2008_12_stephlak.jpgMay the Knicks-Marbury insanity never, ever end! Though Stephon Marbury has been banned from Knicks games and practices, he still opted to see his team play against the Lakers in L.A. by buying a ticket for a baseline seat (video here). Perhaps the best coverage of this comes from the Daily News' Frank Isola, who quotes Marbury as telling reporters last night: "All I've got to do is get free. Once I get free, the team I'm going to go to, I think a lot of people will be shocked. All the people that say nobody wants me on their team... I'm all of these different things...Frank Isola said I'm a cancer ... I'm doing my thing though." And when asked if basketball was no longer his thing, the point guard simply said, "I'm doing my thang."
