“I’ve always felt like the type of player JK needs to be is, I’ve mentioned this in the past, Shawn Marion is a guy who jumps out,” Kerr said. “With his athleticism, running the floor, putting pressure on the rim, offensive rebounds, getting into the dunker (spot) … going up and dunking, guarding everybody at the other end. To me, that’s what he’s really built for. And we’ve really pushed him in that direction.

Former NBA star Shawn Marion hit back at Kevin Durant’s “cocky” and “arrogant” comments regarding the United States’ superiority over other basketball nations. Durant, the US’ all-time leading scorer, told a podcast recently that rivals “can’t compete”.

However, speaking exclusively to the Post at the NBA Lunar New Year celebration event in Hong Kong, league ambassador Marion dismissed the comments, citing the fact the recent best player awards have been won by non-Americans. “Basketball is such a global sport and is growing continuously, the crazy thing is, the last six MVPs [Most Valuable Players] have not been Americans,” he said. “So think about what you’re just saying. I think it’s going to be another foreign MVP this year. Kevin Durant is one of the most skilled players, I got so much love and respect for him, but of course, that saying was very cocky, very arrogant.”
