ESPN Lets Stephon Marbury Type To The People

This had all the makings of an epic conversation, but instead it turned out to be slightly more entertaining than a live chat talking about fantasy water polo with Tristan Cockroft.

Marbury, seemingly trapped in permanent exile from the Knicks, is doing everything possible to get the word out that he's available, can still play, wants to leave the Knicks, and wants to get paid. Oh, and wants be on a contender. Oh, and wants to promote Starbury. Unless there was some major editing done to the chat, I'm sure ESPN is also a little disappointed that Stephon didn't do anything too wacky during his allotted SportsNation chat room time:

Derek (Tucson, Az): If you were asked today to return to knicks and play for them. Would you play?

SportsNation Stephon Marbury: (4:44 PM ET ) They chose their direction and I am trying to move on and end the relationship, becasue D'Antoni wanted the relationship ended from the start of the year.

Jason (Philly): What was the general attitude in the locker room towards Isaih?

SportsNation Stephon Marbury: (4:43 PM ET ) I guess guys saved face.

JB ( Raleigh, Nc): What is the proudest moment in your basketball career?

SportsNation Stephon Marbury: (4:45 PM ET ) I have two: 1) My high school championship and 2) Getting drafted.

You would think having sex with an MSG intern in the back of an SUV would have made the list.
