I need y’all to understand that it gets cold af in Coney Island in the winter time. So if he complaining about Minnesota I know that cold different 😂😂😂
Minnesota cold can damage your lungs.
@@nicktaylor1015that’s wild 🤣
Facts
I'm from Canada. Everytime I'm in New York in the Winter people look at me funny. I eat and breathe up that cold 😂. There's different levels 😂.
I’m from Minnesota and live here currently you are absolutely right about this lol
This is why i like these player podcasts! Steph's thought process is like an everyday person, he was more concerned with real life then basketball. This was great to hear
The cold 🥶 is not hard to adapt to. It's no different than adapting to summer. If you're cold, dress up more heavy. If you know you're going out, dress up right ✅️. Wear heavy gloves so your hands not completly freezing. Store your warmth before putting on thermos and going out. Pay attention to the roads and don't just casually drive. Afterwards, the weather is doable. I literally struggled in Minnesota, Washington, South/North Dakota, Wyoming and other places. It made Philly, New York, and other places cold weather seem pathetic in comparison 😒. And this is a Floridian from Miami that's annoyed by 90 degree weather yr round saying this.
@@younglove3362or you can do what people with options do and not live in Minnesota.
That was maybe the last era of basketball where you had alot cool black personalities still in the game.
@@younglove3362shut up
@@kanajingly8957huh???
I was born and raised in Minnesota. Lived in Atlanta and now live in Florida. He stated the EXACT reasons I refuse to move back 😂
Minnesota ain't the place for black people. The racial tensions in that city have not changed since George Floyd situation. It has gotten worse
You wasn't getting millions to be there either😂
@@sireastside6210weren’t * but if you had a choice or desire to live somewhere more suitable and in favor to what you wanted and desired.Would you not?
@@sireastside6210 if you were getting millions wouldn't you move to somewhere more comfortable eventually. Think about it 🤷🏽♂️
Been here for 20 years and every winter I ask myself why I still live here
😂 "it's not a cold front, it's just cold "
That one got me
@@BigstickNickthat’s where all the cold fronts come from😂
He said -40 consistently, I think people think he's exaggerating, he's not exaggerating.
Cold front, cold back, cold top, cold bottom
Now that Steph thoroughly explained his reasoning for leaving MN I get it. Where you are & live is a big part of personal happiness. I'm a firm believer once you become grown you need to do what's best for you so if he wasn't happy there he should have left. You only live once a peace of mind and happiness is very important💯
Interesting to hear this. I always wondered why he left.
I’ve lived in MN most of my life and probably spun out on ice like him 9 or 10 times. You get used to avoiding it or controlling it when it happens, but my heart still skips a beat every time. I can understand not wanting to put up with that.
Thought I was gonna slide right under a semi on 694 when I was 16. At that point I’d had my license for 2 months.
Being from Minnesota I understand exactly where he’s comin from lol
Lmaoooo
Pause
Dont know how to use pause @@user-cr5ts5fl6t
You can call it immature, but I’ve been there & I respect it. Grew up all my life in Ohio, and I just got sick of the winters. I spun out on black ice on a *main road* - that was it for me. I remember being salty that he left KG but I understand, and I’m glad he’s being candid about it.
Man I smacked my first car, a 96 Chevy Caprice, on a street here in Detroit on some black ice.. I went right into the tree and smashed up my hood
@@elbowgang9715bruuuh.. From the city I question why I'm still in Detroit since 85. I left a few times but it's just home but winter is terrible
Y'all should learn how to drive lol
@@andrewf9677 there’s always 1.
@@Soopology driving in winter only requires common sense. Steph's reasoning for going to a terrible Nets squad is flimsy
As 13 year old mini wolf fan in 1999 I don’t think there are words to describe how much it hurt when Stephon left us. We battled through it though. We battled through losing KG and seeing him win one with Boston. We battled through the Al Jefferson years the real ones know that pain. We battled through the Klove, and Rubio years. If you didn’t jump off the ship and you’re still here…it’s our time.
We beating the nuggets😭🔥🤞🏼
Anthony Edwards and The wolves go get you a championship ring bro much love from Chicago 💯💯💯
Passed on Steph twice lol
When Edward’s leave y’all gunna be on suicide watch lol
Ant’s definitely leaving for a bigger market 💯% Minnesota is too small for a Star like Ants so most definitely you’s will be on suicide watch 🤣😂🤪
Nothing is colder than Anthony Edwards in Minnesota right now. The black ice surviving Anthony Edwards.
Game 7 prediction?
Lowkey, black ice should be Ant’s nickname instead of Antman, which is a terrible nickname
@@YoungTCashhow his name is Anthony
Lol
Ehh he ain't did shyt these last 2 games bru has been wack
Bro is aging backwards. One of the greatest PGs to ever do it. Real cool to hear his honest perspective on his whole situation in Minn.
Black dont crack
That and living decades in China where the food is completely different
@@HighTopJop underrated comment,that real Chinese food was probably healthy af
That Asian diet
nahhh thats a clone
It’s really cool to see Steph be honest, reflect on his career and be grateful.
Bro I lived in Minnesota this winter, luckily the snow was light this year, but it got down to like -35 with the wind for a week or two and when it only got back to like 28 above 0 a few weeks after, that shit felt like 60-70 I kid u not.
Right lol mfs wear shorts when it’s 50 out lol 😂
I live in Michigan is it worse?
@@ronniejacksonjr4910 I grew up in Indiana so much more mild than both, but I can say the Minnesota cold seemed to be built different.
Nah I been here my whole life ts facts 😂 it be so cold for so long when it hit 30 it feel like 50 fr
People are pussified.
Wow. I never heard Steph explain this before. I always thought it was because of a contract situation.
it WAS the contract situation, but now some 25 yrs later after reflecting it's "other" things lol.
@@bitcoinbobby4149 Nah the contract wasn't the main issue. It was one of the issues. He didn't like it there. Nobody who's not from Minnesota WANTS to go to Minnesota.
As a Floridian, I don't wanna go north of Florida.
@@dross2200that makes sense.
@@bitcoinbobby4149he just said he was getting a max no matter where he went. Everyone was getting the same max contract.
Marbury looks similar to Too Short in the later years.
your mom look like ac green
Man hell nahh
MAn I cant unsee it now😂😂😂😂😂😂
I go on, and on
Bihhhh
As a life time wolves fan. Good to finally hear the story out from Marbury. I can now understand the situation better. it was always a huge question mark outside of all these rumors going around. I forgive you, thank you for still saying you have love for us.
Maybe you ask him to forgive your misunderstanding for judgment without truly knowing. Also I'm a lifetime wolves fan too🤷♂️
@@SharkPuppet410 i mean, kind of his fault for not sharing, literally the first time anyone from the wolves fan base has heard anything other than the rumors. At least i can understand why he wanted to leave, and i forgive him for leaving. Im also not saying it like he owes me anything, its just a figure of speech.
He left because kg was the franchise. And Steph was always going to be #2. A car accident? Really?
Crying about going from NY cold to Minnesota cold but Garnett is from South Carolina is such a NY thing.
WTF That gotta do with the cost of tea in China?
@@AndreRhoades The fact that I’m gonna have to explain this to you is also a NY thing and it’s sad! 😂 Garnett stayed in MN and he’s from SC and it’s far warmer in SC than NY. So MN coldness was a bigger adjustment for KG than it was for Steph. So Steph is either soft or BSing or both. Also, NYers can’t ever leave NY without crying about how wherever they go isn’t the same as NY. So stay your ass at home! The truth is that NY has a lot of positives sure but compared to a lot of places, it isn’t better. You just want everyone else to think that it is. But NYers especially black NYers want everyone to think that they are something special simply because they’re from NYC. 😂 You make yourselves look stupid. No one is kissing your ass because you choose to live like sardines in NYC. 😂
I feel you completely!!!
Steph and KG is 1 of my biggest what ifs in basketball.
Run-TMC as well
Nah....Shaq & penny
As a NY’er born and raised and around Steph’s age, I knew exactly why he wanted 2 get up outta there. I’ve been 2 MN once and it’s beautiful city but I couldn’t wait 2 get TF back home!! TOO damn cold!!
MN is a state
@@TL2354 Your point is well taken. How much should we value someone who thinks MN is a city. What wimps complaining about the cold! Grow a pair. Put on some layers!
Then bring yo ass back when it's warm not when it's cold Lol😂😂😂😂💯💯💯
So you'll type too but not two? Soft small brains
great reminder that people are people. Young people are young people. Growth is real. I love this clip. I was in MN loving that squad back then. I'm 47 like Steph. I was mad back then and this does actually help me understand. He's grown and is very grounded. All love.
Yeah bro I was born here, love it here, and the winter still fucks me up sometimes I get it man
"Man it's cold 🥶 " took me out lmao that's how I felt in Toronto 😂😂😂
Toronto aint cold try visiting Winnipeg
@@samuelediale6638…or even more north of Winnipeg 🥶💀
I haven't been to Minnie, but seeing that I'm from Northern Can, I get where he's coming from. When your eye lids freeze up, you know it's cold. Nothin' but love for Starbury. My favorite pg ever!
Geographical challenges. I feel that. I’m from Toronto. If the season was played between December to August, and we can squeeze in our summer months, Toronto would be a free agent destination.
Toronto, NYC, Boston are all in the same geographic region so they have the same type of weather year round. Y’all needa look on a map fr lol. Minneapolis and Milwaukee are by far the coldest NBA cities.
As a frequent visitor to NYC, I can confirm, the winter months in Toronto are colder than NYC. The wind chill hits different.
@@1933MB as someone who lives in Toronto and who is a frequent visitor to NYC as well I can confirm it’s not that much of a difference. What feels like 32F in NYC will probably feel like 28F lol.
Toronto is on the great lakes. So. It's really get cold
I agree lol but some people make it seem like it’s Milwaukee or Minnesota cold and it’s not.
I’d rather deal with triple digits than negative temperatures any day ANY DAY😂
I wouldn't. Hot weather sucks
You can add layers for the cold but you can only take so many off when it’s hot AF.
Man said negative 40 errrrday smh
You're crazy
@@klewertin2124that’s no joke. There was a winter back then where nearly the entire month of January was below 0.
Day 1 Wolves fan. I have a lot of appreciation for why he left now. It's cold as balls here man.
I really want to believe him
@@KeepItReal213 I can only take his words at face value.
Stg I'm immune to it now😂😂
grateful for this, he might have shared this before, but I had never heard this ! The media had me convinced it was jealousy! at that time, I was looking forward to growing up with KG&Starbury running with the Wolves; I still can remember that first round exit and Sir Charles giving them the advice
This is a great talk from yall
I was driving a big truck through one of the Dakotas late night and it was so cold the heat felt like the a/c! There’s levels to cold and Steph is 100% correct and I’m from Philly! It’s just different
Lol I’m from mn he not lying
I'm from Atlanta and he was my favorite player from the 96 draft. He lit ATL on fire when he was at GT.
No cap, im from Northern NJ and live 20 mins from NYC and i been to Minnesota back in 2017 and its a different type of cold
Hey Steph, nothing but love now come thru Sota and show us fans and Anthony Edwards some love and support!
KG got the 100mil dollar deal & became
"The Big Ticket" 💰💰💰💰💰 & Murbury got jealous. End of story.
Yup. It's not like he is a kid from Atlanta, where it's always warm.
Marbury sounds like a little girl
This man told you exactly what the deal was, and you are going to interpret it how you want as if you know him? Dudes on the internet be wild strange. SMH
He simply didn’t like living there. It’s nothing new… a lot of athletes will avoid lame cities that’s why places like Minny struggle to attract free agents and the good players they draft usually end up bouncing.
@@Seven9_exchange hahaha bingo!! Because Ant-man seems to like it just fine
nothing but love and respect for steph
I grew up in Minnesota and as a Wolves fan was devastated when Marbury left KG (what might have been) but...back then...when I heard the reason he left was because MN is too cold... I 100% get it. I left the state after college and have not been back since...what he said in this interview is FACTS!
Good to hear him go into more detail about it. Plus it's probably harder establishing a basketball culture on a newer franchise. People are mad, but it's not like Sota is a big free agent destination even 30 years later.
When people leave for weak ass reasons like this is a reason why. What is the point of teams all over the US if everyone wants to be on the West or lower east coast? Green Bay is a big destination for stars in the NFL based on history, but they have an outdoor stadium, and most of the midwest is as cold as MN
I'm from Minnesota. People here have a relationship to cold, that you just don't have, if you've never lived for decades in the cold. Personally, I work outside all winter, in Minnesota. We all complain about it, but we live and push on. Hearing comments from a guy like Marbury about how it's just crazy merely living in Minnesota, for us, gives us a good laugh, and reminds us, we're a lot stronger, at least in this way, than most people on earth. And that's funny! I think back to my great grandparents sometimes and wonder how they lived in Minnesota before modern heating systems in houses, or very good insulation. That's baffling to me. We live in a place where the cold kills people every year. My wife, who's from Hungary, agrees with Stephon Marbury, in thinking we're all a little crazy just for living here.
New York cold enough anything colder is crazy my boy idk how ppl live in Canada either
Cool story. I too wonder how your grandparents survived that type of cold without the technology we have today. Crazy just thinking about it
I live in Phoenix, Arizona, and I can definitely tell you that I’ve lived through some of the harsh summers you can imagine. It gets ridiculously hot here. it’s the same as growing up in Minnesota that if you’re not acclimated to it then it’s a beast to get through.
The way you explain winter in Minnesota is like summer is in Texas, so you wouldn't survive here, and i wouldn't survive there 😂
@@leonidas1794 Ya, the body adapts to the heat and cold. I went to Afghanistan. I remember seeing the thermometer exceeding 125F a few times. I was like "What kind of demon place is this?!?!?!" I come back home, and 100F feels strangely tolerable. If I put you in -40F, you're probably going to feel like you're going to die in 2 minutes. For me, I still get that feeling, but my body has been subjected to this insane cold before and is already churning out a lot of heat. So... I'll feel like dieing too, but it might take 20 minutes... Plus, I won't dress stupid. My work force right now are all people from Ukraine. You'd think fairly cold, right? Meh... marginally... I literally have to teach them all how to dress for the cold, or they will freeze in 30 minutes. Kids here dress with as little clothes as possible, during winter, because only the weak bundle up. While insane from a safety stand point, that's how the body learns this kind of cold is dangerous so GENERATE HEAT!!!
NEEDED THIS-- WAS mad when He left 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I completely understand where he’s coming from, I hooped there in college and the culture shock is crazy lol that cold is a different level!
😂😂As someone who has lived in Minneosta my whole life this is hilarious. Just gotta survive every winter😂😂
It's fun to drive in if you have a subaru
"black ice didn't land on the rode, the rode landed on black ice " 😭
I’m PERSONALLY happy for Steph the man/person. #SALUTE🙌🏾💪🏾
Damn Mero still on this show!!!! I wanna love this episode. Especially for Melo and Marbury.
I'm from Minnesota. And I talked to steph outside the city center one day. He hated it here. It wasn't about the cold because. He could have lived downtown where the sky ways connected and he never had to go outside. He didn't want to diss mn but he hated everything about mn. Not just the cold.
Almost anyone I've ever met from Boston or NYC can never stop talking about how much better it is. Their city is like an ex they can't move on from
Who tf wants to just stay inside everyday
Then Steph is the 1st and only pro athoete to not like it here. So so so many pro athletes end up making minnesota their primary home. Even after retirement cause it is THAT great here. Steph sounds like a clown.
@@kwamecobb2281We don't. I guess someone can man the heck up.
@kwamecobb2281 not like that. I'm saying he could have lived downtown. Where he ain't have to drive.
That Midwest cold hit different 😂
This make my heart so happy. I knew bro since JP Vincent. I come back every now and then when I’m up not when I’m down.
Born and raised in MN and still live here, 31. I understand what he's saying. Minnesota is a dope place to live. Only reason I'm moving in about a year because I'm done with the cold.
I wonder why Steph or the Timberwolves simply didn't hire a driver.
That would’ve been a quick fix, he wanted to get paid!
because hes just bullshitting here
Well I mean that doesn’t stop the roads from having black ice and being damgerous
In fairness, he wasn't saying that was the only reason. The weather, the racial mix, the cap situation
Driver stops cold and black ice how Again?
Can they put him in the hall of fame already
Hell no
@@shyne1308 he’s a hall of famer tho, unquestionable
@@antione I liked his game but he not hall of fame level.

Bruh.. 8-month-long winters are absolutely no joke. I ain't mad at him.
Four months top in Minnesota. I've lived here for 40 years. 8 mouths, WTF?
@@mikehanzal9562 Sheeeeeid! It's cold from October to May for someone who's not used to it
After all these years I thought it was the contract, but yeah, we get it Steph. Minnesota cold ain’t for everyone. The winter his rookie year was horrendous and black ice will make you shit your paints. 😂
Bro lying his ass off
if you live in Minnesota, we drive different in winter. he was probably doing 75-80 on them winter roads not caring
@@richborn6700 dude was scared for his life on those roads, what do you mean not caring? He just didn't know how to drive on those roads.
@@kaydee1485 facts, it can get so cold that the exhaust from cars freezes on the road, especially over bridges. That’s probably what got him. There’s really no “teaching” how to drive on that, other than to go slow and allow braking space.
@g.o.a.tsports2880 You never lived in a bad climate then.
It was always in the back of my mind why he left. Same with the Kincks. I watched him play in Singapore here and there. Guy still had it. Im glad he cleared this up. Marbury was one of my favorites! Man Marbury at Pheonix ??? With Amare, and Marion?? Whoo that was something.
Marbury is a G he hsd the game and the swag..
One of my fave pg to watch
I loved marbury shoes in the knicks colors
Mannnnnn get him a couple Carhartt & NorthFaces and provide him with a god damn driver who knows how to drive on winter roads.
KG prolly jogging to practice in a tank top like “toughen up !!” 😂
Facts. Mentality wasn't right
Sincerely love you Steph
Your my PG Goat!
When Chris Cornell said, "I'm looking California / And feeling Minnesota," he knew XD
I was in Minnesota for one year and I witnessed 70 degrees below zero weather. ..I'm from Texas!!😂
70 degrees below zero ??? I'm in Texas now,couldn't live with that-COLD-tho. LOL.
The reaction when he was traded opened my eyes about the entire state.
I understand Marbury very well.... I'm a black guy from Portugal, sunny most of the time....
I suffered a lot, with the weather of Norway... so so cold!!
(but the people over there, are great, and Norway is beautiful!)
I still remember that big shot Marbury hit at the buzzer to win the playoff game vs the Spurs. That Suns team was raw with Marbury, Amare, Joe Johnson and Marion. They were certainly fun to watch! I still have my throwback Suns Marbury jersey and wear it with pride to this very day. Wish nothing but the best to Marbury.
Im from Milwaukee Wisconsin right next door from Minnesota. Milwaukee got that " Man... I ain't trying to go out in that cold " Minneapolis got that "Glory Hallelujah Lord take me now cold" 💯
I grew up 40 miles east of Coney Island on Long Island. I also thought it was cold until I lived in Milwaukee from 2003 - 2007. I was ready to leave after the first winter.
STEPH AIN'T LYING!! Everybody in my family busted their ass on black ice at least twice. Had to get winched outta snow three times after sliding off the road. Car door frozen shut. Big snow storm on New Years left a pile in the back of the parking lot that didn't melt until April!!! Never living up north again, ever.
I was raised in Amityville,NY. I remember snow and cold but nothing like Midwest winters.
I lived in Milwaukee as a kid and those 414 winters are different.
@restEZmo it's because we sit directly underneath the vortex zone 💯💯💯

Stephan left Kevin because KG got the big money and when it was his turn the money was less.
This narrative is completely wrong... knowing personally this story was true also family things was going in coney that made him come closer......
Htf you know 🤔

Real down to earth dude I met him a few time when he played for the nets they use to do a lot with the boys and girls clubs in NJ. I even played one on one with Keith vanhorn
We were looking at the Modern Day John Stockton & Karl Malone duo reincarnated . It was that good.
So..... you were hoping to go to the Finals but never win a ring?
6% black people??? What Minneapolis is he talking about?!
Exactly people really don't know shit about minnesota or Minneapolis n St.Paul in general let alone Minnesota but everybody slowly findin out how misleading that math is the more they come here when it's warm outside 💪💪💪✡️✡️✡️🔱🔱🔱💯💯💯

He was great for Minnesota. He handled business and then kicked rocks. ALL LOVE!!! TOP TEN GUARDS OF ALL TIME! 💥💥💥
It was absolutely the contract, this revisionist stuff.
He lying like shit. You can just tell. He was young and selfish and that’s it. It’s all good though. Starbury ⭐️
KG and Steph is my favorite duo under 21 ever! Amazing!

He wanted to go play for the Knicks from the get go and they did him dirty just like they did Carmelo.
Be careful what you wish for, he would've been the legend he is China in Minnesota.
I was born and raised in Minnesota. I still live in Minnesota. Once I move, I’d never comeback. There’s elements I love about the cities (Minneapolis-St. Paul) and the surrounding suburbs that are diverse. But yes, the weather is mainly the issue. This is from someone who loved the snow growing up. For me, there was a point where it just wore on me. I believe it’s adulting and realizing I have to commute through it. Everyone transplant I know from the east coat share the same sentiment. They thought they were used to the cold until they experienced Minnesota. It gets windy here during the Minnesota winters. At times, they don’t plow the sidewalks depending on what suburbs you’re at.
I’m from MN, and I live out west now. He is right. When it is cold it does affect your life. I didn’t realize how much it affects it until I went back for a funeral, it dropped to 28 degrees and I was I was reminded.
28 degrees? Lol😅 that's beach weather.
Both these guys had the perfect spot but their ego wouldn't fit. Drove them to go home and never sniff greatness again. Carmelo could have left Denver as a free agent but his ego said "NO, trade the whole Knicks line up for me, I'm the man". They both would have a chip if they stayed with the team that drafted them. Doesn't always work out, that's why I've never felt bad for Melo, he chose induvial success over the team.
I'm an Alabama native who's been calling the Twin Cities home for 7 years now. Personally, I love it here. Like Marbury said, the summers are beautiful (just not as long)! The Falls and Winters are too. My only gripe is Spring. As a born & raised southerner, I'm ready for Spring weather in March & April. But here, we may get 10 inches of snow. 😂
But regarding Marbury's experience, I get it. Minnesota isn't for everyone. You may have to invest in an AWD or snow tires. Me, I just put sand bags on the back of my truck during the winter and I don't have any issues. But boi, I wish he would get back involved with the T'Wolves organization somehow because it is A LOT for Marbury in the Twin Cities. In the words of Antman: "Believe Dat!" 🐜🐺💙💚
As you’ve probably learned we have about five fake springs before actual spring comes lol

We were sad to see him leave. He was a great player
Minnesota a dope place. Moved from the South ten years ago.
As a person who lives in Minnesota, someone tell what make NY cold different?
It's below freezing for longer in Minnesota. That's why he was talking about like after a couple a months it ain't that bad, but it ain't like that in Minnesota.
I’m from ct nd I’ve lived in Minnesota! The difference is not that crazy! Nd nigga u play in the nba! Just stay in the crib for winter nd can’t be that hard!
@@SengokuNoMaou minnesota is farther north than nyc. also nyc has a lot of large buildings/concrete in close proximity, which act as a heat island. year round it's a few degrees hotter inside the city of new york than the immediate surrounding areas.

We don’t have penguins during our cold season.

Midwest winters hit different it’s just a whole different animal
From minny and i will tell you got be different living here stg🥶🥶🥶
Low key don’t know if I’m buying his story 😂🤷🏽♂️
I just love that he speak chinese. Starbury a legend
Marbury is the epitome of all talent, no heart.
He left Minnesota because he didn’t want to play robin to KG as Batman. Was jealous of KG new contract, demanded a trade because endorsements opportunities/ closer to family then got shipped to New Jersey and never made the playoffs there.
Yawn. I lived in Minnesota during the time he played there. “It’s cold” is lame as hell but I expect that of him
His recollection is NOT what happened. He wanted more than what KG was getting. Multiple sources reported this. It was all really a ploy to get out of Minnesota. He left an up and coming team just to go home.
Not to mention, being in the NBA. He was mostly indoors and spent about 50% of the winter out of state. I'm not buying it.
As someone who grew up in TX I totally get where he's coming from. Aint no way I could handle all that cold 😂
Midwest cities/states are cold in the winter however many championships have went through the Midwest regardless of the weather. But I respect his opinion.
🧢, he left cuz he was jealous of KG's contract
He was gonna get the same type of contract he’s telling you what happened but I guess you know more about his situation
Could be a mixture of all the above
Maybe not necessarily jealousy but it just gave him more of a reason to want to leave because it wasn’t like he could get more money from them than anybody else. So if that was the case and he had reservations about living there what was going to keep him there? Ultimately it’s better he told them and they were able to get some value vs him just leaving after 3 years for nothing
FOH those reports been disputed
