No matter what you think of Stephon Marbury, You have to feel for the problems he has encountered this year. With everything else going on just yesterday his father died.

(AP) reports that …..

Don Marbury, the father of Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury, died Sunday during the team’s home loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Team spokesman Jonathan Supranowitz said no other information was immediately available, other than that Don Marbury wasn’t at Madison Square Garden when he died.

Stephon Marbury was escorted out the arena by security shortly after the game.

Marbury has endured a tough first month of the season. His aunt, on his mother’s side of the family, died Nov. 19. Marbury said at the time he also had another recent death in his family.

He also left the team during a road trip when coach Isiah Thomas was considering removing him from the starting lineup. A New York native, Marbury has heard boos ever since then at Madison Square Garden.

Stephon, as a fan of yours from the Phoenix Suns days, we wish only the best for you and your family.
