<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Shaquille O'Neal said Stephon Marbury should let his play speak for itself and speculated that the Knicks' point guard would have been better off playing another season for Larry Brown. "If you say you're the best point guard in the world, now you have to come out and show that every night," O'Neal said on SportsNet New York. "The only time when I really say that is when I have a real big game. You never really heard me say I'm the best center to ever play the game. When you say that, you have to come out and show that every night, especially here in New York." When asked before a game against the Nets during the 2004-05 season how he would match up with Jason Kidd, Marbury replied, "I'm the best point guard in the NBA." O'Neal, in the city with Miami Heat teammate Alonzo Mourning for a charity event, said of Marbury's relationship with Brown, "You have to listen to somebody that's been there. "If they know and understood that Larry Brown's been there - two years in a row - if you listen to a man like that, then he can take you to the next level," O'Neal said in the interview aired Monday. Commenting on Brown's messy departure from the Knicks, Mourning said: "I don't like the fact where coaches can be made scapegoats ... If you do what the coach asks you to do, you're going to get results. I don't think L.B. was telling them the wrong things ... It was just a matter of how they responded to what he was saying or how he said it to them." O'Neal said Marbury and his teammates would've been better off had Brown not been run off after one season. "It wasn't until I met Phil [Jackson], and put my ego aside, and listened to what he had to say and understood it," O'Neal said. "So I think if those guys would have listened and had paid attention and understood, then they would have been better off." </div> http://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/k...ny-knicks-print
Easy for Shaq to say, he just won a championship, . Nah, but really he's right, Stephon should let his play talk, instead of his mouth.
