| 3/28/07 NY Newsday: LeBron James had a few nice things to say Wednesday night about the $14.98 sneakers Stephon Marbury endorses. In stark contrast to James' $150 Nikes, the Starbury line has been praised for taking a stance against outrageously priced shoes that most kids can't afford.
But when asked if he could envision endorsing sneakers that retail for one-tenth the price of most Nikes, James managed to take a shot at Marbury. "No, I don't think so," James said before the Cavaliers played the Knicks. "Me being with Nike, we hold our standards high." Ouch.
Marbury typically doesn't speak with reporters before games, but not for the typical reasons, like ticket distribution, cell phone conversations, and other common diva rituals. He actually has a regimented and fairly arduous pregame preparation routine, for which he was lacing up his Starburys when he was informed of James' comment.
Marbury shook his head for a moment while contemplating whether to comment, then shot back, "I'd rather own than be owned."

| herroO friends! who's back in ny?? let's chilllllll. i want to go ice-skating. :)
remember the good ol' high school days spent skating around in Wolman's rink???
remember being poor and renting one locker for 8 people and packing that shizzo so tight that our shoes came out in weird shapes?
remember looking up into the winter sky in the middle of Central Park filled with nekked trees and catching snowflakes on our tongues?
remember having an excuse to hold hands with the boy or girl you thought was cute throughout high school and how wonderful it felt to skate next to them?
remember getting our jncos/requests/ufos caught underneath our skates and busting our asses and then sliding forward on the ice while our friends continued skating on and sometimes skated over our fingers while we scrambled to get up?
one of my fondest memories was mary holding my hands and skating backwards whilst teaching me how to skate forwards.
ooo and also the hot chocolate.
who's down to rehash these moments?
i love you guys.
merry christmas ~
