I was reading the website Sports Radio Interviews this morning. If you don’t currently have it on your regular reading schedule you need to check it. RSS that site. They have lots of great athlete interview coverage. Anyhow, SRI has coverage of a recent radio interview with Washington Wizards big man Brendan Haywood talking about everything from twitter to this summer’s live to web Stephon Marbury show.
You may be surprised to read some of Haywoods comments on Marbury. Or you may not be surprised. I was more surprised to hear the comments coming from Haywood as he has not been a teammate of Marbury and doesn’t seem to know him all that well. Obviously I wasn’t surprised to hear the comments themselves about the show seeming like ‘gay porn’. Why? Because c’mon, we have all thought the same thing, right? Here is what Haywood said specifically:
“At first it was cool, but after a while it just became disturbing. He’s on YouTube crying with no shirt on for no reason, sweating while his boy’s rubbing his shoulders. What’s that about? That’s like gay porn. I don’t understand it. He’s dancing to a song called ‘Barbie Doll’, doing like stripper moves. I have no idea what’s going on with the guy, it’s almost like he’s trying to end his own career. There’s not a GM out there that would touch Marbury right now… Have you seen the ‘Barbie Doll’ clip? Click on YouTube and go to Barbie Doll. There’s no way any other professional athletes would wanna get dressed around this guy, because you gotta think something is a little, he’s swinging from both sides of the fence.”
