Stephon Marbury is the righteous, and you are the tyranny of evil men

Why we haven’t been paying as much attention to the Isiah Thomas trial is beyond me. I think it might have something to do with overall fatigue, or something, but that’s just an excuse. Because there has been way too much blogworthy material for us not to have devoured at least some of it.

Anyway, even after an $11 million+ settlement, the thing is still kicking. Stephon Marbury — whose inclusion in the whole thing really had to be the kicker for MSG — thinks he sees Jesus, just like Gino before him.

“One, it happened three years ago,” Marbury said. “It’s my personal business. People shouldn’t snoop around your porch when they need to snoop around theirs. Everybody has skeletons in their closet. No one sin is greater than the other. So nobody can judge me and I can’t judge anybody else. I can’t get mad at how you feel about me. That’s how you feel. How can I get mad at that?”

Marbury added, “Nobody’s perfect and I’m not the same person I was three years ago. I can’t try to convince anyone of that when people are writing things about you and they don’t even know you.

“I’m never going to control how someone feels. You have to continue to try to live a righteous life, try to be as positive as you can and not live in a negative state of mind.”

Far be it from me to criticize a man for trying to live a righteous life. However you define “righteous” (whether it’s the way Jules in Pulp Fiction quoted it or not), that’s a noteworthy goal. I’m just not sure stuffing interns in the back of a truck is the best way to go about it, that’s all.
