Can anyone be too bright? I don't think so. This has nothing to do with Curry. I would be glad to get rid of both Curry and Marbury. All I am saying is that you use a set of arguments to defend Marbury that you would criticize if somebody used them defending Curry. Saying that I am not too bright and not replying to my arguments against Marbury (I am not arguing pro Curry here!) is way below your usual standard.
But the good thing is that the quote above shows me that you have nothing of substance to say in Marbury's defence. You can't argue away lack of success.
Marbury actually plays defense and can share the ball. Both are totally opposite NBA players in every way possible. You really have no original argument against Marbury; just repeats of the same old crap the media has been using against him for years. I'm not worried about Marbury's passed, I'm concerned about what he can bring to this team.
Mid range shot
Powerful and quick penatration
Solid defense
6-8 assist a game.
15-18 ppg
Experience
Great awareness in the pick and roll
Unselfishness
What else do you want from a PG? Marbury isn't Paul, Nash or Kidd, but he's going to be the man for New York and a big reason why we'll make the playoffs this season.
lilman_bklyn, since you're going to stress and cry about the past; Marbury has been to the playoffs multiply times; there is no comparison between Marbury's success in the NBA to Curry. Please, don't reply with some weak shit saying Marbury has never won a chimp, so have another 400 guys in the NBA. Why will you Isiahsexuals and Marbury haters be original for once? I would trade Curry in a heartbeat before I trade Marbury. Marbury is our best guard, where Randolph is our best big man. Curry's softness can be replaced.
pat, you're obviously not understanding. Marbury individual skills make us a competitive team, and there is no question about that. He defends better than most point guards in the NBA, can penatrate as good as anyone in the NBA, and creates shots and opportunities for his teammates; a B level passer...and a B level PG. He's no all star anymore, but he's still damn good. Lee, Balkman, Marbury, Collins, Richardson, sometimes Nate were positives from last season. When Curry was off the court, the offense was much more fluid..
nyKnicks126, why do you follow? Once again with the past history that doesn't connect to what Marbury can do for us now. My assessment on Marbury is based on what he's done as a Knick, under like 4-5 different head coaches I believe. Herb Williams, Lenny Wilkins, Isiah Thomas, Larry Brown...and Don Chaney? Anyway; constant coach swapping isn't an easy transition for any PG; learning over a new system, getting familar with what a coach wants, the whole perspective is challenging...so take that into consideration instead of expecting athletes to automatically fit in every system right away just because they're athletes Marbury barely played with enough times with Kevin Garnett or an all star Kevin Garnett. KG was a rookie or sophmore, and Marbury didn't play that many games in Minnesota. Same with Kenyon Martin(Why do you say Keyon Martin's name like he's a top 10 PF? Guy is a bust and injury prone) Marbury and the Suns actually won a handful of games, just fell short to championship teams like the Spurs.
This whole "Real PG" non sense is overstressed. Are Tony Parker and Billups real PG's? Billups has been a scorer for most of his career, and Parker is an 19 and 5 player. You wouldn't consider the fact that these guys are surrounded by shooters and the best defensive teams in the NBA? Props and respect to Parker and Billups for their success, but they're not the primarily reason for their teams success. The Wallace brothers and Tim Duncan plus their teams respected defenses are the primary reasons for the success and championships.
Fuck a real PG, Marbury is good enough. We got a legit big man in Randolph...now we need a center to compliment him. I feel a Camby/Chandler caliber would work better than Curry.
Marbury hasn't been the solution(one player cannot be the solution, you need teammates), but he also hasn't been the problem. Lets be realistic here instead of just "hate" on a player with the highest salary.
GetRealstic, you're just not very good at posting.
