Oh how the mighty have fallen. It was just a few years ago that former team president Isiah Thomas was heralded throughout Manhattan for brining Coney Island’s own Stephon Marbury home to play point guard for the New York Knicks. Fast forward to today, and Marbury is no longer viewed as a prodigal son of The City That Never Sleeps; he’s viewed by most Knicks fans as a team cancer that needs to be permanently removed from the basketball Mecca that is Madison Square Garden.

Marbury was part of the wave of famous New York City point guards that set the country on fire in high school. He went on to star at Georgia Tech and was the fourth overall pick in the 1996 NBA Draft. Everything seemed to be in place for Marbury to be the superstar that so many people had assumed he would become. But each time Marbury found a new destination in the NBA, losing followed. He began to gain the reputation of being a selfish guy and a bad teammate. Still, when he joined the Knicks in 2003 people saw it as a chance for Marbury to make good on all that promise, in the city in which he grew up no less.

But things have not gone swimmingly in New York for the point guard. The Knicks have failed to make the playoffs every season except Marbury’s first with the team, and he’s feuded with every coach management has brought in. Marbury was unable to accept the teachings of Larry Brown, who helped Allen Iverson and Chauncey Billups take their game to a championship level and he turned on his biggest supporter, Isiah Thomas, after Thomas had taken on coaching responsibilities.

But everything seemed to be smoothing over this preseason. New head coach Mike D’Antoni was playing Marbury significant minutes in exhibition contests and Marbury seemed to be accepting a role coming off the bench. Come opening night, though, Marbury did not see the floor, with guys like Mardy Collins getting minutes over the former star player. In the second game of the season, no Marbury. The third? Marbury did not even dress.

This turn of events sparked a meeting between Marbury, D’Antoni and team president Donnie Walsh. Many expected the meeting of the minds to result in one of two things, either Marbury being waived or being granted some sort of role in the rotation. Neither happened and the word out of The Big Apple is that the Knicks will continue to sit Marbury for the remainder of the season as he collects nearly $21.8 million.

I personally believe that Marbury should be waived, but perhaps the Knicks’ regime is hoping he won’t be able to take the punishment and will eventually accept some sort of buyout agreement. It’s clear that nobody wants Marbury around in New York, not the fans, not his teammates, not team management. His presence cannot help the team in this capacity; that is for sure, and the Knicks certainly don’t need anything dragging them down this season. Things are looking up in MSG with D’Antoni and Walsh at the helm and New York Knicks tickets are beginning to regain their luster, but if anything can bring this whole thing down it’s a disgruntled bench player that makes approximately ten times as much money as Nate Robinson.

Thinking of taking a trip over the Atlantic to the US of A but worried about the cost of flying over, budget airline Ryanair are introducing flights from as little as £8 plus taxes which could be available before the end of next year. The move comes as the airline dangerously floats closer to collapsing after releasing profits had plummeted by half already.

So to make the most out of your transatlantic trip, you should book ahead of summer rush and secure your holiday before anyone else does. As a precaution, try to book using a credit card as if you pay using a debit card you will be unable to claim your money back if the airline collapses.

Plan ahead, it is the best way to save money, try searching for your hotels now online and trips that you may want to go on.

One of the more popular destinations in America is and has always been New York City – the big apple, with its concrete jungle and lively community day and night; it is a unique city that never sleeps. You can visit a number of sporting and entertainment venues such as the famous Broadway theatres, Madison Square Garden, New York Knicks basketball team to the Shea stadium to see the Mets.

New York has great sights if you want to take advantage Ryanair’s cheap flights from the Empire State Building to the Statue of Liberty.

So if you are thinking about making a trip, now is definitely the time to plan and book it.

Ray asked:


In case you haven’t heard he left the Knicks and flew back to New York while they were in Phoenix to play the Suns because Isiah Thomas wanted to take him out of the starting lineup. I had it up to here with him! He’s selfish, childish, and isn’t even a true point guard! The Knicks need to dump him asap. What do u guys think?

Chris Limburg asked:


There are as many differences as there are similarities between the cities of Oakland and New York.  You’d never confuse one for the other, but both are known for passionate hard workers in there own way.  Just as with the fans of the Raiders and Knicks are different, but similar.  The Raiders fans in all their studded leather screaming obscenities at the other team and the Knicks fans in their business suits yelling obscenities at, well anyone.  Both teams’ fans are among the most loyal and passionate in all of sports.  Unfortunately for them both the similarities don’t end there.

 The Raiders once dominated the NFL with titles in 1983, 1980, 1976 and countless playoff appearances.  The Knicks a bit earlier won titles in 1973 and 1970 while being a playoff regular.  Both made brief runs back near the top with the Raiders getting blown out in the 2002 Super Bowl and the Knicks losing in the NBA Championship Series in 1999 and 1994.  Now however, both teams are among the most disgraced in their league.  The Raiders have not even been back to the playoffs since their 2002 Super Bowl embarrassment and the Knicks haven’t been back since a 1st round loss in 2001. 

 It goes beyond losing though.  Long-term success is built through the draft and smart trades.  Going all the way back to 1995 the Knicks have drafted a total of 3 players that have done anything in the league.  David Lee, who is a quality player currently for the Knicks, Trevor Ariza who just won a title in a semi-starring role for the Lakers and Nene, who played well in the playoffs for the Nuggets.  We are talking nearly 15 years and only one player that did anything semi-noteworthy for the Knicks!  Oh and the number of franchise destroying trades and signings is too long to even get into, but lets just sum it up with the name Jerome James.  Thank you Isiah Thomas.

 While the Raiders fortunately aren’t as bad as the horrifying Knicks past drafts, they are the team that drafted Todd Marinovich, Robert Gallery, Rickey Dudley, Matt Stinchcomb, Quentin Moses and Phillip Buchanon.  They made a solid pick in La’Roi Glover, but cut him after one year and watched him go to multiple Pro Bowls.  And lets not forget giving up the 7th pick and Napoleon Harris for Randy Moss, who did nothing and then trading him away for just a 4th rounder and watch him star again.

 Now this year we saw the Raiders draft Darrius Heyward-Bey #7 overall despite many having him ranked much lower.  Then of course in the second round they took Mike Mitchell, who many scouts didn’t even have on their draft board.  With the NBA draft this coming week, what does the Raiders analogy mean for the Knicks?  It is a deep draft for point guards, which is a crucial Knicks need.  If the similarities continue they will probably stretch for a lower ranked PG with others more highly regarded on the board.  Lucky for Knicks fans Greg Paulus didn’t enter his name in the draft and will try college football for a year.  Better look out for him in next years draft Raiders fans.

 So what is the common link?  It’s sadly all too easy to figure out.  Al Davis and Jim Dolan own the Raiders and Knicks, respectively and have used their stubborn, heavy handed ownership to make one terrible decision after another.  From horrific coaching decisions (can you say Lane Kiffin and Isiah Thomas), to interfering in drafts and trades, to simply embarrassing the franchises with their comments and behavior, it is amazing we haven’t learned these two guys are best friends.  If you were to write a book on how not to run a franchise you would have all the research you needed with just these two guys.  Fans of both teams are holding out hope that the recent coaching hires of Tom Cable and Mike D’Antoni will resurrect the franchises.  They both seem like quality guys that want to go about things the right way.  However, as a fan of either one of these teams you will always be on edge knowing the coaches and teams failure is only one idiotic ownership move away. 

 The NFL and NBA are much better when the Raiders and Knicks are relevant teams fighting for championships.  They have a great history, dedicated fans spread across the nation and even the world.  Lets all hope in the years to come both teams are still similar, but for all the right reasons.

What Knicks star, listed as 6-foot-2, caused the New York Daily News to note: “If he were really 6-2, he’d be starting for the Tampa Bay Bucs”?
