What a summer it’s been for Stephon Marbury. He’s everywhere. The media can’t get enough of him. Just when you think he can’t get any crazier, he hits you with something new that makes you shake your head in astonishment.
I decided to take a look back at the most shocking Stephon Marbury quotes from recent years:
Dec 31st, 2002
When asked to compare Suns rookie Amare Stoudemire (teammate at the time) to Minnesota's Kevin Garnett (former teammate) when Garnett was 20 years old, here’s what Stephon had to say:
"It's not even close," Marbury said. "He doesn't even compare to Amare. It's two different people. It's like Michael Jordan and Mario Elie. It's not even close."
Perhaps Stephon needs to see the “From Courtside” All Time High School All American Team
Jan 1st, 2005
When Stephon was asked to compare himself to Jason Kidd, Stephon felt like it was time to let his opinions be known:
"I'm telling you what it is: I know I'm the best point guard in the NBA. I don't need anybody else to tell me that.”
Don’t hold back
November 26, 2005
Following a regular season Knicks win, Stephon was asked about Channing Frye. In typical Stephon fashion, he decided to go all out with his praise:
“I call him the Young One. I think Channing's going to be like Tim Duncan in the next three or four or five years. Once he gets the feel of the N.B.A. game, which will probably be in, like, February, early March, that's when I think he'll take off."
It’s now October, 2007 – I’m waiting…
Aug. 22nd, 2007
While in Albany promoting his $15 sneakers, Steph was asked about his thoughts on the Michael Vick case:
“From what I hear, dog-fighting is a sport”
An extra year at Georgia Tech wouldn’t have been the worst idea.

The Amare quote was legendary especially considering they almost were traded for each other.
Phoenix was trying to upgrade and give up a player 7 yrs younger, that speaks volumes.

Steph just says whatever he's thinking.
When you're a 12 year old kid and people will do whatever you say, you dont learn right from wrong. That explains why Steph is the person he is.
