(NPASFT) Normal People Against Stars Filming Themselves: Stephon Marbury

I think we are in a weird age where computers literally rule. I mean everything from the DVR box at home to GPS us using computers to make our lives easier. This is a good thing, in fact for most of us we have found computers make our lives easier. One thing that has gotten pretty popular is the video blog. This is cool because basically anyone with a camera can record themselves speaking on something important to them whether its feelings on a boss or how you felt to get booood off stage the night prior. I call it the broke mans therapy session. But just like any new discovery or power that was introduced into any of your favorite cartoons from old school G.I. Joe to new school Sponge Bob, this too can get into the wrongs hands. When videos like this happen, its obviously a cry from help. Remember this video of the Hoff?

Although David wasn’t taping himself, it still constitutes he putting the camera on himself because he told his daughter to film him next time he got drunk. I don’t think any of us are confused by whether the guy is drunk or not, he’s eating a freaking burger off the ground for God’s sake LOL. Stars taping themselves is a very bad thing that often never ends up well. I present to you N.P.A.S.F.T or Normal People Against Stars Filming Themselves (UUUHHH Im still working on the Logo lol). Consequently, this is where my company comes into play. We plan to put a spotlight on these often career damaging videos/photos in hopes to steer these stars in a different direction. As well as get a few laughs along the way LOL. As the chairman of this organization, I give you our first case.

After spending quite some tome on youtube I was shocked to find (months ago) a series of videos taped buy Stephon Marbury. This one time great point guard from NY that went on to get drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks and play for numerous NBA teams posted a video of himself entitled Stephon Marbury eats Vaseline.

Ok, now what the fuck was that? Now I figure this was just a re-posting and it wasn’t originally called this but the proof is in the pudding and I doubt someone paid for any CGI to fake this. I’ve done video blogs before but never have I thought to take the most disturbing practice I do behind closed doors and share it like I’m Julia Fairchild giving the secret to perfect apple turnovers. Now number one, I’m pretty sure tho there might not be a sign or a warning label on Vaseline the other 50 million or so of us knows NOT TO EAT THE SHIT. I don’t care what bayou your grandmother was from Vaseline doesn’t go in your mouth. Now I know what your thinking, the poor guy may have gotten caught in a weak moment and he just made a mistake. Sadly, I gotta say the answer to that is No. He has tons of these videos posted now of course they have been re-posted numerous times but for the most part Maubury was the first person to expose Maubury. Check out this video of him listening to Kirk Franklin. Now we all have moments like this, it’s when we tape them that we find out help is needed. Yo is that another man’s hand on his back? Wow!

Yeah! I was right! That WAS a man’s hand on his back and that cat was singing too! Man
as always I want to show where the person in-discussion came from and what makes them good or great in the first place. This former McDonalds All American was at one time heralded as the greatest NYC point guard sharing the floor with with future NBA All-Stars Kevin Garnett, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, and Antawn Jamison, ironically.

He was heavily scouted by Georgia Tech and had a promising career as a Yellow Jacket. Marbury led Georgia Tech to a 24–12 record enroute to the Regional Semifinal game of the NCAA tournament, where the Yellow Jackets lost to Cincinnati 87–70.

For the season, Marbury averaged 18.9 ppg and 4.5 assists and was named a Third Team All American by the Associated Press, along with several conference honors. Following the conclusion of the season he announced his intention to declare himself eligible for the NBA draft.

He got traded to the Milwaukee Bucks and was traded to the Timberwolves for the rights to Ray Allen ironically. In his first season in the league, Marbury averaged 15.8 points and 7.8 assists per game and was named to the 1997 All-Rookie Team. He, along with Kevin Garnett, who would later be his teammate on the Celtics, led the Timberwolves to the NBA Playoffs in 1997 and 1998. Marbury fell out with Timberwolves management stemming from a dispute with coaches about his role in the offense, and his agent David Falk demanded a trade during the lockout-shortened 1999 season. Marbury was traded to the New Jersey Nets in a three-way trade in which Terrell Brandon was sent from Milwaukee to Minnesota and Sam Cassell was sent from New Jersey to Milwaukee.

I know numbers, numbers, numbers, but my point is the guy was really talented player and hella promising as well. Here’s a video of some of his great moments:

I think what is happening is we are baring witness to the steady decline of this one time star and standout. I pray the brother gets back on track, but until then I will say this, if you care about your family members that are in the public eye, keep them the hell away from video camera because they start filming crap like this!

Crazy huh? Funny thing is, hisdriver actually hit one of his own cars. He’s the same as those Kamikaze pilots that drive planes into certain death, but at least they do it for a reason. Why the hell is he doing this to himself. The Irony of it all was that during the 08-09 season of the NBA the Chicago Bulls Actually made it to the playoffs when nobody thought we would. Though we were bumped out by the Boston Celtics, my friends and I cheered every time Maubury was running point. We knew it was only a matter of time before the turnover came.

I hereby convene this the first meeting as chairman of the N.P.A.S.F.T for those of you that are already reaping the benefits of reaching success, watch what you do with that downtime because we will be watching as well. <a href="Here's a link if you need more evidence. “>Here’s a link if you need more evidence.
