  1. Thank you, Shawn, You will always be the matrix to us. It broke our hearts when we no longer got the root for you here. But we are all glad you are in the ring of honor now where you belong.

    Your talent was ubiquitous, you are a unicorn. Nobody could guard you and nobody could elude you.

    Thank you for the magic of watching you play.

    There's one playing particular that I will never forget. Someone stole the ball under the basket, or rebounded it, and passed it forward to Steve Nash who passed it forward to you for a dunk. 3 seconds from gaining possession of the ball to you dunking it on the other end without a single dribble.

    Unfortunately, my memory has failed a little due to COVID, but I remember my passion and love for watching that team play. Here in Phoenix. We have been blessed to have amazing teams that just couldn't quite get the championship. But that doesn't mean we haven't been entertained.

    You look great, I hope you are in great health, and if you talk to Oliver Miller, tell him he looked great tonight as well.

    I have been a fan since I was 9 years old, I am the same age as the Suns roughly, how blessed I have been to have such amazing athletes and community leaders to root for over my lifetime.

  2. The fact that they made him sit through that 4th quarter is a total disgrace. You deserve better than that Shawn

  3. Here's an interesting fact, the first time I watch Suns basketball was when Shawn Marion had that nasty concussion back in February of 2001 against the Jazz. I remembered like it was yesterday, it was a home game and he was carted off on a stretcher. And from that night onward, I became a Suns fan. Congrats Matrix! You've had an amazing career!

  4. Watching Shawn’s mom look up at the rafters, shedding tears of joy as her great son was being honored brought tears to my eyes. Shawn brought so much excitement to my life that I will always cherish. I met Shawn at McDonalds one time and he was so humble and kind. I hated when we traded him …but I’m happy that he got a ring. SSOL could never be as lethal without the Matrix. Congrats for the honor to Mr. Shawn Marion.

  5. My favorite SUN, Shawn Mario. He brought it every game. To see someone with so much athleticism out everything on the line every game was just so special.

  6. happy for Shawn to feel the love from the city and the fans, he meant a lot to us who grew up watching the SSOL Suns with Nash & Amar’e they made basketball so fun to watch for me as a kid. I’m glad Shawn and Amar’e are finally being honored and celebrated in the way they deserve, forever in the rafters with the rest of the Suns legends!!

    shoutout to Matt Ishbia for making it happen

  7. I know this common with a lot of former athletes but man his pinky on his shooting hand looks broken badly. But congrats Shawn a pioneer of what todays PF position looks like in an era where PFs were still brusing 7 footers

  8. So happy for Matrix. My personal favorite Suns player I've ever watched play. Congrats man!

  9. I was there screaming as loud as i could last night.Thank you for the great memories Shawn. Got me crying again watching this video! This was a long time coming and well-deserved. Love you Matrix

  10. Thank you Arizona Sports for filming this and posting it. It's great to be able to see Shawn's ceremony all the way up in Michigan.

  11. Sucks we didn’t win it all those years. Getting suspensions for nothing was ridiculous. 😢 love Shawn! So glad to see him in the ring of honor

  12. Well deserved! Definitely one of the best and most entertaining players that ever played in the NBA.

  13. He'll need a retirement now in Dallas. That 2011 team needs to be retired in dallas
