOL).
In addition, Rose has told people "he is tired of babysitting this team and wants out"
I doubt it's true but you never know...
If this is even remotely true, I will never root for Marbury again. This is not the situation IT needs right now after the whole sexual harrassment crap and everything else. I can see a lot of his teammates losing respect for him if this is really true.
All I can say to Mardy is: PROVE TO EVERYONE THAT YOU CAN RUN THIS TEAM!!
Go Mardy Go! I pray Marbury stays gone, and we can find some job abandonment clause through the Knicks Legal team to sever ties with Stephon permanently.
damn the knicks doing it the wrong way, to make it public is just wrong but now at least mardy is going shine

Change happens, but c'mon now... we have had 5 games. He's played extremely well in two of those games. he didn't do that bad in the Miami game until the end. The other two losses, Cleveland and Magic, his defense(or lack there of) was exploited... So because of this all of a sudden you push the panic button? C'mon Isiah ... Please
I've got mixed feeling over this...there's no other PG that can guard him when he wants to play. But that's what I question...his desire to play. He has it still...the talent is still there but he doesn't push himself. The Ls don't make him mad...and when that occurs you can only question his heart. This is a sad day for the knicks...I only hope Marbury's excursion is beneficial. But I only can judge this situation by what happened and since no one knows...I can only expect that he'll be back soon. Otherwise I see plenty of Ls in the near future...
What the **** is wrong with you MARBURY-HATERZ????
cant believe I read every day your Marbury diss!! Take it easy MANN!!
Marbury is the heart of the fricken Knicks team! We lost against the Suns and we will lose against the Clippers too!! Until Steph gets back for sure!!
I really wish he could be Starbury again like in his Nets years!
And I'm really happy that HE took the shot against the Heat and not Crawford cuz he's the MAN!
Come back STephon!! And let's make the PLAYOFFS!!
Go Knicks!!!
And Mardy Collins goes down... this team is cursed...
