In a radio interview, Haywood criticized Marbury for his recent video blogs, calling them "disturbing" and making a number of comments hinting towards homosexuality.

"I was just trying to have fun with a crazy situation. I don't support or condemn homosexuality and I believe in everyone making choices for themselves. If it doesn't affect me, I don't really care. I hope no one was offended because I wasn't trying to come off like Tim Hardaway." Read the Full Story Discuss Send Feedback Buy Tickets Wizards Aug 2009 Archive
