Maybe Stephon Marbury willed his way into a home when he blogged earlier this week that the Starbury movement "won't stop." It appears that the World Champion Celtics are in fact interested in the Knicks exiled point guard as was reported yesterday. While the response of many to the talk that the Celtics would shake up their chemistry with someone as volatile as Marbury, ESPN gives an in-depth list of reasons why they would take him on, almost making Boston sound overconfident in their ability to make Stephon a team player with "ubuntu", the African word for unity that serves as a self-appointed label for their powerful team chemistry. While he says that being a backup in Boston is not his number one choice, Marbury tells the Post, "If the world champions have interest, how can I not? I would be honored to put on the white and green." Maybe the Celtics have the crown he feels is coming to him when he ended his blog with the Bible passage, "Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which GOD has promised to those who love him."
