After New York Knick point guard Stephon Marbury went missing from the team yesterday, a lot of speculation went into what caused to semi-star to go into exile. Did three years of the Knicks sucking so bad finally make him snap? No, that would involve taking a team view of the sport.

The reason apparently is much more selfish—coach Isiah Thomas was going to cut his playing time. Marbury isn’t taking this easily. The point guard, who testified in Thomas’ sexual harassment suit this past summer, is threatening to smear the coach’s name with… something.

“Isiah has to start me,” Marbury fumed, according to the source. “I’ve got so much (stuff) on Isiah and he knows it. He thinks he can (get) me. But I’ll (get) him first. You have no idea what I know.”

Thomas is a known sexist, racist and sexual harasser. He’s also run three NBA teams into the ground and sunk the Continental Basketball Association (CBA) when he was its owner. Unless it involves little kids or puppies, there can’t be anything worse in his past… can there?
