“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.”

Does LeBron’s career at this point mirror MJ’s Wizard years? “No, because LeBron has Anthony Davis on the team with him,” says Marion, who played against MJ and has been teammates with LeBron. “MJ didn’t have anyone else on the team with him in Washington that was capable of being an All-Star at that time and being an active current All-Star and probably having a good chance of being with another top five or top ten player in the league — you play with another top five player, he would probably would’ve had a good chance to win; possibly get to the championships or the playoffs. The Eastern Conference was bad back then. It still was that hard to get there and still do anything.”

While Michael Jordan and LeBron James receive high praise from Shawn Marion, while chatting on Scoop B Selects, Marion also shared love for the late great, Kobe Bryant. Marion shared that Bryant was one contemporary that he wished was his teammate. “I used to want to play with Kobe,” he shared. “I almost had a chance there too, but I really wanted to play with Kobe. Why not go to the Lakers in La-La Land? The Lakers and when you think about organizations in each sport, there are at least two organizations in each sport that stand out above everybody and that’s of course the Lakers and the Boston Celtics because of the rivalries they had history and then you go football, it’s the [Dallas] Cowboys and maybe the [New York] Giants and baseball it’s the Yankees and the Dodgers. And then you can look at hockey — I don’t know because I’m a Blackhawks fan, so I don’t care about all the other hockey teams that are supposed to be the “it” hockey teams! So you know, but every sport has the team ‘That always wins championships’ and they have more championships than others and those are teams that stand out more than everybody.”
