New York Knicks Tickets ý Far From Starbury
Oh how the mighty have fallen. It was just a few years ago that former team president Isiah Thomas was heralded throughout Manhattan for brining Coney Islandýs own Stephon Marbury home to play point guard for the New York Knicks. Fast forward to today, and Marbury is no longer viewed as a prodigal son of The City That Never Sleeps; heýs viewed by most Knicks fans as a team cancer that needs to be permanently removed from the basketball Mecca that is Madison Square Garden.
Morgan C. Dunn wrote this article, which was sponsored by StubHub, one of the finest places in the entire world wide web to get New York Knicks tickets, concert tickets, theatre tickets, special events tickets, or almost any kind of sports ticket out there.
Marbury was part of the wave of famous New York City point guards that set the country on fire in high school. He went on to star at Georgia Tech and was the fourth overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft. Everything seemed to be in place for Marbury to be the superstar that so many people had assumed he would become. But each time Marbury found a new destination in the NBA, losing followed. He began to gain the reputation of being a selfish guy and a bad teammate. Still, when he joined the Knicks in 2003 people saw it as a chance for Marbury to make good on all that promise, in the city in which he grew up no less.
But things have not gone swimmingly in New York for the point guard. The Knicks have failed to make the playoffs every season except Marburyýs first with the team, and heýs feuded with every coach management has brought in. Marbury was unable to accept the teachings of Larry Brown, who helped Allen Iverson and Chauncey Billups take their game to a championship level and he turned on his biggest supporter, Isiah Thomas, after Thomas had taken on coaching responsibilities.
But everything seemed to be smoothing over this preseason. New head coach Mike DýAntoni was playing Marbury significant minutes in exhibition contests and Marbury seemed to be accepting a role coming off the bench. Come opening night, though, Marbury did not see the floor, with guys like Mardy Collins getting minutes over the former star player. In the second game of the season, no Marbury. The third? Marbury did not even dress.
This turn of events sparked a meeting between Marbury, DýAntoni and team president Donnie Walsh. Many expected the meeting of the minds to result in one of two things, either Marbury being waived or being granted some sort of role in the rotation. Neither happened and the word out of The Big Apple is that the Knicks will continue to sit Marbury for the remainder of the season as he collects nearly $21.8 million.
I personally believe that Marbury should be waived, but perhaps the Knicksý regime is hoping he wonýt be able to take the punishment and will eventually accept some sort of buyout agreement. Itýs clear that nobody wants Marbury around in New York, not the fans, not his teammates, not team management. His presence cannot help the team in this capacity; that is for sure, and the Knicks certainly donýt need anything dragging them down this season. Things are looking up in MSG with DýAntoni and Walsh at the helm and New York Knicks tickets are beginning to regain their luster, but if anything can bring this whole thing down itýs a disgruntled bench player that makes approximately ten times as much money as Nate Robinson.
