Suns 5-On-5: Looking Back On Shawn Marion’s Career
1. What did Shawn Marion mean to the Suns during his time in Phoenix?
Gerald Bourguet (@GeraldBourguet): Marion’s scoring numbers never jumped off the page, but his all-around impact and defensive excellence are what made those Suns teams passable on that end of the floor. He was the versatile, do-it-all guy who ran the floor and was severely underrated by a lot of people outside of Phoenix.
He has an unconventional Hall of Fame case, but he also joins Kevin Garnett, Hakeem Olajuwon and Karl Malone as the only players in NBA history to tally at least 17,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, 1,500 steals and 1,000 blocks, so…put him in the damn Hall of Fame.
