Stephon Marbury is taking a vow of silence.
http://www.nypost.com/seven/12182007/sports/knicks/guarantee_that_wasnt_spurs_indy_313323.htm
After speaking at length with a few writers following his Sunday practice,
Marbury asked a Knicks PR official if he could skip speaking to media indefinitely to help him better cope with the loss of his father. The NBA has no problems with Marbury's request.
Marbury told the Knicks official he would reevaluate tomorrow whether he was ready to face the press again.
Marbury's 15-minute, brutally honest interview Sunday in which he admitted retirement crossed his mind made him relive all the feelings again and distracted his focus. He said the challenge of playing is as tough as being asked about the tragedy.
"For me the difficult part is I have to grieve in public," Marbury said. "It's harder for me as opposed to my brothers, sisters and mother."
Obviously this guy has a lot of personal issues and has lost a lot of his drive and his Coach, team-mates and fans have tuned out on him.What do you think he should do? I think he should take the season off, get his house in order and come back next year and contribute.It would be a pity for him to retire but he obviously dooesnt have his heart in it.
