In papers filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern
District of New York in Manhattan on Monday, Marbury's attorneys claim
the Knicks' brooding point guard is still owed at least $2.2 million in
unpaid royalties.
Steve & Barry's, which sought
court protection on July 9, has said it doesn't owe Marbury any more
than the almost $6 million it has paid Marbury's Starbury Corp. since
entering into the exclusive agreement in January.
Marbury,
of course, wants the issue cleared up before Steve & Barry's sells
its assets. But Marbury has employed a strategy familiar to him
throughout his career -- he wants to change courts. Marbury, who has
played for four different teams in his 12-year NBA career, wants the
royalties dispute heard in a Manhattan District Court, not the
Manhattan bankruptcy court where Steve & Barry's case is currently
pending. - John Blakeley
New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury loves his low-price sneaker line so much that he's tattooed the "Starbury" logo into his head.
But bankrupt Steve & Barry's LLC, the exclusive retailer of
Marbury's affordable sneakers, apparently doesn't appreciate the
extraordinary lengths the Brooklyn, N.Y., native has gone in promoting
the brand.
