September 12, 2007 -- New York Knicks guard Stephon Marbury was grilled about seedy sex with a team intern in a truck as he took the witness stand at his boss Isiah Thomas' sexual harassment trial - a case he admitted he's laughed off from the start.  Hunched in the hot-seat in a stylish tan checked jacket, Marbury 'fessed up to crassly luring the college student into his vehicle outside a Manhattan strip club, calling out, "Are you going to get in the truck?" "It really wasn't a conversation," said the cocky team captain, admitting he knew the woman was an intern but denying he was aware she was drunk. Allegations of rampant verbal abuse is central Sanders' case against Thomas, who she claims started every sentence to her with the word "bitch." But Marbury jumped to his coach's defense, claiming he never heard his coach curse at Sanders, saying it was "not his persona." Jurors got a darker picture of Marbury at the start of testimony yesterday, when Sanders described his sexual exploits in his truck during her most emotional moment during two days on the witness stand. Weeping and sniffling, Sanders recalled how the distraught intern had told her, "I wouldn't have gotten in (the truck), but I felt like I had to." "When she got into the car, she basically did whatever he wanted her to do. They basically had sexual relations," said Sanders, dabbing her eyes as she revealed that the intern was dating Marbury's cousin, who also worked for the Knicks. "She considered it consensual because she got in the car," Sanders said.

Listen I’m not the biggest Stephon Marbury fan ever to come down the pike.   But you’re not going to catch me grilling a guy for using his power and prestige to nail an intern.  Because that is what you do to interns.  You take them to strip clubs.  You get them drunk.  And then you screw them.  It’s “Intern 101”.   There isn’t a dude in corporate America who hasn’t taken a run at an intern before and who wouldn’t be bragging about this the next day if they pulled it off.   And also I’m not going to get on Isiah for starting every sentence with the word “bitch” either.  That’s exactly how I talk to my employees at the Stool and nobody seems to mind.

“Bitch, write me a blog”

"Bitch, stops complaining about not getting paid"
