Knick point guard Stephon Marbury approached head coach Lenny Wilkens and said that he'd like to become captain of the Knicks.  

"I went to Coach and I said, 'Coach, I'm ready to be named captain, and I feel like I want to be the person to set the tone, and be the person that's out there being the voice for you on the court,'" Marbury said.

Marbury will be co-captain along with Allan Houston, who will miss the first part of the season while recovering from injury.
