Dallas Mavericks Top 10: #5- Shawn Marion

Related Topics: Shawn Marion, Dallas Mavericks

Of all the Dallas Mavericks that have been on the list so far, none may have been as versatile and uniquely gifted as Shawn Marion. Now I don’t say that because of the very unusual shooting form that Marion used throughout his career, but rather his knack of being able to do a little bit of everything well without excelling in any areas aside from individual defense.

Shawn Marion maybe had the greatest playoff run of any player not named Dirk Nowitzki in the 2011 NBA playoffs. Although his numbers don’t really jump out of the page, his defense on the likes of Brandon Roy, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James.
