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. If you’re trying to play poker (BRING YOUR A GAME!) or just want to attend my event with Pamela Anderson and my celebrity friends, please contact either person listed on my contact page of the site and they will make sure you have all the information you need to register. 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. Thanks!

I am going to miss you Shawn. It sucks my favorate player of all time is leaveing town for miami. Wish you luck my freind.
Hello Shawn how are you doing? I know right about now your very pissed off. I know when I last saw you in chicago in September you said you were tired of your name being in the trade rumors and I’m tired of that to. I told you that I had been a Shawn Marion fan since the UNLV days. I think your the greatest. I was very disappointed that you did’nt make the allstar team. Your deserve that you work so HARD and it seems like they never give you the credit you have earned. i voted everyday and I made my family and friends vote for you. I want you to be happy but will you really be happy in miami? I will always be a SHAWN MARION A.K.A MATRIX fan. Just know no matter where you go I’ll still be your #1 fan (next to your mother and sisters). Your in my prays and I know that god will see to your happiness. Goodluck in the game tonight I’ll be cheering as always. God is going to handle all of this. I’m always going to be here for you.
Love always Rhonda

Hey Shawn, this is awesome you’re even reading this, but I live in Phoenix, born and raised. We love you here bro, just know it’s definitely not the fans of Phoenix making this decision, it’s the management. You’re a GREAT man, a role model for kids and adults alike, and what our management does and what the fans want are totally different. Shawn, I’m going to miss your athleticism and everything I have watched your whole entire Phoenix Suns career. You’re one of the best, and I’m sorry management doesn’t recognize it.
Shawn, Just heard the news. Pls know your you are appreciated and loved here in Phx. God has a plan and everything happens for a reason. Keep faith and know that you are destine for bigger and better things, but you will always have a home in Phx.
Shawn, I am devastated.
I love you so much.
Man Marion I wish you the best! We are going to miss your hard work and determination to be the best teammate! Do your thing in MIAMI bro and Phoenix loves you! Dont forget about us! Thanks for all the memories and show the GM’s in Phoenix y they shouldnt have traded you! Your the greatest main! PHX out Marion! GOOD LUCK! Tell Dwayne hi for me!
it’s been great watching you play with the suns! i don’t think i’ll go see the games anymore, it just won’t be the same! i just wanted to say i love the way you play and i think that you really did deserve more credit than what you got but remember there were those of us who thought you were one of the best. hope that you’re content wherever you go. best wishes and we’ll all be missing you in the valley of the sun! and i’ll still be watching you hoop it up!
Dear Shawn,
I know you will do well in your new basketball home. I hope they know how fortunate they are to have you on the team. I will miss your high flying play on the Suns, not to mention your smiles and sunshiney attitude, but now I have a reason to watch the Miami Heat.
Please be happy, Shawn.
Sincerely,
Maggie
Damn you’re goin’ to Miami. I sincerely hope you are happy with the trade and you will be sorely missed here. You’re a freak of basketball nature and I want to say thanks for giving your all during your time with the Suns. Now you can show Miami fans what the Matrix is all about. I loved watching you at the purple palace
many a night. Take care Shawn, I wish you the best in your new role and Phx will always a Matrix town. Peace and Love.
hey shawn good luck in miami, phoenix got hosed on this trade, the reason you never get recognized for being as great as you are is because you do the little things, the deflected balls, the double team pressure, the second chance points what the Suns fail to understand is you are the missing piece of the puzzle for any team that wants to be a champion you do the hard work and never stop good luck i’m sure you will have many rings by the time your career is over good luck
Matrix-
I can’t even say how heartbroken I am. You will be missed. I hope you and Marcus help to turn things around in Miami. My third graders and I will follow you no matter where you play. We love you, don’t forget the Phoenix fans. #31 forever!
Today was a very sad day for me. Maybe it was a happy day for you? I don’t know. You were my favorite SUNS player. I will miss you and your amazing skills on the court. Continue to astonish the NBA crowds and mostly of all, be happy and do your thang. You have been blessed with talent and abilities, use it wisely. I am positive you will be a success in Miami. Thanks for the opportunity to have watched you play for so long. I will remember the good and bad times. Best wishes in your new adventure in life. Much love, Teresa – your #1 fan
shawn~ you are my favourite player,im very sad to know u gonna o go.
anywhere u go,hope u happy~good luck!
I will follow ALL of your games, get RED/Black pompoms, support your wonderful foundation, regularly visit your blog/website, attend your games in person, and vote like CRAZY for any NBA recognition/awards!!! And I hope you kick major butt as you do your thing with the Heat. Living in Miami is similar to living in Hawaii…the weather is sort of alike!
You got balmy breezes, gorgeous sunsets, beautiful beaches…the ocean does a soul good! I bet you could probably surf too. Just remember Mr. Marion, you have done nothing wrong & can live without any regrets! It’s a new year lined with new beginnings! So I can’t wait to see this new experience unfold for you. Besides, you’ll be wearing my favorite color…RED! I know Mr. Marion aka MATRIX will bounce back (as you always do!). You got my love, support, encouragement, devotion & respect. Sendin’ it from Hawaii ~ Aloha ~ 1HawaiiMarionFan4ever
I am still in serious depression…TT
A large part of my love for the suns dies because you leave.
Now that you’re with Miami, you have another golden chance to show the world who you are-you’re the Matrix.
Wish you lots of fun in Miami~ Good luck!
shawn,you’re so lovely,you’re so handsome,you’re so brave…you’re the best wherever you are
Hey,Shawn,what’re you doing now?I miss you
Wish you happy
love you
OMG!! I can’t believe u r going to MIAMI!!!
When I got a mail from my friend, I wished it would be just a dream…. I was so shocked to hear that. I really wanted to cry when I heard that! I should have gone Phenix to see u in SUNS before…
Anyway, I am still a big fan of u, so whereever u go, I always love u!! I’m Japanese, but I hope I can go to MIAMI to see u someday!Good luck! hope u have a great time in MIAMI too. BYE!!
Good Luck in Miami and I hope everything workouts for you.
But dont worry your, fans will follow you anywhere
And that includes me!!!!!!
Shawn,
I’m so sad to see you go. You were one of the bright spots as a Suns fan for the team. I hope you are happy, tough going from the Best in the west to the worst team in the NBA, but you’ll be ok somewhere else next season! Something tells me we haven’t seen the last of Shawn Marion in a Phoenix Suns uniform. If the tradition continues from the Colangelo days they bring the best players back to add them to the Ring of Honor, your definitely deserving of that! Good Luck to you Shawn! In my opinion you deserved more respect. You’ll be the best forward in the East thats for sure! STAY HEALTHY!
Hay Shawn I don’t know if you are happy with the trade or upset wity it. What number will you be wearing? I just want you to know I will still cheer for you and no matter what you are the best to me. Its like the old saying what one don’t appreciate the next one will. The suns did’nt appreciate you now the HEAT will. You keep doing what your doing and GOD will continue to bless you. I’m always your #1 Fan. Love You and I’ll never stop being your biggest fan.
Love Always

i am in shock. i USED to love the suns when you were a part of them!! .. but my respect for them has gone, NOW you can be with the heat. and when they come to your arena, show them WHY YOU are the matrix.
MATRIX FOREVER!!!!!!!!
DEAR SHAWN
I THINK TO MYSELF HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED!! I DONT UNDERSTAND THE BUSINESS SIDE OF BASKETBALL BUT I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE A MEGA FAN OF YOURS AND TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING AND HEAR YOU ARE NOT A PHOENIX SUN. UNSTINKINBELIEVABLE!! I FEEL THAT IF THIS MAKES YOU HAPPY THEN THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS!! THERE WILL NEVER BE ANYONE WHO CAN FILL YOUR SHOES OR MAKE YOUR MOVES LIKE YOU!!YOU WERE MORE THEN A PLAYER YOU WERE THE PLAYER THAT HAS BEEN THERE THROUGH IT ALL AND PLAYED LIKE A CHAMP!! YOU DESERVED MORE.I FEEL LIKE ME AS A FAN DESERVED A LITTLE MORE TOO. WE DIDNT EVEN GET TO SEE YOU PLAY ONE LAST TIME!!THE GAME WILL NOT BE THE SAME WITHOUT YOU!! I JUST HOPE YOU REMEMBER HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED HERE!! I WILL LOVE WATCHING YOU WITH WADE~HEAT UP MIAMI!!
I just wanted to say that I as a Suns fan I will miss you on my team, and that I will allways wish for you to do well wherever you go. Thank you!
hey Shawn i hope when the feelings rests! look around u and see that all ur fans loves u and appreciate what u do on the court… and number 7 man is sick ..the 31 too
i love phoenix but now i’m a heat fan baby…… and as evryone is sayin marion + wade = jordan + pippen (same age Same talent)!!! i hope u get along with wade flash + matrix!!!! nice to see u in red and black #1 fan since 2001. Eddy,canada

Love Ya

I cried for 2 days and still crying! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH SHAWN! I hope you come back to the SUNS so you can be put in the RING OF HONOR! Just two weeks ago they said you are important to this team. The ink on the damn newspaper hasn’t even dryed yet!
Hi Shawn,
I just wanted to let you know that I will definitely miss you on the Suns team. I LOVED watching you play and it literally hurts knowing that I won’t be seeing you anymore in a Suns uniform. But you wanted to move on, so I wish you the best in life and I hope you get everything you desire and deserve. Take care in Miami and may God bless you wherever He takes you! =) Cheryl
Hey there Shawn!! I was deeply upset to here that you are no longer in Phoenix. I love and adore you for what you do on and off the court. I know that I don’t know you personally but following your career while you were in Phoenix I feel that I know enough that it feels like I lost a friend. I hope for all the best for you in Miami and you can bet that I am going to go get your new jersey to add to my Marion collection. I am truely heartbroken and shocked with all of this. I really never thought that I would ever see the day that my #1 guy would not be playing for my favorite team. Yea I will still watch the Suns games but it will never be the same without you there. I hope that maybe in the future you will come back to Phoenix and retire as a Sun. Oh and I will be cheering you on as a member of the Miami Heat. I wish that I could afford to come see you in person since the Heat doesn’t play in the valley for the rest of the season. I can’t wait to see you in red and black because you look so good in red!!
I hope that you are ok and keep you head up Trix!! You will always be my #1!!!
Love always

Great press conference! You and Marcus did a good job and, I think, impressed the Miami media. I think this will be a good change and way to earn some respect. I’m sorry you had to find out you were being traded over the phone and not even from Kerr. It shouldn’t have happened that way. The first thing I did was go online and buy the sweet Marion Suns t-shirt. Apparently so did a lot of your fans, they’re just about sold out now. I think you are going to get a chance to shine and you are going to take over the East in the seasons to come…{unless you come out here with the Blazers when you hit the FA market}. Good luck and the best to both clubs.
P.S. I think the number seven, in sound and the way it looks, really emphasizes your game.
P.P.S You rocked that white wrist watch!
SHAWN,为你泪洒黄河..
Dear Shawn
I’m so sad to hear this.Thought of you to leave,no longer play with other players,I still can’t help but wanting to cry.Don’t leave us……TT
If you lead happily in Miami，I bless you.Hope your bility health happiness.We love you forever！
Best wishes.
Dear Shawn,
You’ll always be a Phoenix Sun in the valley of the Sun. No matter where ya go, we have the utmost respect for a player of your caliber. The fans of Phoenix will miss ya, but the fans in Miami will soon find a new found star in you Shawn! Good luck, know we’re behind you 100%!
Hey Mr. Marion
So sad to hear that the suns delt you to the heat but the heat is my east team so that makes it even easier for me to see you during the season cause you come to the mil(Milwaukee)twice a year now. Shaq doesn’t have anything on you he’s old hope you and wade blow up together and show the suns what they missed out on by letting you go. Keep it cool and party hard in the M.I.A.
Wishing you all the best. Having purchased tickets to Wednesday nights game, I was hoping to see you sporting a Suns Jersey 1 last time this season, but no such luck. I know all your fans were as shocked as you were. You most definately presented yourself in a professional manner during your press conference, respect to you on that, it had to have been difficult. I look forward to watching you and D Wade do your thing tomorrow against the Lakers.

Hey shawn. We’re going to see your Miami debute tonight. I’m so thrilled.
One week without your energetic performance makes me miss you so much.
Beat LAL! We’re expecting a huge game from you tonight.
see you tonight:)
good luck,shawn
beat lal
To watch your game tonight, I will have to stay up until 4:30am because I live in China.
Just want to tell you that I will be cheering for you in your Miami debute. Can’t wait to see you back on the floor.
Go Matrix! You’re the best. Beat LAL!!!~~~:)
I’m Chinese,too.
There’re countless matrix fans in China and many of them become friends because of you, like me and chloe.
When you left the suns, we’re so sad that we cry together. But we will continue to support you. You’re in our heart and we love you so dearly.
I’m watching you against the Lakers and it kills me to not see you in purple or orange! I think it was a bad trade for the Suns but a good one for you cuz you’re doing good in the game. Like I told my son, we needed a team in the Eastern Conference that we could cheer for — now we have one. Wherever you go, we will follow and cheer you on. You’re a wonderful person and player and will be sorely missed — we wish you all the best.
Watch your first game as a Heat. You and D.Wade are going to make a great team. You could feel the energy. Stay focused.

WOW!! I saw you do your thing tonight against the Lakers and you were on FIRE! I knew your debut would showcase who the Matrix is to your new home in Miami. You and your team gave the Lakers a run for their money in the 1st half…that was AWESOME! I noticed you were very relaxed and feelin’ good while tearing up the court via MATRIX style!;-) There is definitely promise for rebuilding..no doubt! You both brought a new spirit & positive vibe to the team! Love your new digit #7, always was my fav number..777
I’m supporting the two of you…so keep doing your thing! ~ Aloha ~ P.S. I love your white watch..very very classy!
Hey shawn, whats up!! I see you’ve been traded to Miami. I’m a HUGE fan of you and I wish you all the best in Miami. Hopefully, you and D-wade can have a nice chemistry going and see some nice dunks!!
Wish you all the best!!
Hey marion whats up!! So are you gonna make a new website considering that you changed you number to 7. If you aere going to change it, I know what you can change it too. http://www.matrixreloaded7.com How about it!? Tell me if you like it!!
Hay Shawn I saw the game on sunday You did great in your first game. Its funny seeing you in a #7 jersey I miss the #31. I hate how the suns handle thing about the trade. I heard you did’nt even know you were being traded. That CRAZY and then when you called them they would’nt even return your call. And the nerve of Steve Kerr to say you had’nt been performing all that good lately. They are all triping. You keep doing you your fans will always be there your the GREATEST at everything you do. This is one of those test that god has put you through and he’s watching you to c what will you do? Don’t hold your head down because you and D Wade are going to Rock this league. Much love always.

Just read the article on you in Slam mag….they definitely got it right. Missing you in AZ……..
I fell in love with your game at UNLV.
I prayed you would be drafted by the Suns.
Then, you gave Phoneix the pleasure of your presence for 8 glorious years.
I always wanted to see you get a ring and retire in a Sun’s jersey… But thats just me being selfish.
I hope Miami knows the greatness that they now have.
I know you will flourish, and become the mega-star you deserve to be.
I will make a point to make it every time you make to the Purple Palace, and I will be there the day you are inducted into the Ring of Honor.
Thank you for being an amazing Sun.
Please keep Phoenix close to your heart, and visit us around town. You will be greatly missed.
Now, throw your hands up in the sky!
Much LOVE!
