So 7 days ago Stephon Marbury decided to pull a little publicity stunt that advanced the term "lifecasting" to beyond what was originally intended. Marbury has been streaming himself doing crazy things for the past 7 days.

Here is the problem. We aren't talking about silly middle school girls having a drinking caffeinated cola at night during a sleepover crazy. We are talking about that weird guy you went to school with that had the funny looking eyes, sat by himself, and enjoyed classifying the aromas of every person at the school. Yeah, we are talking certifiable crazy here.

Over the course of the past 7 days, Stephon Marbury may not have convinced all the fans he was the cool likeable guy he may have originally intended. He did succeed at one thing though. He has caught the attention of the Internet. After the first couple of days I really didn't want to say anything but I did write about the marburython.

Things just got a little bit more uncomfortable. We can forget about Stephon Marbury getting into an accident while live. We can forget about him eating vaseline because I really doubt that incident will result in any marketing gurus jumping at the thought of using him in an advertising campaign which will most likely end up making him cry again.

Right now, we only know one thing. Stephon Marbury is crying out for help in the form of an epic live video blogging charade and he is telling the world that something is seriously wrong with him. He isn't the same person he ever was. This is the Stephon Marbury post-NBA. This is the beginning of a new chapter in which Stephon Marbury must figure out who he really is.

Now a Justin.TV/UStream marathon video could be the beginning of the end. All the good and bad in his life eclipsed by his attempt to find empathy. Forgotten is how he tried to make shoes affordable, so that it would help put kids' priorities back into a safe and less materialistic place. Forgotten is what he had to deal with in playing for a team that tried to take the game of basketball away from him by not playing him for a year. Forgotten is that the same team waited until after a game to tell him that his father was taken by ambulance from the arena and later died. Forgotten is that he's loyal to a fault when it comes to his family.

None of that matters. Nothing does. Because the Stephon Marbury you either loved or hated has disappeared.

I don't know that anybody ever expected this. Not in their wildest dreams would anybody expect to witness Marbury having a complete breakdown in front of the world. Honestly, I'm afraid to think about what is to come next for Marbury because going down that road only predicts very negative outcomes. Very. Very. Negative.

So, instead of clowning on him like Shaq did, those close to him at least should be taking this as an opportunity to address what is really going on. Because this just isn't normal.
