On Tuesday, the Knicks announced that Stephon Marbury was sidelined with bursitis, or inflammation near the heel.  Marbury makes $17 million but wears $15 shoes, which led a reporter to ask him if it was related.

"My shoe?" Marbury replied. "It's not because of my shoe.

"People are going to say what they want to say," said Marbury, who missed Tuesday's preseason game against Philadelphia. "I know what's going on."
