After September 11, George Bush squandered an opportunity to unite and heal a nation when, rather than implore the country to adopt the same sense of self-sacrifice and indomitable will that marked the Greatest Generation and helped rescue civilization from the grips of totalitarian fascism, he merely asked Americans to go their local malls and purchase food-court soft pretzels.
Today, then, in response to the second greatest tragedy inflicted upon the modern metropolis of New York, I would be no better, nor would my legacy further withstand the test of time, if I failed to plead — nay, demand — that you follow 3 Shades of Blue’s lead and vote Stephon Marbury into the All-Star Game. (via Ball Don’t Lie)
Friends, bloggers, fans…lend me your ear. Not in a creepy Vincent van Gogh kind of way either … This is your mission, if you choose to accept it: Vote for Stephon Marbury. Put him in the All-Star game as a starter.
The world will little note, nor long remember, what I post here, but it cannot forget what 3 Shades of Blue has done here. It is for us, the NBA fans, to be dedicated to the unfinished work which he has thus far so nobly advanced.
UPDATE: Join the Movement.
