| Today is the official unveiling of the Starbury, an | | | | a huge salary in this day and age of overpriced |
| athletic sneaker that will be offered throughout | | | | athletes as no one is holding a gun to the owner's |
| America at all Steve and Barry's. The Starbury is | | | | head. However, what does tick me off is how a |
| the brainchild of New York Knicks guard Stephon | | | | player like Marbury can stand to look himself in |
| Marbury, who has been anything but a bargain in | | | | the mirror after every game when he knows he |
| his last 5 years with the Suns and Knicks. | | | | has underachieved. Makes you wonder if this |
| I must be honest with you, I've visited Steve and | | | | guy's involved in sports betting, eh? |
| Barry's several times in Buffalo and find the place | | | | One only has to look towards Steve Nash, who |
| outstanding if you are looking for a gift for a | | | | replaced the Starbury, for a guy who earns |
| relative or a friend. The place is lined wall to wall | | | | every single penny and then some every time he |
| with every t-shirt and sweat shirt from every | | | | steps on the court for the Phoenix Suns. The |
| major university in the country. The cost of the | | | | problem in America today is that our youth is |
| sweatshirt is $7.99 and the quality of the shirt is | | | | caught up in the trendy brand names like |
| as good as Roots or Nike. | | | | Abercrombie and Nike and feel that the only way |
| Now, I know many people live by the motto that | | | | to be hip is to walk around in a pair of $150 |
| you get what you pay for, but if that was the | | | | shoes. |
| case how would Marbury's employers feel the | | | | If your kid has a choice between walking into |
| past several years? I mean, Larry Brown has | | | | Steve and Barry's for the $15.00 shoe or Dick's |
| pretty well won at every level he has coached | | | | Sporting Goods for the $149.99 Lebron James |
| and certainly gotten the most out of his players, | | | | shoe, what do you think he'd pick? |
| yet when coupled with Stephon he failed | | | | You'd better reach for that credit card or start |
| miserably. | | | | laying some heavy sports betting cash and hope |
| I have nothing against an athlete that commands | | | | you win. |
