We never really hit up on the Stephon Marbury TV appearance that Sam posted over at SLAM.
This was mainly because we barely post anymore, but also because we didn’t think he was all that crazy in it. Maybe we were overhyped for it – dunno.
Anyway, that was only a hint of what was to come. Starbury is blogging for the NY Post, and the only thing we can assume is that he suffering 2-year post Larry Brown traumatic stress disorder or something.
Dude now says he wants to go play in Italy, and do for basketball over there what David Beckham is doing for soccer here. (Apparently he wants people to disregard basketball as dumb and then stare at his wife’s body. Weird, but whatever. We love ambitious people.)
Steph on the virtues of Italy.
Tuscany was fly. The architecture and designs were incredible. I call Florence the shoe capital. Wifey and I did the 50-cent window shopper.
After that we went to Venice. We strolled with the “Gondola man” singing and pushing the boat. They told me 400 people take classes to steer them and only 100 people pass. I fell in love with wifey all over again. We took the boat to the casino.
Everything is on water. You have to take taxi boats. It was set-up like the movie Casino Royale, one of my favorite flicks. We ended our trip to Rome. We went to Pentium and the Coloseum. The high note was our visit to the Sistine Chapel. It is incredible. You walk in one door and out the other and you become free in mind, body and spirit. That’s when I knew I was free. I flew home a free man and my life got turned around.
We’re not sure if that was a blog entry or the talkie part of a mid-90s Boyz II Men song, but we’re 100% sure we’re not gonna call our future spouse “Wifey” in public nor in private. (Okay, maybe in private. Once.)
Also, if you haven’t been following, that’s the 37th time in the past 2 years that Starbury has “become free” and/or “turned his life around”.
The best part might actually be the first comment (from the comments section, where they make comments).
Cocaine is a helluva drug. You’re so far gone, it’s hopeless. Scientologists wouldn’t accept you because you’re too crazy, even for them. While you’re over there, maybe the Pope will finally make you a Saint. Arrivederci Looney Tunes.
All in all, this is a quality turn for Stephon Marbury. Maybe it’s all orchestrated, maybe he’s on drugs, or maybe…just maybe…just maybe…he’s been crazy all along. Don’t forget, this is the guy who created flexing juice cards.
(Ouch – those pics were lost in the great server move of 2006. Oh well, you’ll see them juice cards again. Promise.)
One other thing we noted on the R Kelly video, and this is from the video itself – why is the dude checking in the dresser at all? Isn’t he looking for a person? Like a human being? Inside a dresser? If you think we’re not having a WSM? commentary track just like this one, you’re nuts.

“FLEXING” in this instance is similar to the usage in “flexing muscles,” wherein an individual demonstrates a certain quality or sentiment…the term “JUICE” implies a high degree of clout and prestige, as shown remarkably in the 1992 film JUICE…The term “CARD” does not denote a physical collectible but rather a figurative expression along the lines of “playing the race card,” meaning to draw attention to a specific characteristic for manipulation, therefore to “FLEX A REAL HARD JUICE CARD” Larry Brown demonstrates his clout, a definite characteristic for manipulation, which coincides with Marbury’s admission that “he definitely made me aware of what he can do. But that doesn’t scare me at all.†Ultimately, Larry Brown uses his high position as a threat/warning to rebelling insubordinates (i.e. STARBURY )
Duh, the guy looked in the ‘dresser’ because R. Kelley had to have something that rhymed with ‘Baretta’.
Which came first, the dresser or the baretta? It’s like a proverb.
Tuscany was fly.
AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!
The Crazy came first.
I call his bluff!(Check the article at http://www.clutch3.com) This guy is going nowhere. This was a huge publicity stunt, and it will blow over in 2 years. At that time, he’ll be looking for an NBA contract. Would he even be the best player over their? It’s such a different style of game.
