    He deserved it. He is grabbing double-doubles almost every game (only three games without one)! It's the second player of the week this year for the Suns hopefully there will be more to come!

    Definately deserved it, he's holding his own at PF, and he's gotten in the flow on the offense and continues to be a beast on the glass. The team is just in a zone right now, hope they can keep it up...

    Marion, is detroying opponents in my fantasy league. I have him on one of my rosters. To think I almost traded him for Marbury.

    How could you even think of such a trade, Marion has always been a top 5-10 fantasy player while Marbury is about top 20-30.

    Props to Marion, he's one of the most underrated players in the league so it's nice to see him get some well deserved recognition. He's always been overshadowed in Phoenix, but he puts up double doubles every night and is responsible to defend the opponents best scoring SG or SF.
