The harm he's done:
Feuding with Larry Brown
He was right -- Brown brought in Steve Francis for no reason except to try to make himself look like he wasn't to blame (which he was)
Brown and Marbury feuded before that, when Marbury refused to play in the system Brown had installed.
Feuding with Isiah Thomas
Anyone who wants to say Isiah was right or not to blame, go right ahead trying to win that one
I didn't say Isiah was right, but you asked what detriment he caused, and the fact that he couldn't get along with his coach caused detriment to the team. He threatened the head coach of the team in the media, that's a distraction and a problem for the team.
Feuding with Mike D'Antoni
Steph came into the season willing to compete, come of the bench, and had no problems - Mikey D did the wrong thing here and when Mikey D abonded Steph after leading him on by playing him all pre-season, Steph simply said, "I respect that they don't want me here, so I will leave."
He certainly had a problem when he wasn't put on the court. It was evidenced when he said that he basically did not want to play for Mike D'Antoni. I'll quote you Marbury lovers when I say "Would you want to play for a guy that benched you?" Marbury had a problem.
Feuding with his teammates
Who, when? -- Q-rich is a punk, he can't ball always hurt and if his contract wasn't so big and long he would be battling for 5mins a game on any team.
Whether or not Q-Rich is a punk is immaterial. He feuded with him, Malik Rose, Tim Thomas, Jamal Crawford. Regardless of what you think of these players, he feuded with all of them which caused a detriment to the team.
Leaving the team high and dry
His Dad died and was injured last season -- and was taking all the blame for the Knicks and never but the blame on the horrible teammates he was paired with
I feel sympathy for his dad, but he left the team abrubtly in the middle of a road trip. It's irresponsible as a "leader" and a detriment to the team to do that.
Refusing to take a cheaper buyout and held his team hostage for the $20 million
He did take a cheaper buyout & how was he holding team hostage ?
He wanted to play and they told him we don't want you here. If they would have told him this before the season, he probably would have left for less.
No, he said BEFORE THE SEASON that he was going to collect the $20 mil due to him. Any normal player would have an agent and negotiate a buyout, especially if he worked so hard in the offseason. Marbury was willing to give a million back or take the entire $20 knowing he would sit on the bench. He refused to participate in discussions that had him earning less than $19 million.
Refusing to play when the Knicks were short handed
He never refused -- didn't have a uniform at some games, and most importantly Knicks released him before it went to players union hearing because they knew they were in the wrong
He was asked to play, he said he didn't want to. He refused.
Asking to speak with other teams before training camp started this year
Who, when ? He wanted to play for the Knicks and played for the Knicks in the pre-season. The man came in great shape after injury and was ready for a season with the new coach -- then the coach says no (either because Dolan told him too, or because he was too weak to handle the situation himself)
Sources are coming out now from people not named Mike D'Antoni and Donnie Walsh that Steph asked to talk to the Celtics before training camp began. Read something.
Lastly, don't tell me about your Aunt, Mailmen, and Turtule and how they are fans of the Bulls, Packers, and IU
Don't make inherently false statements of which you have no proof or anecdotes. I just showed how what you said was wrong, and you obviously have no proof if you just don't want to hear it. Fact is a lot of Packer fans booed Favre, a lot of Bulls fans booed Jordan and a lot of IU fans booed Knight. Your statement is false, I showed it to be false, you just shut your ears like a 2-year-old brat.
You got ethered, you are wack, you are wrong....deal with it.
Here's another detriment Marbury brought:
After being asked to leave, he bought a courtside ticket to the Knicks game. Obviously he wanted to make a scene and be a distraction, which is exactly what he was. Even when he wasn't dressing, he was a distraction and a problem for this team.
