I liked old marbury
This past offseason Steph claimed in SEVERAL interviews (high or not) that he'd shoot less, average 10 points a game and dish the ball a lot more.
Yesterday he says he's going to shoot more.
So which one is it?
Me I prefer for him to score more.
What would you guys want?
10pts 8 assists 3 turnovers
or
18pts 6 assist 4 turnovers
??
Old marbury, with timberwolves and Phoniex, 1st year with NY, was a 20 pts and 8assist guy with 3-4 TO. I want him back. The guy who was so dangerous defenses keyed on him getting everyone else open. I actually want a winner, at least with phoenix he used to make playoffs. I'd like to see him play more like Kidd, a guy who makes plays, not just focusing on scoring, although scores sometimes. Kidd makes plays, he makes the big assist,steal, pass, shot, rebound(yes rebound) He's the Best all around point guard in the league. Marbury has talent to do this, need right attitude and he may not have it. Talking of shooting more or less, thats not the point. It's making the play. No matter what it is, the dagger 3, the drive and finish or dish, the rebound. Thats what he needs to do focus on making the play, not the stat sheet. I said it in another post, you can have a terrible stat sheet, zeroes across the board, but be the most valuable player on your team, Maybe your every assist is erased by the extra pass, you set the pick to get the sg open. you don't rebound but you box out and your teamate gets the board. You don't get a steal but you were in the passing lane when the passer tries not to throw you the ball and he throws it away or to someone on your team. Maybe You don't get a block, but your right there all over your man, hand in face, adn he's got to adjust his shot and its off. You penetrate the D, breaking it down, causing chaos, miss the shot, but the guy who switched to pick you up left his man open to clean up your missed FG. You instill confidence in your players by freely distributing the ball to every player, this inspires your other teamates to trust the guys and it becomes contagious. When a guy is selfish you call him out, tell him to pass. You run the show set the tone. Marbury has the talent, he can be a leader, guys will follow him, he just has to step up and make the Play. Take the ball out of crawfords hands and back into marbury and give him a shot.
