i would just be like oh well. i'm not a carebear it wlouldnt reallhy matter to me. hes a person entitled to feel the way he feels. I'm 19 man going on 20 not saying i'm old but i'm saying i really wouldnt care about it. i would still like to watch him play I dont want to be in a relationship friendwise with the guy I dont even know him. all a graph is, is his name on a piece of paper nothing really to me. i really think that what he said in the commercial he believed. and neither you or me know if he lives by that or not.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting 30 standing ver:</div><div class="quote_post"> Now that was funny. </div> Nah. Just ask Dre or Dez, I mean well. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">well i think steph has a right to say what he wants to say. And i believe the kid really wanted a graph and that he probally pestered him.</div> You really aren't getting it. He can say whatever the hell he wants, but you are missing the point of this. You are making excuses for a players misbehavior. He could have told a 50 year old to F-off, age isn't even a factor. The simple fact is he disrespected someone else asking for 2 seconds of his time. And blaming it on the person sure won't help the case either, like hagrid said, 'It's always the victims fault.' As I said before, it's amazing what the dollar can do to a person. With a heavy pocket, you think you can walk all over people - wrong.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Startellis:</div><div class="quote_post">So if you dont even know a person that you see on television they are entitled to talk to you?</div> Do you not even see the point everyone is trying to make? R-E-S-P-E-C-T for the people that or ultimately responsible for the money you make. Cool he don't wanna sign..it woulda took less energy for him to say "I can't right now I'm busy. Sorry." Instead he found it necessary to say "F--- off." Where is the logic in that?
for those of you sticking up for the way steph conducted himself, let me pose a situation for you... im standing in line in the grocery market with a shopping cart full of stuff, your mom walks up behind me with 1 item and ask if she could jump ahead of me, and i tell her "No, f*** off old woman." Am i not an a-hole? Yea, i have the right to reject her request to jump ahead of me in line, but there are better ways of doing so. If I told your mom to f*** off, would u defend me in this case?
bottom line is that it doesn't matter who you are, whether you're a basketball player or some homeless person on the street, you shouldn't have the right to disrepect someone like that. There's no excuse for someone to act like that no matter if he was having a bad day...whatever it may be for those people defending him, it doesn't sound like you guys have learned anything about manners or common decency. well "what comes around, goes around"....God gave Marbury the gift to play basketball and he can easily take it away in a second...and if that happened, i wouldn't be at all surprised.

You think Steph would do that to someone who's about the Rocks size? I don't think so.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Cain:</div><div class="quote_post">Kareem.02, your way of thinking I cannot understand. If a kid, say around 10 years old asks you for an autograph, OK, you can deny. Not nice, but still. You left the kid standing there with his head down, heart broken, no more happiness during that day. OK, bloody nice of you. Even if you decline, do it nicely/respectfully, don't cuss at a bloody 10 year old for asking for you to write you ugly name on his paper!</div> You make it sound like he HAS to sign him a a-graph, and in my opinion a kid is not 16yo, right! and I don't believe a 16yo would cry about it, he would either tell his friends, that it's mad cool that steph sayd something to him like that, or you know what, he should be even happier, to just have seen him in the mall.

Like I posted before, what if Steph did that to the wrong person. Didn't realize who he said that to and was like woops and gets his ass kicked. that would be funny, I mean just get ass whooped without having a big injury or anything like that. Just a black eye.
