Is Shawn Marion a fringe Hall of Famer?

[Reggie]

Shawn Marion has had a good career and at one point probably was a top 15 or 20 player in the league. But at no point have i ever considered him as a hall of fame type caliber player.

 

[Roid Jones]

Nah, but at one point in time he could have been considered the best SF in the league.

 

[Digga38]

Yall forgetting how he locked down yall gawd Lebron during the finals...for that alone he should get some votes

 

[Lefty Gunz]

Nah, but at one point in time he could have been considered the best SF in the league.

When?

 

[Yayo Toure]

NBA HOF ain't open to everyone...Marion had a good career but there are alot of players better than him that never made it. Unorthodox playing style aside, his stats are a product of a system, a system which has yielded 0 championships.

And what year was this?

Around the time when Pierce, Peja, Artest, Mashburn, and him were the best at that position

I've always liked Marion but if Bernard King can't get in there's no way in hell Marion will

Solid career but if you think about it he was never even the best player on his team

GOT DAMN RIGHT!

 

[threattonature]

Hell no.

The HOF should be for only the greats of all time. They can't let above average players in the HOF.

This is my problem with the hall. When it all boils down to it I think if someone makes the hall they should have for a decent stretch of their career have been considered a top 10 player. fukk all this stuff with looking at cumulative stats. I take all-NBA awards as a big indicator of that.

[ManBearPig]

maybe.

 

[Loose]

College?

it's called BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME

 

[JMurder]

Never even thought about this.

Marion hasnt had a better career than Jamison.

His lane is filled with guys Luol Deng, Caron Butler, richard jeffeson,

Jamision has had a better career than all of them and i never thought he should get in.

I dont get the Chris Webber comparion, either....

You cannot just say something like this without stats to back it up

How are rebounds, blocks and steals a product of a system?

they play at a faster pace, giving him more opportunities to get said rebounds, blocks and steals.
