You Know Your Career Has Gone South When...

...you're Stephon Marbury and you check out ESPN.com this morning, only to find the following headline:

"Goodbye Marbury? Knicks to sign guard Roberson"

Now it wouldn't be so bad if that headline read any of the following:

"Goodbye Marbury? Knicks to sign guard Steve Nash"

"Goodbye Marbury? Knicks to sign guard Chris Paul"

or even "Goodbye Marbury? Knicks to sign guard Dan Dickau"

But Roberson? Honestly, I didn't know who Roberson was - I assumed a "T" was missing in his name. Apparently not - his name is Anthony Roberson. He played 20 games last year and averaged 5.6 ppg and 0.5 apg. Yes, Mr. Starbury, you're being replaced by a guy who cracked 10 points in a game just once last year...it also happened to be the only game where he registered more than one assist.

So there's your replacement, Stephon. In the meantime, you can cash in that $19 million per year paycheck, and reminisce about the days when you would pour in 20+ points a night, and dish out 8 or 9 dimes. A guy who should be in the D-League is running your team. How the mighty have fallen.
