| Re: Isiah, Stephon, and the Knicks soap opera
Apparently the rest of the Knicks didn't take too kindly to Starbury going AWOL on them: Quote:
When Isiah Thomas dispatched Jamal Crawford to find out how the players would react if and when Marbury rejoined the team, all of them voted against allowing him to play. Thomas, according to one person who spoke with Crawford, had pledged to hold out Marbury if even a single Knick didn’t want him on the court.
So how did Thomas react to the team’s unanimous vote?
He sat Marbury until late in the first quarter then played him nearly 34 of the game’s remaining 39 minutes.
