Very interesting article about Marbury 

Post#1 » by TonyMontana » Thu Dec 18, 2008 5:51 pm

This is a very good article that was written a few years ago.
I do realize that there is a Marbury thread already open and I didnt mean to anything wrong doing by posting this thread, but I felt if I added it to the exsisting thread then it wouldnt be reed and it would fall under other posts.
So Mods if you dont mind me posting this article as its own thread and you can lock it. But I wanted to share a bit about this so called bad player, the cancer in the locker room or all the negative publicity that he has recieved, maybe just maybe if you read this article it just might shed some light on what he has gone through his life and his career and the fact that he has been betrayed by teams and certain players he has been teammates with, then certain people wouldnt pass judgement on him as a bad player or a bad teammate or selfish etc.
Again please take the time and read this article I know its a bit too long but it is worth it.

Edit: Tony- can you replace my edit with no more than 3 paragraphs you think represent the article? RealGM rules state a 3 paragraph per article max.

Good article, very long

It kind of shows that he's always been a loose cannon and also that he's really only excelled in situations where he was the star on a bad team. Not to say he can't be a valuable addition, and maybe he's learning a thing or two in his current situation, but not really sold on him either.

good long article. Thanks tony. now i want him on our team now.. lol jk

Many things we have to account for if we should take him in... Salary, who to trade off, chemistry ( a big one here). etc.

I used to like him up until the part when Mike D' toni asked him this year to play and he said no. I would have played to show other players and teams that i'm for the sport and not for "me, me and only me"
