Maybe that huge dunk/offensive foul that ended up on posters….but not much is it?

He did get buckets….and created a number of them himself despite not having that reputation. Obviously he lives of those outside the offense random buckets but he could do more than finish. Real plug and play guy. Could probably start 3-4-5 for you today depending on the matchup. Switch and do an average or above job on literally the entire nba. Embiid and a few bigs could muscle him and some guards would be quicker but not enough in either case to have those guys going off in unusual ways because of the switch. I’ve seen him guard Tony Parker and Duncan and Tmac and Yao in the same games. He’s a “switch everything” eras ideal defender. Even in Dallas he was out there with multiple game winning defensive plays and playing a big role(though he, Kidd, Chandler, and Peja have since melted away into nameless peons when people talk about the 11 Mavs as if Jason Terry was all Dirk had).
Im not sure Marion got his due credit at any point.

Dallas Marion was solid even if not always spectacular or being talked about.
I’m not sure Jason Terry was actually better at basketball than Dallas Marion but that drags us into a whole “Is scoring more performing better” conversation that never goes anywhere.
I don’t have any particular point here other than to mention his name and see if anyone else cares to chime in. I just kinda liked his game. It grew on me after a while on offense. If I must do the forum thing and give you something to reply to I’ll add this….
Id take prime Marion over at least 4 people on the all nba team this year. Feel free to give me your count if you have one….
