Marbury's bout to start snitchin...

I wrote this SLAM piece last night on the Death of the NYC Point Guard. It was my initial reaction to this Knicks-Zeke-Marbury saga. But this was before I knew that Marbury was trying to F'n BLACKMAIL Isaiah into letting him start. This dude basically said, "If you don't start me, I'm snitchin'." This is the biggest b**ch move ever, specifically from a dude that reps the BK and acts like he's That Dude.

Zeke's reaction, however, makes me wonder. He's saying homo things like how "this happens every Novemeber and then we kiss and make up." (And he says it in that soft-whisper of a voice, with his arched eyebrows and that effeminate smile, which is half-hilarious, half-oft-putting). Now we all know Isaiah to be an egomaniac and incredibly proud, maybe even haughty. Yet, he went as far as to say that he welcomes Steph back to the team -- after Steph basically said, "If you don't start me, I'm droppin dimes on everything from the time I saw you and Anucha role playing by the pool and she was bare-chested wearing your trunks and you were rockin' her bikini. Or the time I you and Mr. Dolan bumpin and grindin to "My Humps" It's all comin out if you actually have the balls to start Mardy friggin Collins over me." After all that, Isaiah is gonna welcome him back?!

This sounds conspicuously like appeasement to me.

OR...

Isaiah is behaving like an understanding father. I think this is what I'm going with, because ALL SUMMER, STEPH WAS ACTING LIKE A CERTIFIED BREAD BASKET!!! Have you seen the youtube clips of the television appearances he was making during the summer? he was speaking, behaving and thinking like someone either on drugs, medication or just off his rocker. And I think Isaiah really feels for the dude and is trying to work this situation with some maturity and empathy. Let's not forget, this isn't the first time that Steph said he had dirt on someone and was gonna spill beans. he said that after the Larry brown season. On the final day of the season, as he cleared his locker, he told the reporters to come back in a month and he'd give everybody "the real story". This never happened. I'm sure he has dirt on Zeke, just like I'm sure Zeke and all his teammates have dirt on Steph. All of my close friends have dirt on me and vice-versa. This shouldn't be news. But I guarantee nothing comes out. This is a cry for attention and, you know what, i think Isaiah is handling this well. I wouldn't be taking this stance if I didn't think Steph is going insane. The other day one of my nigs watched a youtube clip of Steph losing his mind and after watching it, my dude said "I just think he needs a father." I actually agreed with that. Steph needs someone to help him regain his sanity, because he's acting beyond erratic these days.
