Deconstructing the Starbury Car Crash

The setup: Stephon Marbury is still livecasting, well, his life. Even as I write this post, there's music playing with a black screen on his Justin.TV screen. Marbury has eaten Vaseline. Cried. And now, we've got our first on-air car accident at around the 1:40 mark below:

Let's go back and break this down:

1:00 -- The philosopher Marbury reminds us it's always a positive day when we wake up and that a lot of people don't wake up. Fair point.

1:15 -- The natural transition into singing Happy Birthday, of course.

1:37 -- Why yes, Stephon, it would be nice if Mary J. Blige sang Happy Birthday to me.

1:46 -- [CRASH! Camera Tumbles.]

1:48 -- "Don't worry about it. Ain't nothin' but the devil." Yes, please repeat that verbatim when the insurance guy shows up. That should be sufficient evidence for your claim to be filed.

I didn't catch this live because I was out playing basketball, so maybe someone can fill me in if this was a one-car accident and his boy hit something like a light post or a big curb, but if that was an accident with another car shouldn't he have, you know, stopped?

I hope Starbury keeps going with this because it's comforting to know I can turn that stream at any given time and see something new and ridiculous.

The word "crazy" gets tossed around a lot. Very few people are actually crazy, though. That said, Marbury is CRAZY.  Holy hell. I think it’s safe to say that no NBA general manager will offer this whackadoo a contract, but Isiah might offer him a scholarship.

You think you’ve seen pretty much everything bizarre in this world … and then you see this. I’m almost speechless. A grown man. With lots of coin. Don’t do this at home, kiddies.
