Last summer, Stephon Marbury vowed he would play in Italy after his Knick contract expired after 2009. At the time, many scoffed at the farfetched notion. But Marbury's desires have now become the trend, with nine NBA players signing with European or Israeli clubs since July 1's free agency. While Marbury plans to play in the NBA this season - with the Knicks or another club if released - he still has plans of an Italian career. In fact, Marbury told The Post he will play as soon as next season, specifically aiming to join Milan. He'll have connections. Mike D'Antoni coached Milan in the 1990's and first-rounder Danilo Gallinari played for Milan the past two seasons.

I had openly wondered whether Marbury would use the D'Antoni connection to help him get established in the Italian league, and I had mentioned this link and joked about it in past postings.
It makes sense for Marbury and D'Antoni to help each other.

It makes sense for Marbury to go overseas too - he's probably just about done in the US after his attitude with the Knicks organization and his lack of defense.

Going go Italy was a punchline as Marbury came up with it, now its all the rage.

Stephon, go into marketing, thats where your strenghts lie ! Youve got the talent to
play ball too, but that "team" part still eludes you.

Well, he has proven that he can't play in the NBA, so Italy, Greece, Spain - somewhere in Europe - seems to be his best option.

Stephon, don't let the door hit you on the way out.

"Starbury" still has nba level talent but the attitude is what makes him undesirable to everyone.
