Stephon Marbury News

Here's an excerpt: At 5 feet 9 inches and 150 pounds, Len does not imagine himself playing in the N.B.A. or even the N.C.A.A. tournament; he matches his local role model, Nate Robinson of the Knicks, in height and hustle but, alas, cannot replicate his remarkable 43 A1 2-inch vertical leap.

Nate Robinson, high-fiving Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden, enjoys attention - even if the way he gets it isn't best for his team.

Speaking of the future of the Knicks, what about David Lee and Nate Robinson? Depending on who you ask, the two are building blocks for the post-Bron future or overrated players who the team was smart to sign to one-year deals.

LEN CHENFELD is a bright, unimposing high school senior with the slightly spotty skin of a hormone-challenged teenager and the crystalline agenda of a Zen master: a Zen master addicted to basketball.

Nate Robinson is this year's Stephon Marbury. The owner doesn't like him, the coach doesn't want to play him and his contract, much like his days in a Knicks uniform, are about to expire.

Who says the NBA can't have bowl games? Today at the New Jersey Nets' own arena, the franchise reached an incredible milestone.

Pistons fans can only chuckle at the ongoing interest in Allen Iverson. The Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies castoff appears headed to the New York Knicks now.

Stop in New York could come to pass for Allen Iverson, as former MVP is free agent, and Knicks are working phones to find out if controversial guard is right fit.

There was a time, not even all that long ago, when you could talk about this city as the "Mecca" of basketball and not have it sound like some kind of punch line.

New York Knicks president Donnie Walsh said there was "no time frame" on a decision on whether to sign free-agent guard Allen Iverson , 34.

Michael Curry was walking down the sideline of an empty arena, and was asking the question to a reporter he knew from his days in Toronto.

There is a respectable sort, the kind where a bad team is so hungry that it will sort through someone elsea TMs trash in hopes of finding a moldy piece of cheese or stale roll that may not be pretty but still has some sort of nutritional value.

Well, it's nice to see former New York Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury, always classy and dignified, is keeping his chin high and remaining a beacon of forgiveness and warmth when it comes to his old team dumping him.

The Warriors apparently made it through their shootaround Friday without any shouting matches.

When this season started, all the Knicks were back from last year. They had with a full training camp together under their respective belts, not to mention a healthy Danilo Galliari, and two promising rookies in Jordan Hill and Toney Douglas.
