Assuming that anything posted on Stephon Marbury’s Twitter page is sane and to be believed, twinkle-twinkling Starbury is set to float off into the cosmos of retirement. Monday night, with a lot more ellipses, he posted, “Done. Forever. Blessings. Basketball is just a game. I will say it again. 14 years 250 million. Hold that. I’m good. Thank you jesus for the blessing. Thanks NBA.” The word is that he wants to pursue television and web opportunities, which means we probably haven’t seen the last of his him. Still, his special brand of lunacy won’t be coming to a court near you, so Complex puts ten of his craziest moments up to remember the weirdness that was.

Date: 2005
What Marbury did: Had sex with an MSG intern in the back seat of his SUV after meeting her at a Mount Vernon strip club, where she was celebrating her birthday with other interns.
Why it’s crazy: The pickup line “Are you going to get in the truck?” got his tip wet.

Date: July 1, 2007
What Marbury did: While interviewing with Bruce Beck on Mike’d Up, he appeared drugged and/or mentally unstable, making completely incoherent statements, breaking out out into dance, answering his cell phone on air, and referring to his wife as his “better ho.”
Why it’s crazy: We were under the impression that when you put a ring on it a woman officially becomes your best ho.

Date: July 17, 2007
What Marbury did: Told the New York Post he’d play in Italy when his NBA contract was up because his wife enjoyed visiting the country. He compared the move to international soccer icon David Beckham signing with the L.A. Galaxy so he and his wife Victoria “Posh Spice” could go Hollywood.
Why it’s crazy: Italy doesn’t grant work visas to loons from other countries who mistake themselves for global icons.

Date: August 20, 2007
What Marbury did: Expressed support for admitted dog fighter Michael Vick, telling Albany TV station Capital News 9 that he thinks it’s hypocritical that hunters can kill other animals for sport and it’s OK but #7 gets prison time for participating in what Steph hears is a sport, “just behind closed doors.”
Why it’s crazy: Lunacy smells like raw meat to underfed dogs.

Date: November 12, 2007
What Marbury did: When he learned that coach Isiah Thomas was benching him, Steph confronted him 30,000 feet in the air, then reportedly told teammates: “Isiah has to start me. I’ve got so much shit on Isiah and he knows it. He thinks he can fuck me. But I’ll fuck him first. You have no idea what I know.”
Why it’s crazy: You can’t blackmail someone after you’ve just publicly blown up their spot and lost a sexual harassment suit for them.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Date: July 2008
What Marbury did: Tattooed the Starbury logo on the side of his head.
Why it’s crazy: Making affordable basketball sneakers was noble, so we understand his pride as a entrepreneur and spokesman, but putting the brand’s logo on his head right before the exclusive retailer files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a about 75 cents short of a dollar.

Date: December 16, 2008
What Marbury did: Banned from attending Knicks practices and games until the team could get him to agree to a contract buyout and send his ass packing, Steph bought a courtside seat to see them play the Lakers in Los Angeles and make things uncomfortable.
Why it’s crazy: He paid waaay too much attention to the game to be sitting that close to the court in L.A.

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Year: July 24, 2009
What Marbury did: Began broadcasting his life 24/7 on the live stream website Justin.tv.
Why it’s crazy: A day in the life of Starbury involves stripper dancing topless (even if it wasn’t to “Barbie Girl”), crying to Kirk Franklin, and eating Vaseline (to help the crazy pills go down).

————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

Year: August 13, 2009
What Marbury did: After TMZ.com posted a video that appeared to show Steph smoking weed while being chauffeured, he told the site that he does indeed get high occasionally because he’s not under contract.
Why it’s crazy: He’s not under contract. Nor will he be until the Humboldt County Crazy Highs become an NBDL team.
