Tough times for Stephon Marbury. Well, actually, maybe not so tough times. After all, perchance he doesn’t actually like the basketballing so much, and getting paid $21.9 million to sit on the bench suits him just fine. Maybe his secret dream is actually to become a circus juggler or clown, and the extra time is going to allow him to work on that. I don’t know.

What I do know, though, is that he’s seriously considering going back to Abraham Lincoln High School in Brooklyn (WHERE BROOKLYN AT) to train.

“I think I’m going to start practicing with my high school team,” Marbury said after practice Thursday in Greenburgh. “Seriously. I’ve already called the coach to see if I can run up and down with the guys and at the same time help teach the younger guys the NBA game.”

Lincoln coach Dwayne Morton confirmed that he has spoken with Marbury, who led the school to the city title in 1995, about practicing with the team. Morton added that no specific date or time was addressed.  “If he does I’d be excited about it and I know the kids would be delighted,” Morton said. “I know he’s thinking about it.”

Unfortunately for Marbury, looks like the Knicks likely wouldn’t let him do this, nor would he have time traveling back and forth from Brooklyn to Westchester. Who knows though, maybe Marbury can hook up with Bassie Telfair and and reignite their Lincoln high roots into a team straight outta Coney Island. I’ll film it and call the movie Semi-Pro II: Attack of the Coney Island Point Guards. Will Ferrell can be their coach or something.
