The Knicks inspire death

The further Stephon Marbury and Larry Brown get from each other, the more obvious it is they’re destined to be together.
Yesterday both men made statements regarding their respective futures in NYC, with Steph saying he wants to die a Knick, and Larry stating he feels like a dead man walking.
“If I ever was to be cremated, I’d want my ashes sprinkled on top of the Garden,” Marbury also told the newspaper. “Playing here has always been my dream. I want to be in New York more than any place.”
“I feel like a dead man walking,” Brown said yesterday. “As many questions as you have, I have. And I have no answers.”
This isn’t the first time things like this have come out of the New York basketball playing organization - remember when Franchise said the only thing worse than playing for the Knicks was when his mom died?
As much fun as this whole thing with Isiah taking over could be, we’d actually like it more now if ownership kept Larry on, when he clearly wants to go. This is a huge game of chicken, is what it is - let it play itself out.
Of course, as far as the Knicks are concerned, none of this is going on at all, so screw them.
btw we’re currently on five instant messages talking about Mike D’Antoni - the longest anyone has lasted keeping on topic is two sentences. Sign on to AOL and see if you can break the record!
rubbernecking at the knicks fiasco is one of my guilty pleasures. i should be paying attention to the eastern conference finals, but i’d rather read about stephon, larry, and isiah. i’m a bad nba fan for thinking that a personell disaster is more fascinating than the pistons’ playoff meltdown.
Well tomorrow morning you may have it all, as you get the Pistons loss morphing into their own personell disaster.
I bet by tomorrow you’ll hear Isiah Thomas telling reporters he’s already dead, thus exsplaining the Knick’s current, shitty roster.
…or that he wishes he was dead.
