"Let him play."</p> </p> Sources said a relative told Knicks officials Don Marbury had a history of these types of episodes. Stephon, the second youngest of Don Marbury's seven children, didn't need that kind of distraction right now, the relative said. -- <font color="#000000">New York Daily News</font></p></div> </p>
Sometimes it's best to just wait. If he had passed on then theirs no point of telling him then and there.</p> I believe this is just another addition to make New York look a lot worse.</p>
Why would you tell him in the middle of a game? He then runs off the court, and things are messed up. It is very sad what happend, but during a game, is no time.</p>
