Everybody kept praising Nash on this Suns team (and well deserved, no doubt) but it was the Matrix who was doing it all: defense, scoring, rebounding, running the floor... He was the major catalyst in the Suns' effective run and gun offense.
Run back the numbers and he was arguably the best player on that 05 squad. Even Amar'e had better overall numbers. Nash was the floor general and leader on offense so that bumps his value. But, that was a big 3 if there ever was one. And it's not certain that Nash was the best player on the team during those mvp seasons.
@@J-Hue That's a fair point to make if you're looking only at the numbers. And the numbers never tell the whole tale. The thing with Marion was that he would never put his ego before the team, which is why he stepped up his game when Amare was lost for the season and someone was needed to carry the team.
He was the most important piece of those teams in my opinion. While Nash and Amare got most of the accolades and highlight reel plays, Matrix very quietly did all the dirty work and anchored the defense. They absolutely needed a player like him to round things out and do the little things that the others weren't willing or able to do.
One of the most underrated players ever.
5:45 best slip screen you will ever see
He's one of the best SF in the leauge on his prime.
PH 5555 he was a power forward for the Suns at his best
His form is beautiful

Yeah he's like a much better version of Draymond Green with a more uglier shot

That game intro @ 0:17 gave me some real nostalgia
5:56 that fvkin pass. STEVE FREAKIN NASH
4:42 Smart play on the screen by Marion. Even D'Antoni knew there's a time and place you don't HAVE to go for 3
5th Ballot Hall of Famer.
This dude is incredible in defense
this is MDA's system changing the game of basketball forever
his jumpshot look like a chest pass
12 years later here I am reminiscing on how different the league was back then! Not that it’s bad now just change over time!
he was so explosive with his first step
Hell yea it was fast asf
Can anybody shoot with this guy in 2k
Uncle Drewww I went 3 for 11 with him on 2k lol I just stop shooting with him
He shoots 53% from three for me
I do. But when wide open only like the defender was so far away lol.. Hes has lazer three if you ask me, quick release like ray allen rofl

Scottie Pippen is a Glorified Shawn Marion
GLO • ENT the disrespect
GLO • ENT nope
he moves so much like LeBron if you look close
You look at him move and you wonder how his shots even go in
Bionic athleticism!
Pascal is that you
38 and 16? Those are prime Shaq numbers.
He was averaging almost 22 and 12 at the time with 2 steals and almost 2 blocks. The dude was a monster.
