Despite his travails with head coach Larry Brown, star guard Stephon Marbury wants to "die a Knick," the New York Post reported Tuesday.
"If I ever was to be cremated, I'd want my ashes sprinkled on top of the Garden," Marbury also told the newspaper. "Playing here has always been my dream. I want to be in New York more than any place."
The Knicks finished 23-59 in Brown's first season at the help, and he and Marbury had several heated public clashes.
"I hope that every player on this team comes back next season," Marbury told the Post. "I honestly mean that. Every player. I think we have a great team. I think it will be so much different next year."
