I have never liked Stephon Marbury on the basketball court. All of this teams seem to get better once he leaves(TWolves, Nets,Suns), his ego always rubbed me the wrong way after he left KG and I partially blamed him for Team USA's 2004 Olympic failure in Greece.
However, I am starting to warm up to Stephon. Off the court, Starbury has been bringing it lately. He came out with a line of basketball shoes that retail for only 15 dollars a pair, which has been a huge cost savior for middle and lower income families. His shoes help release some of the financial burden and pressure of paying 150-200 dollars for the "in" pair of basketball shoes. He seems to really care about where he came from and is highly involved in his community.
Starbury has been hosting a TV show called, "Stars on Stars," which has received positive reviews and he was downright hilarious in this recent TV interview.
Agent Zero better watch his back because Starbury has been straight up Blogging for the NYPost. I have no clue what he is talking about most of the time, nerveless, they have been highly entertaining and insightful. He caused a media stir by declaring on a blog post his desire to retire playing hoops in Italy after winning a title for the Knicks.
He goes after MJ and rips on Lebron. Here are some my favorite comments from his blog.
- The tour is going great. While we were in Virginia and B-more, we went to the Barry Farms streetball tournament in DC. It was crazy.The kid 720 with the crazy hops was there and dudes like "AO'' who used to be down with And 1. They were all rockin' Starbury gear. Starbury is locking down the streetball game too. I forgot to tell you that when Mayor Bloomberg left the meeting with me, he was wearing $14.98 Starburys.
- After that we went to Venice. We strolled with the "Gondola man'' singing and pushing the boat. They told me 400 people take classes to steer them and only 100 people pass. I fell in love with wifey all over again. We took the boat to the casino. Everything is on water. You have to take taxi boats. It was set-up like the movie Casino Royale, one of my favorite flicks. We ended our trip to Rome. We went to Pentium and the Coloseum. The high note was our visit to the Sistine Chapel. It is incredible. You walk in one door and out the other and you become free in mind, body and spirit. That's when I knew I was free. I flew home a free man and my life got turned around.
- That's why I want to go back to Italy after winning the championship with the Knicks.
- My whole life I have wanted to do what Michael Jordan has done on the basketball court. But just on the basketball court. I have not tried to be like him off the court. I have a different vision for who I want to be off the court and the life I want to create to help change the world.
- There is nothing greater than to be able to touch people, especially kids cause their spirits are a true reflection of God. The kids today said they don't never see LeBron or any athletes come around.
That made me smile. That's why we're there. - You want to make me the clown…I’m not the dude on the ESPYs, getting carried on a throne. I’m not him. I’m the good guy, not the bad guy. I don’t want to be carried on the throne…I just want to walk among the people.
I can only love y'all for hating me. But transfer hate into love, then you can help others. - I do have one admission. I am high, high off of life.
I drink life’s happy water which is bottled at the divine source.
It goes down much smoother than "haterade.''. How does "haterade'' really taste? - I AIN’T NEVER SCARED
I’M EVERYWHERE
YOU AIN’T NEVER THERE
WHY WOULD I EVER CARE
POUND FOR POUND I’M THE BEST TO EVER COME AROUND HERE
EXCLUDING NOBODY
LOOK WHAT I EMBODY
THE SOUL OF A HUSTLER I REALLY RAN THE STREET
A CEO’S MIND THAT MARKETING PLAN WAS ME
ADD THAT TO THE FACT I WENT PLAT A BUNCH OF TIMES
TIMES THAT BY MY INFLUENCE ON POP CULTURE
I SUPPOSED TO BE #1 ON EVERYBODY LIST
WE’LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I NO LONGER EXIST
