A few words of the wise, from the Matrix himself…
The Matrix is to Neo, what basketball is to the Matrix: unlimited in what can be done. Since launching his career with the Suns in 1999, Shawn Marion has averaged 18.4 Points per game, 10.1 rebounds, not to mention 1.4 blocks and 1.9 steals. He is everywhere. He is the MATRIX.
Also, be sure to check out his new website Matrix31.com.
We caught up with Shawn while on the Suns road trip to LA (playing against the Lakers tonight), wanting to find out exactly how he does it. Oh..and we threw in some Suns questions as well:
AZSH: How would you rate the Suns’ season so far?
THE MATRIX: On a scale of 1-10 the season is an 8 right now. We still have a couple of humps to get over.
AZSH: Are there any areas of improvement the coaching staff is working on?
THE MATRIX: I’m not sure, you will have to ask them. LOL.
AZSH: Do you still see yourself in Phoenix two years from now?
THE MATRIX: I’m here now, trying to contribute and do the best I can and that’s what matters.
AZSH: Do you still talk or think about last season series vs the Spurs in the locker room?
THE MATRIX: Not at all.
AZSH: Being probably the best one-on-one defender on the Suns roster (and one of the best in the league, actually), who is the toughest (or simply the best) player you ever faced?
THE MATRIX: Michael Jordan
AZSH: What is one thing that you have not accomplished in the NBA that you hope to accomplish before you retire (personally or team related)?
THE MATRIX: Defensive Player Of The Year
AZSH: What is currently your favorite cartoon?
THE MATRIX: Family Guy
AZSH: What motivated you to create your new website Matrix31.com?
THE MATRIX: MY FANS!!! What is the ultimate goal for the site? To keep my fans abreast of what’s going on with me on and off the court, all year round.
AZSH: What is one thing Suns fans can do to better support you and the team this season?
THE MATRIX: Boo the other team on every play. LOL.

That “I am not sure” what’s the coaches are working on is pure genius.
Was he just trying to have some fun or could Marion have a real point here? Not so sure…We all knew the Suns’ front court players were missing Iavaroni.
How about giving the Suns an 8 (out of 10) so far? a 6 maybe.
