"During this meaningless exercise,
Marbury, who came to Las Vegas to "support" his team, joined Frazier and Gus Johnson at the broadcast table. Marbury must have thrilled Knicks fans when he proclaimed: "I don't have anything to prove to anyone. The only person I'm competing against is myself." I'm sure all NBA players also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that. Marbury, in an introspective mood, went on to alert viewers that he "became a man" during his public feud with Brown. "I was pro-active," Marbury said. "Somebody told me I went from Gandhi to Malcolm X."
"(Brown) always tested guys," Frazier told Marbury. "That's what he was looking for. He wanted to see what you were able to come up with to be a man, to handle it."

"Marbury developed a sudden case of amnesia.
"No, I'm not giving (Brown) that much credit," Marbury said. "I'm sorry, Clyde."

"Then where did (the motivation to become a man) come from?" Frazier, his voice raising, asked. "If (Brown) didn't do it...." Marbury cut off Frazier. "No, I'm not giving (Brown) that much credit," Marbury said. "And I'm not even supposed to be talking about it. He doesn't get that much credit."

"And
if Marbury ever wanted Clyde out, there is no doubt in my mind Dolan and Thomas would grant him his wish. For only in Bizzaro Knicks World would the suits jettison Frazier, a Knicks icon - a Hall of Famer - for telling the truth. Just ask Marv Albert."
