You obviously do not follow the NBA off the court programs, because Marbury has always been a big contributer to them. When He was with Phoenix he had several charities that he routinely did work for, giving money and helping with fundraisers.

Steph is a stand-up guy.

He's only been in trouble off the court one time, a 2002 arrest for driving under the influence. Instead of trying to get off on his celebrity or claiming injustice, he plead guilty and served the same sentence that any person would have.

When the Suns traded for Barbosa, Steph went out with him, since Barbosa couldn't speak English and acted as a mediary for him. Steph also purchased a n Escalade for the new guard and just took him under his wing on the court. He was such a close friend that when Steph was trade mid-way through Barbosa's rookie year, the rook cried and dedicated his next game to Marbury, then promtly went out and posted career highs.

Just this past year when Jerry Colangelo went under the knife for prostate cancer, Steph called to give his best to JC. Despite JC being the one who traded him just 7 months prior.


He's always had a heart and has used it well. Maybe you should open yours. At the very least, open your eyes so you can make informed remarks...
