At first, I thought, he's got to be on something here, then I thought, no wait- I've seen "Stars on Stars", he's just borderline ********.

Sounds like his heart in the right place, but he's a complete and utter wacko.

He sounds ridiculous on "Stars on Stars," but not like this. He is definitely on something here.

Artest wacko or something closer to Doug Moe wacko? There are many levels of wacko in the NBA. Extreme wacko is beating up the fans. Low-level wacko means you wear fish ties and spend more time eye-balling some fan's beer and hot dog than watching the game. Don Nelson is low-level wacko. In fact, I hereby pronounce Don Nelson the 2007 recipient of the Honorary Doug Moe Interview Award for bringing a can of Bud Light to a nationally-televised post-game interview.

And drinking it in between quotes.

Super Extreme NBA wacko would be anyone who's ever shot someone in their house (accidentally or otherwise), or been charged with the contracted murder of their girlfriend and unborn child. Mid-level NBA wacko might be a former player with a nickname like "Cornbread" who, while broadcasting a game, tells a female ref to, "Get back in the kitchen and fix me some bacon and eggs!" Somewhere on the lesser side of mid-level NBA wacko might be any Avery Johnson post-game interview.

Or maybe just watching Avery's Napolean-like antics on the sideline.

Steph had a few crazy interviews with the Suns but nothing like this. I remember an interview after the Suns beat the Spurs and he kept repeating how the Suns had to take it to another level, it was hilarious...

"We need to take it up another level to win this series. Then after that, we need to take it up another level, and then 3 more levels above that, followed by 10 more levels. Then after that, we need to take it up another level."

And this is why you aren't making $20 Million a year.

Clearly these two things are related :p

Hell if I was making 20 million a year, my wife would probably let me call her anything I wanted to.

I don't think anyone has ever claimed the Colangelo's (either of them) to be cheap. That would be a very foolish thing to say just by looking at their history.

Before Colangelo owned the team, he was the scourge of Phoenix and considered to be miserly. He was just handicapped by ownership ... Eller, Diamond, and the rest of the Tucson/Dial crew. I think it was one of the reasons he spent so freely as a general partner: He had to rescue his reputation.

Wow. That interview was odd. There is no doubt that he had to be on something in this interview. It was almost creepy.

Stephon Marbury reminds me of Ray Charles. If you didn't know anything about Ray, you'd look at him and say, "What the heck is that guy doing? He looks rediculous with his arms folded all stiff and his ear to ear weirdo smile!" But because he was blind, he never got a chance to look in the mirror (since he was a very young kid). So he really had no idea how goofy he looked.

With Stephon Marbury, it is very similar. He seems like a very well-meaning, compassionate person, but in any interview I've seen of him, whenever a reporter even brushes up against a subject that Steph might not like, Steph just says, "I'm not answering that," and I've never seen him pressed on it. In this interview, the interviewer wants to play a fun game with him where Steph is supposed to answer quickly, Steph won't even consider it. When the interviewer says, "OK fine, in 15 seconds or less" Steph still won't even let the guy finish his sentence before he says, "No way, I'm not answering that."

It seems to me like Marbury completely shuns any and all criticism. Actually, it's not even that he shuns criticism - he shuns even the implication of criticism or the suggestion that criticism may be coming! So the guy has no mirror, no one to check him and say, "Dude, what the ef are you talking about? You sound rediculous. I literally have no idea what you are talking about."
