It seems that former Boston Celtics point guard Stephon Marbury will “shut everything down” for the 2009-10 season, but is expected to make a return for the 2010-11 season, reports the “New York Post.” Marbury played with the Celtics last season and was okay.
He has been through many mix-ups with the New York Knicks which made him go into free agency as he was eventually signed by the team that won the NBA Finals just not too long ago. During the off-season, Marbury declined the offer the C’s made to him, which was $1.3M, and decided to explore any other teams that would sign him and give him more money.
Marbury then started to make his own shows on outlets like Ustream and Justin.TV. He made a Barbie Girl dance, which was sort of…disturbing. But not as disturbing as his video of eating Vaseline. He was pretty much just whacked, drunk, or high somehow during the making of those and made himself look like the biggest idiot on the Internet.
“I’m resting, doing what Michael Jordan did, enjoy life, do things I haven’t done in 16 years, keep building my empire,” Marbury said, according to the Post. “I wasn’t going to Boston for that money. It was a prudent business decision to take off this year.”
Business decision, eh? I don’t know what Marbury is going to do, but let’s hope he doesn’t start investing into things like Ustream or Justin, it’d be very messed up. Hey, why not BlogTalkRadio? Mypodcast.com? This may be very interesting.
But back to the off-season with Stephon. Like I said, not so many teams had interest in him. He then later announced he would want to sign with a playoff contender. Then, probably about three teams-to-none was going to have a chance at signing him.
Marbury was then later surprised that the Knicks had interest in him! But Stephon said he would never go there and things have not been forgotten, or forgiven, between the two sides.
“I’m just talking as a fan and New Yorker who grew up loving the Knicks: Why would I give you my money to watch them?” Marbury said, according to the Post. “This is atrocious. Guys coming down court, just raising up 3-pointers from anywhere. The coaching is horrible. What kind of coaching is this?”
Wow. But anyways, I wish a lot of luck to you Stephon.
You’re definitely going to need it.
And I’m dead serious right there.
