We don't really value rebounding from SFs and defense is always underrated, but Marion was one of those top-25 players of all time in defense/rebounding.

Constantly snubbed for all defensive team(prolly because he played for Phx, then us), rebounded extremely well for a 3 and small 4. If he had been in a slower paced offence like the Grizz I think he would have gotten more credit as a defender prolly. He's super underrated even for a guy who I think is going to be in the hall eventually, but prolly take a few times. The guy deserved to make one freaking all defensive team ffs.
