Marbury is the most mistreated superstar/all star caliber player in New York Sports history.
Don't even make me bring out the outline on you guys.
What about A-Rod? He gets booed for hitting .330. Though Marbury has had it rough...

Kiya, just a matter of asking...were you for a Ron Artest trade?

Marbury will get plenty of playing time during the course of the season. There is no way you give Collins steady playing time with a player of Marburys calibur lounging on the bench. Trust me, there will be a situation when D'Antoni needs that extra boost and he will have to point to one of the most explosive players on the team.
I think Steph knows he 's gonna play. The luxury of having a player you can have drive to the basket and draw fouls at will is invaluable.
I'd like to see marbury get some time away from the pine, He makes 20mill per, he's a veteran, he's got actual talent. it would be insulting to put him in only at garbage time. But they won. We'll see. I like steph and if he gets it together and gets a chance, I can see this team becoming that more dangerous. Plus time off the pine, letting him show he's still got it, increases his low trade value. If he gets time and lights it up, teams who need that extra piece to get over the hup may be interested. But I do think he needs to prove he can come off bench to other teams, not complain and put up good numbers before his value increases.
The real test comes now. How does Marbury respond? Does he put up another YouTube worthy interview, or does he shut his mouth and wait patiently for time?

I whole heartedly agree.
The miami heat was never really a challenge. Even with wade, they won't be good - at most a 25-30 win team.
I can't wait til the knicks play some real competition and they get run out of the building....then the boos start raining down on D'Antoni because his all offense no defense game plan has no place in NYC which has all its knicks teams built on defense.
