The most underrated Sun. I feel like there's a distance between him and the franchise. He deserves more from the organization!!! Ring of honor soon!!!!
My favourite player and the most underrated player ever. He had all the skills. Speed, strength, anticipation. At his peak he averaged 20 points and 10+ rebounds, a double double in other terms. This was the season he was pushed up to number 4 because of Amare’s knee surgery. Shawn stepped up big. He could shoot 3s, block, steal as well as do all the things that the big name players in the media could do. He did get a championship deservedly but with the Mavs not the Suns sadly. He’ll always be my favourite Suns player.
Reason why he didn't get Championship with suns. Missed a couple players in draft. In 2002 prince or boozer. Tim Thomas I though they needed to sign. Suns made small crucial mistakes.
The Matrix was one of the most unique players in the history of basketball: an athletic beast that could do everything on the floor while never lacking the energy to compete and do whatever it takes for his team.
i remember a time when amare was hurt, sean was in the talk for mvp..of the league...put on a run that was amazin when they traded him for shaq, i knew the run was over😢
For the ones that don’t know how Shawn Marion got the name “Matrix” was because of Kenny smith form TNT called him that one time and it just stuck with him ever since, but he is and will always be my all time favorite Phoenix Sun, he did it all just look at his box score every night sucked that he couldn’t have won at least 1 championship with the Suns!
I remember that. It was back in Marion’s rookie season that Kenny gave him that nickname. Not surprising at all especially since Kenny also game Vince Carter one his famous nicknames (Half Man, Half Amazing).
I use to think this dude was trash, but after I watched the matrix highlights I was like whaaaaaa!!!! This guy was on another level! Shawn Marion is truly a great player without a doubt I would take a young Shawn Marion over a lot a great players! That’s NO JOKE!
Kenny Smith gave him that nickname during Marion’s rookie season in 1999-00 season. Kenny is also responsible for one of Vince Carter’s nicknames (Half Man, Half Amazing).
Shawn Marion should have been Defensive Player of the Year at least a couple times. I`d been a fan Since 68 but lost interest when they traded The Matrix
Underworld Films but Shaq? He came off an injury plagued year. I get he had a good 2009 season but they never had any success when he was there and were better off without him when he left. They could’ve played Matrix and the 4 and Amare at center
Paul Percudani thinks Zion is going to be a bust because of his knees! Another xavior McDaniel! Percudani thinks Zion will be the biggest tease ever! Just to fall apart with knee injuries
Well dad you never were even mentioned in this blog. Percudani isn't the suns scout the suns draft Jason terry!!! We all knew you were the one behind the Phoenix Suns success!! God I wish I could get your opinion on Zion. Zion in my mind is going to be a huge bust!!

You know the game. Marion was a freak. A guy who could do everything. Number 1 pick who suns knapped at 9.
Reason why he didn't get Championship with suns. Missed a couple players in draft. In 2002 prince or boozer. Tim Thomas I though they needed to sign. Suns made small crucial mistakes.
Beautifully said, man he was special, and I was fortunate too meet him multiple teams, such a nice guy!
A total professional. Since Michael Finley, the Suns lacked an athletic swingman. It was a joy to have it back alongside of Kidd and then Steve Nash.
Well if Brian didn't trade away Kidd the suns had a huge chance of winning it all.
They’d never gotten Stoudemire

This dude was so understated

i never really thought of him as anyone special until i focused on how he shoots the ball. i became an instant fan.
Prime shawn I TAKE ON MY TEAM ANY DAY !!

Here Reppin North Chicago IL, home of the Matrix
How did he get the nickname “The Matrix” it’s such a sick name

The Matrix Shawn Marion 31
Kelly oubre jr kinda reminds me of the matrix

They shouldve traded Amare for Shaq...instead of the Matrix!!!
They shouldn't have traded anyone for Shaq. Wtf are you talking about?
@@jujuju948 Yes...they needed a big man....
Underworld Films but Shaq? He came off an injury plagued year. I get he had a good 2009 season but they never had any success when he was there and were better off without him when he left. They could’ve played Matrix and the 4 and Amare at center
Shouldn’t have traded ANYBODY for Shaq. Messed up the chemistry within the team.
@@DTS_I I agree...but Im saying...If you have to trade anyone for Shaq....Its Amare....because he didnt play defense like the Matrix!!
Does anybody think he's a Hall of Famer? I think borderline a case could be made.
San Antonio locked him up in the playoffs everytime
san antonio had a hall of fame coach and arguably the greatest pf ever
Bruce Bowen shut his ass down in 2005.
