50 Cent And Fat Joe Drama Caused Friction Between New York Knicks Teammates

50 Cent and Fat Joe feud in the mid 2000s spilled over into an NBA locker room Stephon Marbury and Tim Thomas were New York Knicks teammates for the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Although they were friendly growing up and coming into the league, Thomas siding with G-Unit and Starbury being cool with Joey Crack caused a rift in their relationship. Thomas reflected on how 50 and Joe’s beef fractured his friendship with Marbury “Me and Steph grew up together, we went to Five Star Basketball camp. I knew his brothers, his mom, his pops. We actually played for Fat Joe with Terror Squad at the Rucker,” the Villanova product explained. “It was really no issues between us at all until 50 and Fat Joe got into it. “That’s when me and Steph kinda separated. We was actually teammates at this particular time. It was a lot of different things that transpired between those three years of them beefing. I remember Fat Joe being courtside and Steph showing him love. And I’m looking at them like, ‘Damn, I can’t go over there and say what’s up to him?' After appearing in 95 games for the Knicks, Thomas then moved to the Chicago Bulls in 2005 before going on to play for the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks.
