Embattled Knicks guard Stephon Marbury seems to have come up with a new strategy in an attempt to elicit sympathy for his exile from the team since the dawn of the Mike D'Antoni era: present himself as an everyman fighting the injustices of billionaires trying to keep him down. While at a Lakers game last night, Marbury referred to the Knicks multiple times as a "billion-dollar company" and at one point said, "For me, what am I going to do against a billion-dollar company? I can't beat a billion-dollar company so I got to stand still and just wait." Marbury himself will make $21 million in a season that has yet to see him take the court. The Knicks still hope that they might be able to negotiate a deal to trade him before the March 1st deadline. He was at last night's game wearing the Laker colors of purple and gold, possibly to lure the Western powerhouse into a trade or possibly just to make it abundantly clear that he was rooting for a team that wasn't the Knicks.
