For as divisive as his case may be, former Dallas Mavericks forward Shawn Marion has a strong argument for a Hall of Fame induction. A decorated player who epitomizes the versatility that has become the standard for modern forwards, Marion is toeing the line of basketball immortaility.
Though some might argue to the contrary, Marion is inching closer to becoming the next Mavericks legend to enter the Hall of Fame.
Marion played 16 NBA seasons, including five in Dallas. During that time, he became the proverbial Swiss army knife, capable of contributing in every phase of the game and providing unrivaled versatility on the defensive end of the floor.
