The Approval Matrix: Week of December 10, 2007


Chronicles of Starbury
















With a nod to the classic "Choose Your Own Adventure" series, NBA FanHouse brings you inside Stephon Marbury's shaved head. Make the right decision, and you're a hero. Make the wrong play, and things get ugly. Choose wisely!
_____________

The month is November. The setting is Madison Square Garden. You are Starbury, the world's greatest point guard.* You have been benched by your coach, Isiah Thomas, who could be fired any day now.

This is appalling. Michael Jordan didn't come off the bench. There's no scenario under which Stephon Marbury should sit behind a scrub like Mardy Collins.

What do you choose to do?

Click here to stay with the Knicks. Maybe you can be New York's hero again.

... or ...

Click here to negotiate a buyout agreement. You can free yourself from the shackles of MSG management. The team is a disaster; best to extract your paycheck and bounce.

... or ...

Click here to go AWOL again. You left before, and got Isiah a lot of bad press. Maybe the powers-that-be will force Isiah out if you do it again. (AOL Sports)

Jackson 5 Reunion



















Jermaine Jackson has confirmed speculation The Jackson 5 are to embark on a reunion tour in 2008 - complete with pop superstar brother Michael.

Concert promoter Leonard Rowe - the man behind Michael Jackson's Off The Wall tour in the late 1970s and early 1980s - recently admitted he had been in touch with the infamous Jackson family to discuss reforming for a number of live dates. He also claimed Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon had already confirmed their involvement - the Thriller superstar was the only family member yet to give a firm 'yes'.

And Jermaine reveals the Abc hitmakers have been planning a comeback for years, but the project was delayed by Michael's child abuse trial in 2005. He says, "Michael will be involved. We feel we have to do it one more time. We owe that to the fans and to the public." (Teen Music)
