Yes, it is characteristic of many fans that they are always happy with every personnel move their team makes, no matter how much they have to contradict themselves in order to be that way.
I never said that the current team would be as good with Marbury as with Nash. Nash is a much better shooter and a more creative playmaker. However, when Marbury was on the Suns, many people realized that his the "selfish" label he's been saddled with is unfair. I still believe that.
This is baloney,,,,,,,,,,,,

It may be characteristic of you elindholm, but it is not characteristic of me!!!!
And I do not appreciate you saying this!!

The reason I can say I am happy when Marbury came to the suns and happy when he left is...........
The first year he was here I thought he played great, distributed the ball and was shooting great. The next year it appeared he had reverted back to being selfish. If "you" watched the games the 2nd year, he actually refused to give the ball to Amare many times even when Amare ran the floor and got in position to the receive the ball. I used to watch and scream at him on tv and could not understand this plus, he almost always went the wrong way on the screen, it was maddening to watch. He held the ball and dribbled way to much, and He would not pass the ball and give it up on the fast break like he could have, instead trying to make the play himself.
I was watching the game and realized just how selfish he had became one night when a friend of mine said why don't the coaches tell him how to play the pick and roll and go the right way..............it finally dawned on me it was not the coaches fault, it was Marburys fault. He played the way he wanted and to damn with the others. It was so obvious to me after that and it was upsetting to watch him play with the suns.
I have tried to watch the Knicks games this year when they are on tv and sometimes Marbury has a great game and the Knicks win, and then again in some games he reverts to his old self and to hell with the others just to make himself be the most important player on the team. Marbury is not a team player and will never be. Marbury reminds me of Antoine Walker, he can be a great player, but chooses not to be.
I find the poll we had recently about the choice between KJ and Marbury interesting. If the poll had been Nash and Marbury, the one vote for Marbury probably would not have been there.
I do not wish bad things on Marbury, but am glad he is not playing for the suns.
