<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><u>Stephon Marbury</u> revealed yesterday he's going to look for his shot more this season than last. Marbury's remark was jarring - a departure from his philosophy last season when he talked about reducing his scoring role and deferring to <u>Eddy Curry</u>. It was thought Marbury would further reduce his shot intake with the addition of <u>Zach Randolph</u>. But Marbury believes he has to be more of a threat to make this work, and Isiah Thomas has apparently encouraged him behind the scenes to be more aggressive. "I'm looking way more for my shot this year than last year," said Marbury. "When I'm aggressive, it just opens things up for other players as opposed to me last year, I was sitting back."</div></p> Source</p>
That is great news. Of course by great news, I mean that it increases the entertainment factor for watching the Knicks. They were going to be entertaining enough to watch with Curry and Randolph trying to race to the same spot on the floor, but now with Marbury shooting more, this is epic entertainment.</p>
I can see his point in a way. With all of the scorers on the inside, somebody will have to make shots from the outside so the others have room to operate.
