Cashing In On The Good Name Of Stephon Marbury
A former high school teammate of Stephon Marbury is selling an out of focus picture of his state championship ring. (Oh wait—he's selling the actual ring.) The price: $250,000. Yeah....good luck with that. [eBay]

Miserable Stephon Marbury Gives Thanks to Knicks by Ripping D'Antoni's Dog-Walking Skills
The Knicks are quietly stumbling toward legitimacy this season under Mike D'Antoni, but still can't seem to peacefully rid themselves of the one player who embodies their past failures, Stephon Marbury. D'Antoni even extended an olive branch toward Steph by offering him a starting job, but that didn't go well. Marbury not-so-respectfully declined and went to the New York Post to air his grievances. The most Starbury quote fingered D'Antoni as shady: "I wouldn't trust him to walk my dog across the street." More »

Stephon Marbury Doomed To Wander Knicks Sideline For All Eternity
Isiah Thomas established previously unprecedented levels of bizarro organizational management while running the New York Knicks, but just because he doesn't work there any more it doesn't mean the front office isn't still covered in crazy residue. Team president Donnie Walsh and new head coach Mike D'Antoni still know how to make people scratch their heads, as evidenced by their plan to make Stephon Marbury the highest paid towel boy in sports history.

Knicks Fans Love Affair With Mike D'Antoni Lasts Three Quarters
After what seemed like four decades of frustration with managerial incompetence, New York Knicks fans were finally liberated from the shackles of the Isiah Thomas Era and were rewarded with the free-wheeling Mike D'Antoni, a guy with actual playoff wins on his resume. Everything is going to be fine! They even won their first game! Too bad they couldn't make it through the entire thing without half the crowd turning on him and the coach responding by calling them all assholes. Only 81 more games to go! More »

Stephon Marbury Will Save The Knicks, Nurture Mother Earth
The quote machine that is Stephon Marbury sat down with News 4 New York's Bruce Beck in the backyard of Marbury's Westchester home earlier today and discussed his future with the New York Knicks. Marbury was trying to make the point that he's ready to be a steadying influence on the team, and not, you know, a wingnut. And he was succeeding, all the way to the point, about halfway through the interview, when a bee landed on him. Then things got weird. More »

Stephon Marbury's Time As Knick Is Not Officially Over — For Now
Even though it was widely speculated that Stephon Marbury would no longer be in New York this season, new Knicks prez Donnie Walsh says that the noggin-tatted point guard will be working out with the team and all of this talk of a buyout is completely false. Walsh said that speculation was completely initiated by the press and he's had one conversation with Marbury about his current status with the team and Stephon was "completely fine with it." So there. More »

Dark Side Of The Locker Room: Stephon Marbury Is Puzzled By My Godlessness
Being a sports reporter is, at times, an absolutely horrible job. Sure you get to watch games, travel and interact with athletes, but there is a horrendous downside. (Which is pretty much everything else.) And this is never more disturbingly clear than when a reporter has their first (or 50th) awful experience with a half-naked, exhausted athlete. Sometimes they'll be openly dismissive, sometimes they'll yell, and sometimes, well, they'll fart in your face. Most of these stories never end up in the newspaper the next day. So now, Deadspin proudly presents "The Dark Side of the Locker Room" where current and former sports writers can share some of their most distressing interactions. If you've got your own story to share, please send it along to ajd@deadspin.com.

Marbury's Head Tattoo Reveals Itself To The Cheap Sneaker-Hungry Masses
Here it is, in all of its brand-pate'n glory, with nary a photoshop magician in sight. Starbury took some time to speak with announcers about his new fashionable (and cheap!) head tat during the Cleveland Cavaliers/New York Knicks summer league game. It's probably as subtle as you can get for a head tattoo and it clearly shows that for all of his questionable, unhinged behavior of the past year, Marbury is still a very savvy businessman. It's completely logical. One person asks, "Hey, what's that funny symbol on your head?" and then you just nail them with the cheap sneakers pitch. Ka-ching. More »

The Knicks have lost intern-boinking virus Stephon Marbury for the rest of the season. Marbury, who had hoped to return this year after undergoing ankle surgery to remove bone spurs, will now be relegated to hopping around by himself, most likely in a pair of cheaply made (but very affordable) sneakers.

All Aboard The Marbury Express
Someone told us this morning that Stephon Marbury is basketball's version of "30 Rock"'s Tracy Jordan. This makes a lot of sense to us. You get a sense that, deep down, each is probably a good-hearted person, but they're so many different kinds of crazy that it doesn't even matter. And they're almost equally entertaining to watch; we can absolutely imagine Marbury saying," the government is putting AIDS in our chicken nuggets!" More »

So Stephon Marbury played for the Knicks on Wednesday — albeit $180,000 lighter in the wallet — saying "I'm positive all the way around. Whatever happened in the past is in the past." Damn it.

Marbury Wants You To Know That Only He Sells Cheapass Shoes
Considering he has testified under oath that he had sex with a Knicks intern in his car — and then helped get her a better job! — Stephon Marbury needs all the good PR he can get.

Anyway, it's clear he wants a monopoly on the cheap shoe business. More »

It's been a week or two since we checked in with the running joke that is the New York Knicks. As it turns out, it doesn't look like the dream pairing of Stephon Marbury and his "father figure" Isiah Thomas is going to function as seamlessly as we all thought it would.

The Surprising Sincerity of Stephon Marbury
We feel like you're expecting us to somehow poke fun at Knicks guard Stephon Marbury's emotional breakdown when discussing Hurricane Katrina, but we really can't. The guy was legitimately devastated, and he's also avoiding one of our pet peeves: Attaching charitable donations to some sort of athletic performance. Marbury is giving $500,000, straight up, to the victims of Katrina; Serena Williams has to hit some aces in the U.S. Open, which is going to be difficult considering she has already been eliminated. Sorry, victims: The spigot is now turned off. More »
