Bleacher Report Shawn Marion Diss

Shawn makes the 10 Most Fundamentally Challenged NBA Players list:

"The Matrix" is known as one of the better man to man defenders in the league, but it's not because he took the time to learn the defensive slide.

Shawn Marion was blessed with amazing athletic skill and great size. The 6'9" Marion also is a lot quicker than most people his size and even on par with most guards.

That is what made Marion a great defender, along with his incredible wing-span and his ability to make up ground after getting beat off the dribble, because he gets beat off the dribble a lot.

Those are all points that could very well be argued, his shot is not. For years Marion surprised people by hitting that shot at a decent clip, but the proof is in the pudding.

The last couple of years that shot stopped falling and Marion's shooting percentage went with it. He should benefit playing with the up-tempo Dallas Mavericks this year, and maybe he can learn a thing or two from Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd."

I would LOVE for Marion to publicly admit that he was wrong for his demands (3yr/60M) and come back to phx for the MLE.

i would love for him to admit it privately to a therapist or his dog and then come back to PHX for the MLE. uhhh.. that is, if you could undo his dallas contract. after that he wont be worth the MLE..

Yup - now, he was a really fine player before Nash arrived but that was truly a perfect marriage of talents and team style, for both of them (and Stat as well.) Trix just has not looked quite as impressive since he left, though he played well for TO last year.
Do you think it's just down to him beginning to lose his crazy athleticism, and being in a system that doesn't reward him they way PHX did?
