    I think Marbury can flourish under Coach D'Antoni...same with Nate Robinson and David Lee and Wilson Chandler.

    How do you go from being an allstar and making comments like "I'm the best point guard in the NBA" to coming off the bench (and not because of your age)? Marbury better accept whatever role they give him, even if its as a ball boy because he hasn't earned the right to complain about anything.

    At the time (4 years ago), Marbury was putting up 20/8 and the Knicks were in the playoff mix. It wasn't farfetched to consider him the best point guard. Besides, everyone says they are the best - look at Paul Pierce. And it isn't confirmed that Marbury will be playing the bench role either. He said if the team needs him to come off the bench, he will. Marbury's showing signs of leadership and maturity now.

    I don't understand why people will be satisfied throwing him $21M to play for another team.
