LeBron Scores Big for Knicks at MSG
MVP candidate and the NBA's leading player, LeBron James, scored 50 points last night at Madison Square Garden in a 119-105 win over the Knicks. The Knicks trailed 99-98 when James went on a tear in the final 3:51, hitting four three-pointers. His 50th point came with 1:04 left in the game. James made 16 of 30 shots, including 7 of 13 threes, and 11 of 16 from the line, along with 10 assists and 4 steals. It was his fifth 50-point game and his second this year. He received a standing ovation for his efforts and said it was a great honor to get one in the greatest basketball arena in the world.
Even though it was LeBron's time to shine, the spotlights still seemed to be on Stephon Marbury. Lebron James reportedly feels that Marbury constantly puts himself in front of the team, which is extremely disheartening for the Knicks. The team doesn't foresee the situation with Marbury getting better any time soon either.
It's still unclear as to whether or not Marbury was banned from Madison Square Garden because of his ankle surgery or because of unexcused absences. Isiah Thomas doesn't seem to be too quick to answer any questions regarding Marbury so it's still a mystery. It's even unclear as to whether or not Marbury even wants to stay with the Knicks because of the discrepancies in his statements. Marbury's teammates are beginning to feel that he cares more about himself than the team. This could be an extremely toxic notion among players.
