Knicks Tab Marbury As Co-Captain

[Knicks Analyst]

Lenny Wilkens has bestowed the Knicks' captaincy on Stephon Marbury after the Coney Island Kid walked into his office Monday before the team flew to South Carolina and told the coach he was ready for the role, The Post has learned.

Allan Houston will remain co-captain.

Marbury, whose leadership had been questioned in some circles, will be the Knicks' more visible captain. Houston had been the sole captain since 2000. The decision was a no-brainer, since Houston hasn't played a game since March and often is apart from the team during his knee rehab.</div>

It was just a matter of time!

I also think it was bound to happen. I'm glad Houston is co-captain. We need some veteran leadership still with us. I also think this is a sign that Allan might be going soon so they want Steph to be used to this role.

Was going to happen sooner or later. Hope Marbury's up to the task.
