Stephon Marbury had to get on the stand and answer questions during Isiah Thomas's sexual harassment trial.
Anucha Browne Sanders, the woman suing Thomas and the Knicks said Marbury was a big part of the problem. Marbury reportedly asked Sanders for 50 tickets and she told him he couldn't get that many he complained to her superiors and she had to come up with the tickets.
Also Marbury forced the team (by going right to Dolan) to hire his cousin, Hassan Gonsalves to a low-level job. Gonsalves was later fired by the Knicks for sexual harrassment and an incident in which he forged his boss's name on his timesheet.
But the most startling allegation against Marbury involves an intern named Kathleen Decker. In 2005, Decker, Gonsalves, Marbury and some other Knicks employees went to a strip club. Decker accepted a ride home to her dorm at St. John's by Gonsalves. Marbury followed them and when Decker got out of Gonsalves's car Marbury said to her "Are you going to get in the truck?"
Decker (exercising bad judgment, although she was drunk and afraid to deny Marbury) got in the truck and had sex with Marbury.
Marbury was quite the gentleman afterwards, although he didn't call her the next day he did send a text that said "I want some more of that."
