Stephon Marbury’s point rampage has not yet extended to ratings points. The ratings for Marbury’s premiere TV talk show with Kobe Bryant, “Stars on Stars” received a .1 rating (75,000 homes).

While that would seem modest, a FoxSportsNet spokesman said the total is 15 percent higher than the programs shown in that Friday time slot the past three months.

Marbury’s second show is today at 4:30 p.m. Knicks superfan/filmmaker Spike Lee will be Marbury’s guest. The show will be replayed Sunday at 2 p.m. and Monday at 3:30 p.m.

Knicks assistants Dave Hanners and Phil Ford, the two holdovers from Larry Brown‘s staff, declined to comment yesterday on reports that Brown is a top candidate to join forces with Michael Jordan as the Bobcats’ head coach. Ford and Hanners, Brown disciples and UNC graduates, have had the awkward task of remaining on Thomas’ staff this season, despite Thomas’ reported dislike for Brown. Owner James Dolan did not want to fire Hanners and Ford because that would have meant a payoff of the four years left on their pact.

The refusal of Ford and Hanners to comment yesterday comes only days after Dolan gave a very detailed explanation of the club’s media policy, in which he stated New York’s beat writers attempt to drive a wedge within the team.
