I remember several courtside interviews during his suns time when i barely understood a word he was saying

Hard times for the foreign mavs fans but if that is the price

Marion should wear then the 13. Like Dirk did with 14/41

Yea thought bout the same thing, though carroll wears 13. I'm sure he can bribe carroll to take his number.

I just pitched it to Marion on his twitter to take 11 like he wore for Team USA, wonder if he will go for it. 11 would look pretty good actually.

:edit: doh just realized JJB has 11.

Marion just went on one hell of a rant! lol

Jon Avalon · 07-10-2009, 03:37 PM

Some of you are right, he can't put a full sentence together (well kinda can but a little too much gibberish), somewhat hard to understand. But can make out what he is saying lol.

BGMaverick9 · 07-10-2009, 03:46 PM

Highlights:

He's very excited to reunite with Kidd. With offense, it's good to have plays but you just need to let loose and play basketball and take advantage of what it out there. If things break down, then you go to plays.

The offense is exciting, but he's more interested to see how the defense plays out.

Had a quick conversation with Dirk yesterday. Dirk said he's glad he doesn't have to be guarded by Marion anymore. They didn't get into major specifics but they'll talk more hoops when Dirk gets back into the states.

He views Dallas as right up there in the mix with the West Elite.

He doesn't think any big deals are coming any time soon, maybe just some minor tweaks.

Jet said if Marion wants #31...it's his.

oh dang. I'm liking that kinda talk from a real defensive stud! Its one thing when Dirk or JT say it...but its a VERY different thing when Matrix says it.

Hey Underdog you realize that in your sig it looks like Marion is posterizing the crap outta Dirk right lol, Not that he hasn't done that before...

Yeah, people used to say the same thing about the Stack pic too... I need new images, but no point in doing that until everyone has actually put on a Mavs uni...

Wow Jet let Matrix wear no.31?

He said it, yup. Jet said it won't cost a penny from Marion to do it but Marion said he'd pay up for it. The #31 is Marion's "thing" it's all over his twitter, website and etc.

That's a possibility. In the NFL, when Chad Johnson legally changed his name to Chad Ochocinco, I think they gave him the option of continuing to wear his original jersey or buying out all applicable merchandise. Not positive on that, but I remember something similar happening.

jthig32 · 07-10-2009, 05:27 PM

Man...is Marion going to screw up the only authentic NBA jersey I own?

Granted I didn't buy it. But still.

sike · 07-10-2009, 05:41 PM

I'm going to ask that people stop pretending to know that Marion is losing or HAS LOST a step bc of turning 31. Some guys drop off a cliff...some guys stay strong. Lets wait to judge Marion on his play.

I forgot to mention he also said he feels very capable of doing what he did at age 25 while being 31. He just has to be aware of what's going on with his body and train properly.

Yeah, I see no reason why an NBA player HAS to start losing a step in their early 30s. I think a lot of them do because they don't know how to train, and have gotten by due to being blessed with natural athleticism. Those who are training hard and training smart might be able to prolong that athleticism. I have no way of knowing if Shawn Marion is taking those steps, but he could be.

he consistently played 41 minutes a night in one of the fastest paced offenses in the league and guarded the opposing teams best front court scorer on the other end. His work ethic and cardio have never been questioned either.

Well he does come from that vaunted Phoenix physical rehab expertise. Which strangely enough, there does seem to be something to it. They keep rehabilitating players that you think are done.

he was one of the people who claimed to have been able to touch the top of the back board at one point. i dont think anyone can let alone him but his hops have never been questioned.

After listening to that interview, I now know two things about Shawn.

#1 Shawn Marion is pumped to be here.

#2 Shawn Marion is on crack.

He's funny, I liked the part about the issues of long-distance rates for calls to Germany, "Oh, I think we can handle that."
