Now I know he's back....getting the locker room in order.....now the team will get in line. Some players it seems have not been on board and KG is getting them on board. Now who they are is another matter and has this flowed onto the floor. For KG to speak on this I would say so.


“Steph’s leadership I think has been sort of questioned and damaged, if you will,” Garnett said. “But once a leader, always a leader. I’ve been telling some of the young guys who haven’t seen a lot of Steph that I thought we got a steal in grabbing him. “Obviously, for whatever reasons, his different relationships with different ballclubs was a thing of the past. If you look at some of the guys on this team, they haven’t always had the best reps before coming. But we deal with each other how we deal with each other, and he fits right in. Boston Herald

“Not only is he versatile, but people forget that Steph was one of the premier guards in this league for a while. And other than him not playing for a year, we all expect big things out of him. But I think he expects a lot of big things out of himself. He works extremely hard. You just don’t, excuse my French, be the (expletive) from a point guard standpoint, all them years of being who you are. Obviously, the facts are there, but you just don’t become that. You get that through hard work, watching film. I know what kind of drive he has inside, and I think he’s going to help us in the long run.” Boston Herald

I didn't take KGs words as if someone in the locker room had a problem with Marbury. I took it as if KG was just say how before Marbury got to the team he was telling the younger guys how Marbury is a leader and it would be a steal if they got him. Plus I think KG was putting the fans on notice telling us how Marbury will be a big asset come play-off time.

correction.....Rondo was asked by a ESPN site about what he was tired of hearing about and he said Marbury.

He was probably tired of answering the question:

How do you feel about Marbury coming to the Boston Celtics?
