Stephon Marbury: Staying Sane

The Stephon Marbury saga, spanning from 03-04 to 07-08 looks like it will finally come to and end. During that period of time we've been treated to many highly entertaining Steph moments. Such as:

1. Showing up to Mike'd up on pcp. Hilarity ensues.
2. Talking about preparing for the upcoming NBA season by running in the mountains.
3. Claiming he has dirt on Isiah.
4. Running Larry Brown out of town while simultaneously running the Knicks into the ground.
5. Doing things in vans to interns.
6. Acting flat out crazy.

The list goes on and on. Unfortunately for some, it seems as if Stephon has finally learned how to control his insanity. When Mike D'antoni decided to bench Stephon, the media decided to blow up the story. Stephon has been pressed about how he feels about the situation, asked the same questions over and over, and yet, the media still hasn't gotten the flat out insane response its been dying for. The same people who helped Stephon look like a maniac, are now going insane waiting for him to crack.

Instead monitoring Stephon round the clock, what the media should really be doing is pressing hardcore gangster Tony Battie. During the Bulls vs Magic game, it came very apparent that my new hero, Andres Nocioni, was pissing off everyone on the Magic. He kicked Rashard Lewis in the groin, landed a hard foul on Keyon Dooling, Dwight Howard and Hedo Turkowhatever. Each of them tried to do their ego's justice by "stepping up" to Andres, who simply smiled and laughed. Clearly Andres was just playing the game with toughness, while the pansy's on the magic took it personally. Of course, Tony Battie would have none of this. After Andres drove in on Rashard hit the lay up and got an opportunity for a three point play, Andres let out a huge roar. Tony Battie realized his groups gangsterness was on the line, so what does he do? He approaches Andres, bumps him, and mumbles something. Andres flat out ignored him and walked to the free throw line. Bravery at its finest. Battie looks like an over sized Orc, and Orcs are generally big i assume. Furthermore, Tony Battie is shooting 36% and averaging 2 points per game. The dudes 6'11. Whys he playing so bad you ask? Cause' he's busy running the hood for the magic. He has no time for "basketball". If I were the media, i'd focus more on this shady character Battie and what he does "off the court". Waiting for Stephon to revert to insanity is just a waste of time.
