Marbury walks out on Knicks

Quote:

PHOENIX (AP) -- Stephon Marbury has left the New York Knicks and there is no word on when, or even if, he might rejoin the team.

Marbury was absent from the team's morning shootaround, and failed to show up when the Knicks played the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.

Coach Isiah Thomas would only confirm Marbury had left and that the guard would be welcome back.

"That is an in-house matter, and we'll continue to keep it in-house," Thomas said after the shootaround. "However, he is welcome back, and we want him as a member of this team."

Did I ever mention the fact of how horrible of a coach Isiah is? No discipline and he commands no respect, not to mention his own sick legal problems with the law.

What is it going to take to get this guy fired? It's pathetic he is still coaching, I would can him now.

Wow, how exactly is this Isiah's fault ?

He told Marbury that if he didnt start stepping up his D then he would be benched. Marbury pouts and leaves the team, once again how is that Isiahs fault ?

He was doing whats best for the team by benching Steph.

Well you don't see too many players walking out on their coaches....He has no control of the lockeroom obviously and his players.

Last time I looked whenever someone get benched, they don't walk out on their team well unless your coach/team is pathetic

So you must agree with me....

This is clearly the low point in the history of the New York Knicks. Put the past behind them and release this terrible staff.

This is 100% on Starbury. He's been a selfish joke of an athlete who once got a huge contract but couldn't ever justify it. His teams never win and no one is better for him being on the club.

He gets fine personal numbers, but he can't win and never will.

Thank you

Please name a lower point in the Knick franchise history?

What is going RIGHT for the Knicks now? You've been saying how much talent they have....and Isiah is not to blame....So umm, then whats the problem?

How can you deny that they have talent ? If you dont think they have talent then you do not know basketball, plain and simple

Whether the talent can gell together is awhole nother problem.

A lower era ? How about when we sucked and had the likes of Howard Eisley, Shannan Anderson and those scrubs on our team ? Atleast now we have the talent its just amatter of finding the right mix and getting them to gell. Maybe that happens this season maybe not but we have talent so we have been in much worse shape than this

I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
