Stephon Marbury, Bigger Than Basketball

Stephon Marbury is in great shape and has yet to play a game this season. Still, he is scheduled to earn 20.8 million dollars this year. Let me say that again, 20.8 million dollars just to hang out with his boys. That's the sixth largest salary in the NBA. Only Kevin Garnett, Jason Kidd, Jermaine O'Neal, Kobe, and Shaq bring home bigger checks. 

Marbury's hiatus stems from a disagreement with Knicks Head Coach, Mike D'Antoni. With neither side willing to cave, it looks like Stephon will have to get used to watching the Knicks on his 60 inch plasma. Poor Stephon. 

A team from Greece briefly showed interest in Stephon, but they are currently pursuing Jannero Pargo instead. Rumor has it that the Celtics have also thrown their hat into the ring but the Boston Front Office is unable to contact Stephon until he is released from New York.

Personally, I cannot say this loud enough: Do Not Bring That Cancer to Boston. Period.

 I do, however, have respect for Stephon because he endorses a 15 dollar basketball shoe. Jordan's shoes run over 100 dollars and remain unaccessible to the average 18 year old.
