Every bit as ringless as his old buddy Kevin Garnett and nearly as senior in status - Marbury is in his 11th professional season, drafted by Minnesota one year after Garnett - the New York Knicks' point guard largely is a target of derision rather than a player viewed with sympathy for his inability to win big.

The difference is mostly one of blame: Garnett ultimately doesn't take the heat for the Timberwolves' repeated playoff failings over the years, while Marbury gets blamed for pretty much everything that goes wrong with the Knicks these days. Not to mention transit slowdowns, Derek Jeter getting jobbed out of the AL MVP award, the scarcity of PS3 and anything that might be clogging Mayor Bloomberg's desk this week.

So what do you think. Is it Marbury's fault his teams don't win big? Is it fair he's blamed for everything under the sun? Or is he a spolied 11 year veteran who just needs to hang it up?

I added a poll to this thread as well.
