Marbury on Oprah: THE LIVEBLOG (with special guest Sarah Jessica Parker)

I want to see Steph on Oprah, so I guess I just have to sit through the whole hour until he comes on. I miss Knicks basketball. COMMENCE LIVEBLOG!

  • The theme of this show appears to be "nice things for cheap." First up is Sarah Jessica Parker, who has a new line of sub-$20 clothing. Maybe Ben Wallace will endorse her products too?
  • Steve & Barry's apparently did SJP's line of clothing also. I was kinda hoping it was called "Starker" but it's not.
  • I've kinda got a thing for Sarah Jessica Parker. Remember "Honeymoon in Vegas"?
  • It just hit me that I'm live-blogging "Oprah" right now. Oh, how I wish the Knicks were still playing basketball.
  • Bunch of models showing off SJP's clothing line right now. No word on whether the red high-heeled espadrilles cause turf toe.
  • I haven't had an English muffin in so long.
  • This designer lady is selling nice furniture for cheap. Awesome. I'm listening to The Basketball Jones right now.
  • I originally thought they said that violent mothers were prowling the streets in this Eyewitness News commercial, but I've just realized they were saying violent muggers. That's less funny.
  • Marbury time after this quick break! They cut to commercials with footage of his game-winner against Utah. Nice.
  • Huge applause from the crowd for Marbury.
  • This may sound odd, but Steph's skin looks a lot darker than usual.
  • A fourth grade class in Brooklyn wrote Marbury letters so he shows up to their class and gives out some books, Steve & Barry's gift certificates, and Knicks tickets.
  • Scratch that, Steph's giving the whole SCHOOL gift certificates and bringing all of them to a game.
  • Since I heard about it, I've always feared that these shoes would be found to cause toe herpes or something. Just because Marbury's reputation has always been so shitty that he can never catch a break.
  • And it's over. Like a lot of people, I've gained quite a bit of respect for Marbury from hearing about things like this and watching his rugged play over the last season. Keep truckin', Steph.
That's all for now. My heart is over-warmed. Peace.

I did the same thing...
I watched Oprah (it just happened to be that I picked the right day to play hooky from work), and was going to do a post about it, but I didn't really get much from it.  So here's my notes:

-Oprah introduces Steph by saying he "wows the crowds" in a rhyming, Clyde Frazier kinda way.  I'm inspired to pitch an idea for a game show called "Beat Clyde" in which a contestant will watch a video clip of something random with Clyde Frazier, and they'll trade rhymes on the spot... like for your animal shows clips, it'll be like a clip of a sea cow mother showing it's offspring some love, and Clyde will say "Manatee with the humanity", and you'll have to beat it somehow.  (sidenote: yes, I'm still drunk.  Yes, last night didn't end until 11 this morning.  Yes, I'm sleep deprived).

-Steph is rocking a nice cream suit.  Where to dress up to impress the O.

-Check that - it's not a suit.  He has grayish pants, and a blazer that isn't quite the same color.  Not so smooth looking after all.  The blazer's color?  According to the GF, it's sherbet.  I don't know what color that it, but she explains that it's actually an ice cream flavor.  Cue the pic of sherbet ice cream.

-O: "What's been the reaction (to the sneakers)?"
Steph: "I've felt so many reactions... one lady, I felt her soul when she hugged me..."
Conclusions: Steph's offseason regiment includes groping souls.  Maybe he can try that during a game on Vince Carter, so we can get a definitive answer to whether or not he even has a soul.  

-The O reveals to Steph that SJP told her it was his sneaker line that inspired her to start a low-budget clothing line.  Steph seems not to interested in "comparing the two", since his sneakers are a far more socially conscious product.  The Soul Molester 1, SJP 0.

-Stephon Marbury gets compared to The Toothpaste Man (Boy?), a children's book I never read, by the ten year olds.  The school is Patrick Daly School in Red Hook (a.k.a. the part of Brooklyn that is impossible to get to by subway, and at the foot of the Battery Tunnel).  I once went to a show in Red Hook.  It took me three days to get back home.  It involved shady bars, crazy ass bodegas, hitchhiking, and swimming.  Escaping Alcatraz was easier.

-Steph's face is really red.  Like a bad sunburn.  Dude's offseason regiment apparently involves groping souls on the beach.

-And that's it for the Oprah segment.  As a sidenote, according to the Post, while he was in Chicago filming this segment for Oprah, Steph checked in on Eddy Curry.  How do you think that conversation went?

Yo, Eddy, what's up?
Chilling.  Eating deep dish pizza.  It ain't no Sbarro's.  Did you bring me some Sbarro's from NYC?
Alriiight.  Um, see you next season.

Oops, last line...
The last line is suppose to be Eddy Curry saying: "Hey, you look just like my favorite flavor of ice cream", then Steph is like "alriiigh, see you next season".
