Starrberry meets an Atheist

I can't decide if Stephon Marbury is a genius or insane. Probably a bit of both. On the one hand, he has a tattoo on his head, which is kind of crazy (see: Tyson, Mike) but on the other hand, he started a shoe company that sells the same kicks he wears in the NBA to kids in the projects for just $15 bucks, which is awesome.

So even though I knew about the the yin and the yang of the Starbury, I was still fascinated by his this article about his encounter with an athesist. Marbury is a devout Christian and the journalist covering him isn't. While some of his reactions to this development are classic space-age Starbury, some of his quotes I think are rather profound. Especially when he tells the reporter that it's ok for him not to believe now, but "in time" he will understand.

Genius or lunatic? "In time" maybe we'll understand.
