SHAWN "THE FREAK" MARION (over a four game span) <font color=""Red""><font size=""7""><font face=""Arial Black"">33.5 Points 18.75 Reb 2.25 Ast 2.25 Stls 2.0 Blks</font></font></font> The fact that nobody in here is talking about this is sad. He is clearly the most underrated player in the league. Wake up and smell the Marion people, you might just have the best player in the league, and I'm not talking about last year's mvp or the injured guy.
The reason nobody talks about Marion is because he doesn't really have a post-up game but WHO CARES post-up games are overrated. The other reason nobody talks about Marion is because he's in such a high-octane offense and Nash finds him, he'd suck if he DIDN'T average over 20 points a night. But you're right he is underrated. I've woken up and I've smelled "The Marion" as you put it.
He may not have the traditional post up game, but his game in the post is really good, simply on the grounds of his athletic ability. When he's there, nobody can jump as high as him, and even if he misses, he's the first back up to get a tip-in. I say people start rallying Marion for MVP instead of Nash who since the All-Star seems to have lost some steam.
