Hey guys! Wow it’s been a crazy week already! I’ve been busy busy busy lining up talent for my charity poker event. I also had to get ready for this long east coast trip. We just arrived in Milwaukee. It’s cold but I’m excited– I get to go home so wish me luck.

There’s a silent auction, live entertainment, complimentarty food and drinks and most importantly–It’s for a great cause…you will be helping those that are less fortunate and having a great time.

GOOD LUCK ON DA POKER TABLE…GOOD TO HEAR UR RAISING MONEY FOR A GOOD CAUSE…..HOPE U GUYS DO GOOD ON DA ROAD,LOOKING FOWARD TO WATCHING DA GAME -REYNA PHX
Good Luck！Shawn！
It’s cold outside,so take care of yourself
It’s reported that Hill will return to the lineup this Tuesday. Can’t wait to see you two back playing together! There is a lot of chemistry between you two.:)
Good luck on the poker table,Shawn.
And remember to take care of yourself in the cold east.
You sound as though you need an assistant..are you taking applications? haha, j/k. I”m sure you have a very capable person holding down your crazy & rewarding schedule..but all I’m saying is..IF you ever are looking for one! :-p I know you and your team will take care of business on the brrr east coast. I hear it’s crazy cold in the South too! I was there in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl & can I just say it felt like the North Pole!! I loved it! But I bet it’s probably “Antartica cold” where you’re at. So stay warm & fill-up on chicken noodle soup or hot chicken pot pies….only way to go! Yummy! Can’t wait to watch you set the court on fire! Smokin! ~Aloha ~ Oh p.s. I always approach life with my A-game on. Poker can’t be that difficult right?
Hey Shawn,
But have fun and good luck on the road.
Good luck with your charity poker game, I’m sure it will be a success and lots of fun at the same time. I think some of you guys in the NBA have some really huge hearts, which is always a good thing. I’m just sad I want be there, live to far and work schedule want permit it.
Best,
Felicia

Congrats on your charity event! Lemme’ know when you’re having a pool/billiards event! I STILL want to give you lessons, Shawn!
The best to you ALWAYS! Your loving fan, Lori Ann
What an amazing end to tonights game! I am sad to hear that you are not one of the starters on the All Star Team, but please know that we all voted for you day in and day out. Wishing you a safe trip home after the win against the Bulls!
Jamie
Great game tonight Shawn! You put the ball up right in the basket at the right time. It couldn’t have been more perfect and this time you saved the day. SUNS win again….they have GRIT! I knew it! Da Bulls better watch out because here comes the SUNS with the Matrix leading the way. I also want to say have fun next week and I hope your foundation raises a lot of $. Much love, Teresa from Mesa, AZ.
What can I say, Mr Marion? YOU were HOT! YOU zeroed in on them & closed the deal! A huge congrats on an awesome win. I never lose hope…never. You toss the “L” and move on. YOU are appreciated by ones who matter! Your fans got major love & respect for you…ALWAYS! Keep showing those who got no love or clue by just doing your thing. Celebrate, you guys deserve it then take care of business against the Bulls. I will be watching the game & cheering you on with my pompoms in hand! Sendin’ it from Hawaii! ~ Aloha ~
Mr marion again and again put it down in the decisive time WOOOW!!
i’m hearing all those analysis that u won’t make the all star game this year, but i’m sure you’ll be in we voted for u. Man the west team is borin without the matrix!! beat the bulls ur definitly THE all star on this team
Eddy, Canada
I represent all of the Chinese phx fans to tell you that you are
the best!phx suns is the best!
best wishes to you!I hope that you can reach great achievement
this season!
you are the superman in my heart!
Shawn Marion-my absolute role model!!!i totally look up 2 him…I went 2 see him play in Chicago and he was a beast!!I think he had like 15 points,11 rebounds,and 3 blocks!!!the whole package!!!!!!!I wish he was on the bulls!!!anyways,whenever I play basketball I try to play like him. After I saw him on January 27,2008 I always try to play like him even though I’m a point guard…but a tall point guard. I went 2 my basketball game and I stuffed 3 different girls and I had 14 points…defense is what I love to do…and thats what shawn marion is all about…Shawn if u ever read this,which would be awesome, i want cha 2 know u where a beast in Chicago, and ur a great role model!!

HI SHAWN,
Im the crazy one with the liscense plate,31MATRX, I would like to thank you for throwing your sweatband to us, but unfortunately it was deflected and someone(a drunk fool i may add)grabbed it. Thats ok, My husband and I really enjoy coming to the games and watching you play. We actually become teenagers when we are there. Having four kids at home doesn’t leave much time for anything. So I would like to thank you and THE SUNS for giving my husband and I a fun filled season every year!!!
I will see you soon with my hands in the air and my screaming voice yelling “MATRIX”
G’day Shawn! Just wanted to say sorry you missed out on the All-Stars. I think it’s coz you haven’t been getting as many touches as before (just my 2 cents) but you deserved a spot simply by being one of the best (if not the best) all-around players in the league right now.
-Fan from down under.
hey man what about those trade rumor about the miami and the suns uncludind u name!!…. plz tell us what r ur opinion on this trade??? UR fans forever !!
Eddy, Canada
Hey shawn. I feel so sick about the trade rumors and I am not and will not believe one shit of it.
Just want to say we’ll be with you no matter what.
Love,
Chloe.
You are much more valuable than a slow, hurt, 35-year-old Shaq! If you change uniforms this month, I will be very disappointed. I jumped on the Marion fan-wagon the day you were drafted, while I was living in AZ; so, if it does happen, and you’re happy with it, I will back you. I don’t like the idea, but I know every team could the one and only ‘Trix!
See you in PDX next month sporting orange and purple.
Yo Shawn, I heard you were pissed. Man we don’t blame you. I’ve met you a few times as the clubs and stuff and have enjoyed watching you play since you came to the valley. If you do get traded, we will miss you. I hope you stay with us but I know there are other factors involved. Wish you the best bro.
I’m at a loss for words at the trade rumors circulating…AGAIN. I feel badly for you & although you made it known you were ready to go before the start of the season, I’m perturbed & very disappointed at the Suns org for dismanteling the CORE, HEART of the team. It’s a very harsh & cold business for them to even consider it at the most crucial phase of this season! After all you have accomplished with this team & are soooo close to getting that crown…I’m so sad. IF this is what you want & are okay with the decision, then I along with the rest of your supporters have got your back. It will be VERY painful to watch the Suns play without you. Whatever team you go to will be very fortunate to have such a talented, compassionate, dedicated athlete as you. My support & loyalty will always follow you Mr. Marion! Truly change is inevitable…life is too short to shadow regrets. ~ Aloha ~ your fan for life! my sn should be Marion4ever
Shawn,
I am dreading tomorrow’s news stories. I hope it’s all poppycock. Thanks for being “sick” all the time, and thanks for the auto jersey. You’re an original, and ALWAYS an all-star!
James
I’ve been a suns fan since the days of KJ and Horny. You gotta stay. I’ve never seen a team as potent as this roster. This is the team that will give you the ring. I’m sure you’ve ran this decision in your head over and over. But I’m cartain that anyone who plays in the NBA wants one thing and one thing only. And that’s a championship ring. I know as well as all your fans, Steve’s fans, and Suns Fans, that this is the team that you can truly have a chance at that. Look, really reconsider this choice and I hope (as well as the entire state of AZ) that you stay. I know Mr. Nash and others would like that very much… You’ll have your ring. Just be patient and keep doin your thing.
Hey whats up man? I heard about the trade last night and I had mix emotions. I know you wanted out of phoenix ya know, maybe for a new beginning. Anyway I didn’t like the move because I hate to see you NOT ina suns uniform. You’ve done sooo much for this team. At the same time IF, IF, IF Shaq is healthy, I can see why SUNS made this deal. We need major help up front!! So we’ll see. If Shaq is in uniform producing I can live wit trade. If he’s in a suit & tie, thats an all bad situation. Anyway man. GOODLUCK to you in south beach. Don’t have tooo much FUN!! I know the deal is not final, but I’m sure its gonna happen. I’m still a TRIX fan and now I’ll be watchin the Heat play. Later man….
How can this be true? I hope when I wake up this is all just a bad dream.
My heart is torn apart. It aches so much.
We’ll be on your side wherever you go…
You’re pride of Phoenix.
You’re our star, our hero.
We love you so dearly.
The suns will never be the same without you.
Too sad to say anything more right now.
I will be a Matrix fan forever.
I will not miss you，because I will follow you
I’m hurt,I love you ,I love suns,and I know you love suns,too.I will be wherever you are.
Shawn,I will be on yourside wherever you go,love you forever!
I do hope you can stay in Suns forever
But if you were not happy there, we have no alternative but to let you go.
I will be on yourside wherever you go .GOOKLUCK
I can not beleive they traded you. What are the Suns thinking. Oh wait they are not thinking. This sucks. We want you to stay here, Phoenix is your home.
Shawn- Last saw you on 3/4/08 at the game vs. Bobcats wearing my #31 Phoenix Suns Jersey to the game. We are season ticket holders. I always watch you dance to the music during warm ups. I will miss you on the Suns. Loved watching your mom cheer(she is so proud) for you at the games, haven’t seen her recently though. Good luck with everything. We will miss you in a Suns uniform.
Shawn last saw you at the game on 2/4/08 vs the bobcats wearing my #31 Phoenix Suns jersey. Love watching you dance during warm ups. Will miss seeing your mom(she is so proud) cheer you on. We are Suns season ticket holders. My best to you, with the NBA and life. Will miss you in a Suns jersey.
ok
I still cannot believe it. The Suns are nothing more than a 2nd tier playoff team without you. Your heart and intensite are irreplaceable. Not only has Suns mamangement turn their backs on you, they have turned it on all Suns fans and our hopes for a championship. Best wishes to you Shawn and thanks for all the great memories in the Purple and Orange.
I will absolutely miss you shawn. I hope your not mad at us or any of your teammates, we love you here in phoenix. You had been great for the suns. I WISH YOU STAY, but if your unhappy too, then we have no choice. Good luck in everything. WE will always cheer you on, I had hope you, amare and nash could have won a ring all together, but I guess its all business.we love you and take care always!
How much I want to say please don’t leave and stay with us.
All the good times and bad times, I will remember.
I will tell others proudly Shawn Marion is the best small forward in Suns history.
I can’t believe it or accept it at all.
Trix for life. ive lived in phx my whole life and shawn marion has been my hero since i can remember, back in the day when the suns wernt that good, shawn marion put me and my dad in the seats every night. please dont go trix. much love and respect. whatever happens best of luck shawn, a true sun for life no matter what.
