Star Bounced

Stephon Marbury should be a superstar. Unfortunately, he is arrogant, egotistical, insufferable, pompous, and smug.

On Tuesday, the New York Knicks released Marbury. “A comprehensive agreement was made this afternoon between the New York Knicks and Stephon Marbury,” said the Knicks. “Under its terms, the grievance has been resolved and the Knicks have requested waivers on Stephon. No additional terms will be disclosed.”

During his career, Marbury registered 19.7 points and 7.8 assists per contest. He has tallied eight nineteen-plus point seasons. He has also logged nine eight-plus assist seasons.

The Knicks vs. Marbury. In this convoluted catharsis, there were no winners. There were no losers. They were both jerks. Thankfully, the jerks have separated.
