Welcome Shawn Marion #31

[Andrew]

his days in PHX were exciting, that offense was crazy. He is a veteran, I have no doubt he will have a moment or two in the postseason.

 

[LuNcHBoX]

These days whenever I see Marion play I think of Phillip Seymour Hoffman from Along Came Polly.

 

[Kbiz]

Oh Marion....why couldn't you have come to this decision sooner?...like before this season.

 

[Jordan]

Do you guys think he will be a HOFer?

 

[kosis]

Do you guys think he will be a HOFer?

His numbers say he should be.

 

[Jordan]

His numbers say he should be.

I totally agree. He's never been a favorite player of mine to watch, yet, he was great in both Phoenix and Dallas as a star who developed into a role player.

 

[mrbeaks]

I want to argue that he should've made at least one All-Defensive team, but that's kind of hard to do when you play in the era of Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.

 

[Out of the Rafters at the Q]

Do you guys think he will be a HOFer?

No. He's simply a player who you'll remember as good, a borderline all-star at times. He'll be forgotten with the likes of Antoine Walker, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Latrell Spreewell and the like.

 

[Snarly]

No. He's simply a player who you'll remember as good, a borderline all-star at times. He'll be forgotten with the likes of Antoine Walker, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Latrell Spreewell and the like.

Who is that?... Anyways so many good players that are forgotten I am trying to think of more. A newer player like Redd and is one oh and Jamal Mashburn is another that comes to mind

 

[RebelBballownzu]

not many guys in pro sports get to decided when they are done playing. I am happy for the matrix

Have to disagree. He'll be remembered in a more positive light if only for his role with the Mavs in their title run. That shouldn't be the case either because he was a far better player than any of those guys. None of those three were two-way players. Marion could guard any position, and guard it well. It's a shame Phoenix never made a finals because he was probably the 2nd most important piece to those teams.

 

[Kypus]

This sucks. Literally my favorite player of the last 15+ yrs, and he's retiring as soon as we get him. I wanted to see him run beside Andy off the bench next year, and now it won't happen.

 

[The Oi]

No. He's simply a player who you'll remember as good, a borderline all-star at times. He'll be forgotten with the likes of Antoine Walker, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Latrell Spreewell and the like.

A borderline all star at times? He's a four time All Star who played a bunch of playoff games and consistently put up seasons Along the lines of:

20ppg, 10rpg, 2stls, 1.5blks on 45-50% fg, 35% 3pt and 85% FTs.

There's probably only 2-3 guys each year that put up numbers like that, if that.

He should be a sure-fire HOF'er in my book.

 

[The Red Viper]

Absolutely.

A definite hall of famer for me as well. Isn't a first ballot hall of famer but he has to be there. Hopefully, The Matrix can retire with a ring.
