Stephon Marbury came out of the projects on Coney Island.  In this long incisive article, the Arizona Republic gives us some excellent insights into why Marbury attacks the game the way he does.  Marbury is portrayed as a man who has great respect for the community he came from and finds ways to give back to it through his charity work.  Many other interesting items emerge - his frosty relationship with Penny Hardaway that is changing fast, a recent dinner conversation with Jason Kidd and, most surprising, his entry into the world of fashion and ballet.  Yup, ballet!  Apparently, Stephon has taken up the pirouette to strengthen his ankles.  A very interesting read to say the least.
