Ricky and Marbury are cut from the same cloth of putting up great individual numbers while simultaneously killing a team. They are the anti-UBUNTU and should be avoided at all costs. Steph actually went to GT while I was there and I met him a few times, seemed cool, I've got nothing against him personally. But I want no parts of him on this team. As for Ricky...
Pat Riley got rid of him as a young man despite his obvious talent because he considered him too hard to coach.
He was in Cleveland putting up great numbers when they got LeBron. By all reports he refused to play second fiddle to a rookie, even a phenom like LeBron, and poisoned the locker room to the point that he was traded as an "addition by subtraction" to the Celtics.
As Roy Hobbs did a great job of chronicling, Ricky consistently undermined Pierce and made Doc's job hard while he was in Boston. He was traded to Minnesota.
In Minny, Davis and Blount became known as the "Toxic Twins". They combined to absolutely poison the team. He put the final nail in the KG era in Minny in 2007, as Ricky had a clash with the coach and left the bench during a game while the team was still in playoff contention with a record of 20-17. The team lost, two games later the coach was fired, and for the rest of the year the team went 12 - 33. Trading Davis and Blount to Miami for Walker and a #1 was arguably the greatest trade of Mchale's tenure.
In Miami you can't blame Wade's injury on Davis and Blount, but I don't think it's a coincidence that the two of them were present and playing big minutes during the Heat's terrible season. In fact, I wrote a predictions article before last season, when most expected the Heat to be a playoffs team, I predicted that things would not go well in Miami in part because of the presence of Ricky and Blount.
Bottom line: just say no to Ricky (and Marbury) in Green next year.
