About Steve:
He is a really smart guy, serious and knows much about life. He wants to give everything he can on the court and he plays everything like it is his last chance to play it. Every game for him is a highlight, and he plays with a really good style. The fans like him, he likes the fans, and everything is clear. He also has his bad sides, he can be a little immature at some times, when he doesn't get what he wants, but that comes up only sometimes, and this mostly is because of a reason.
His game is compared to superstars like Allen Iverson, Steve Nash and Stephon Marbury, and this is mainly because of his defensive skills, and the team leading skills. Actually you can't compare him to AI much, since he ain't such a scorer, he looks to pass first and make his team mates up, and he doesn't want to take bigger shots himself. He knows if there is something to do, he will do it.
His best sides are his speed, quickness and dribbling skills, which are totally amazing and which may be real hard to defense on even the best defenders in the league.
His best friends in the league are Chris Bosh, Rojan Rondo and Rasheed Wallace, though he gets along with most people.

Interview when he got to NBA as a FA -

Q: Hi Steve, how does it feel now as a NBA player coming from college ?
A: It's okay.. I like it.
Q: You are a free agent, which team would you like to sign to ?
A: I would like to play for a good team that would play my game style or in the same team with some of my friends.. Maybe the Raptors ?
Q: So the Raptors. What would you do in your team, what role would you take ?
A: I would just try to fit myself in there you know. Just try to play and when I find out myself in the team, then it's.. you know, okay.
Q: Anything more you would like to say ?
A: I wanna thank my fans for helping me to come to this league, I will do my best and try to find myself as a good player here.
Q: Thank you, this was Steve Marshall, a hot rookie.
A: Okay.

-

Well, that's what I am going to start. I will play dynasty, and just I hope I can sign him with a good team and so, I will start writing his diaries about every week and so.

I haven't started anything yet, just created his looking and did something here and there, and I like his looking a lot. I hope I will succeed with it.
I hope you like it, thanks.

Well, it has been tried a few times (about once every 3 months or so) but never was too successful. Good luck though.

It's time.

Diary, 1st day.

Today I have been signed to the Minnesota Timberwolves for 28.76 millions for a 5 year contract. They have made trades with the Utah Jazz and Philadelphia 76ers to get a spot for me, and the money. I am really happy that they wanted me. They have played 3 games this season and they have won 2, but they lost to San Antonio. I hope I will get along with them well, and I have heard that I am a started in front of M. Jaric.
I am happy to play with stars like Al Jefferson and veteran Antonie Walker. They have also got a nice young player, Kyle Korver from Utah, and they have a young talented player, Gerald Green as a starter also. I hope this team will work well.

Interview to TNT. 13:30

Q: Hello there mr. Marshall, how are you doing ?
A: I'm doing well.. you know, all this new stuff around me, moving to Minnesota from my last hometown Boston where I moved.. you know all that, I like it, really cool.
Q: What is your main goal ?
A: The championships.. for sure, the championships, I will do my best to win this title and every single game.
Q: Who do you look forward to play with the most ?
A: I think Al Jefferson, he is probably the key player.
Q: Will you be the rookie of the season ?
A: I don't know.. There are a lot of good players like Durant, Horford and all those guys.. we'll see about it.
Q: Thanks for the interview, good luck in your season.
A: Okay.

Interview to ESPN. 14:15

Q: Good day there Steve. How does it feel to be a timberwolf ?
A: G'day, it's okay.
Q: What will you do in the team ?
A: Well, not sure, I am going to do my best to win those games, but I will let others take big shots for the team, I guess.
Q: I heard there are some businesses looking to be sponsors for you, is it true ?
A: It is.. it is, Adidas and Reebok offered wanted to be the sponsors, not sure about which one will I take yet, both are doing good sport's wears.
Q: Your jersey number is now changed to #10 because one of your teammates had #8 already, is it a problem ?
A: No.
Q: Well, we will hear from you again ?
A: Just listen.
Q: (laughing) Alright, good luck with your season, thanks for the interview. This was our superrookie Steve Marshall.
A: No problem's.

Signing a life contract with Reebok. 18:00

The young superstar has announced his decision, and he has signed a life sports contract with Reebok, who will make him signature shoes, and other gear in need.
As long as the sponsors are working on the signature shoes, he is going to wear Reebok S. Carter's. The signature shoes might take time to three weeks, but probably is going to be only one, if not less.

Pictures.

egh- a good idea in theory, but do you think an undrafted rookie is going to be considered a real candidate for rookie of the year before the year begins? With such low expectations, he'd have to do really well for anyone to put him in the same category as Durant.. 79 ovrl is a bit high and he wouldn't be getting paid more money than the #1 ovrl draft pick.. Plus he probably wouldn't get a multiple shoe deal proposals.. Anyways, the presentation is good, so good luck, we'll see how it turns out..

I agree with Chaser. It makes no sense. How does an undrafted rookie all of the sudden get a huge contract, is considered for ROY and is a hyped star?

Actually atleast 10, and I play like 8 minute quarters so the game is realistic. Would be realistic, though I might start it from 0 and make it more realistic, what you guys think, should I ?
