    I HAVE TO SAY 33 LIKE SCOTTIE PIPPEN…GOOD LUCK IN DALLAS!!!!! GO MAVS

  3. Big D says:

    Go with 14; it’ll be a nice symmetric touch with Dirk’s 41.

  4. Rick says:

    Shawn,
    I look forward to seeing you in a Mavericks uniform. I always liked and respected you as a player in Phoenix, and I think you’ll do great with us.

    I think you should transpose your numbers and go with 13. I don’t think that number’s being used since Steve Nash left to play with you in Phoenix.

    If you do that, you’ll still be #31 to the dyslexic fans.

    Have a great season,
    Rick in East Texas

  5. Deion says:

    Wear 7 or 21.

  6. ryan says:

    22

    but looks like http://www.matrix22.com is owned, but nothing up there. Could probably get it cheap.

  7. brian says:

    Go with # 22 Marion, ala Emmitt Smith. Score a bunch of points, become a Dallas icon and win a championship!

    AND, not that it matters, but

    31: 3 + 1 = 4
    22: 2 + 2 = 4

    Doubledown deuce!

  8. Collin says:

    Hey Shawn, I would go with # 23, # 1, or # 9. Number 9 because The Stars and Cowboys have Modano and Romo wearing # 9.
    Thanx Matrix, Collin

  9. Vince says:

    Go with number 30 boss!

  10. Sean says:

    What about 78 for the year you were born?

    It’s one of the only jersey numbers in league history that has never been worn before, so it could be yours and yours alone in NBA history.

  11. 33, 99(the matrix was released in ‘99)

  12. Bryant says:

    Hey shawn, just wanted to say welcome to Dallas and i hope you and the rest of the gang do great this year and bring home a ring.

    About the Jersey:

    I personally like 33 on you but James Singleton( who is a Free Agent right now) wore 33 last year for the MAVS.

    But if 33 is not available.. #1 or #7 is my vote.

    But since you are changing your jersey number, are you going to have to change your website name too?

  13. adam says:

    I’m a huge Dallas mavs fan and i think you should go with the number 37.

  14. Will says:

    7 or 14 would be cool. Good Luck in Dallas, I am stoked for you and the mavs this year

  15. DLUV says:

    Welcome to BIG DALLAS brother im thinking 24 would be legit on you or even 23 you know what im saying make an impact

    Dluv- from DALLAS TX when you move here check out homes in forney tx feel me

  16. Gary Bates says:

    I say go 26. It’s like turning you rnumber around to 13 but being twice as good! Like a rebirth!

  17. Go Mavs! welcome to our team! i can’t wait to see you help out team make a stronger push in the playoffs.
    i think you should wear either 17 or 18.
    hear me out. People play better when they set a goal. I am calling you out to set your goal of PPG at 17 or 18. Witch ever you fell more comfortable with. Wearing that number on your jersey everynight will help you realise your goal. So puch for a season average of 17 or 18 PPG this year! Go Matrix! Go Mavs! lets do this!
    p/s get back to me bro to let me knwo what you think.

  18. Logan says:

    What up Shawn? So if your nickname is “The Matrix,” then you gotta be the one like in the movie… Therefore the only number that would make sense would be #1. Cuban is like Morphus… He truly belives the search is over because he found you.

  19. JL Cox says:

    Hey Shawn,

    My son Luke says you should wear 3 like he wears. He says if you can’t wear 3, then wear 21 because 2+1=3. He’s 10 and loves the Mavs.

    JL

  20. jose ramirez says:

    Marion i think # 1 or 0 would fit very well!!!!!

  21. Adam says:

    go with the number 27

  22. eileen says:

    YOU SHOULD DEF. DO 31 BACKWARDSS !! WHICH WILL BE 13 !! PLUS ITS GOOD LUCK (; -GOODLUCK SWEETIE (;

  23. Tristan says:

    Hey Shawn,
    Tristan from Australia here!
    You have been my fav player in the NBA for some time now and i wish you only success in Dallas. It’ll be so awesome to see what you, Kidd, Dirk and the rest of the crew can do next season!
    I reckon you should go with 3 but i also like 13 (as that is the number i always used to wear when playing bball)
    Blessings,
    Tristan

  24. Esteban says:

    I’ll go with Eddy, number 3 would look perfect on you. If you don’t agree, maybe 31 backwards.
    Can’t wait til the season starts. Bring us a championship!
    God Bless!

  25. Brian says:

    i say either 13 to swap the numbers around or 23 cause thats a classic number

  26. aa says:

    Number 1…for Dallas’ first championship…which you will help bring to town..

  27. Todd says:

    Matrix, in the movie, Neo was the “One” his apartment was apt #1, You are the Matrix and you are the “One”. Jersey #1, no doubt.

  28. Kari says:

    i like 13 move the numbers….

  29. kiansam says:

    hey dude! im a big fan of dirk and iwas very happy when you join the team. i know you can help dirk to get a ring as same as to you. i know you will do all your best. anyway, what # i suggest to is # 12. Y? may 7 is your date of born right? may is 5 + 7 = 12. that # is really fit to you. single digit may not fit to you. so plss.. as i request, plss take # 12. takecare matrix12..

  30. Dan says:

    7, because its a perfect number in the Bible, and it’ll represent what you bring to the Mavs… title this year!

  31. Danny says:

    hey shawn
    i read about this on dallas morning news.com and i was thinkin, maybe you should go with 21. its a knock off from 31 but itd be cool to see a team have someone wear 11, 21, 31, and 41 haha. well i can’t wait to see u in a mavs jersey. i have been hoping for this for a while now because you went to college in my hometown of las vegas and are one of my favorite UNLV alumns and now you are going to my favorite team so it’s great to see it. thanks alot and good luck, and find yourself a good home in dallas because i have a feeling you will not go anywhere for awhile.

    thanks =)
    danny

  32. Hammer says:

    17

    dude, it is awesome to have you on the Mavs.

  33. Mike says:

    Shawn –
    I am pumped that you will be playing alongside Dirk and not covering him anymore!!!
    I have a buddy of mine that lost his son in 2005 at the age of 17 and at the time they lived in Phoenix and were huge Shawn Marion Fans. He wore the number 55 on his high school team…thought that would be a good number -
    Looking forward to a good year

  34. Todd says:

    Shawn, welcome to Dallas. #50, #51, #11 all would look great on you.

  35. jstan says:

    glad your coming to dallas, u got to wear either 1,3,32 cant wait to c u in dallas.

  36. Mandie says:

    Hey Shawn,

    I would go with a 13, Look at it this way! Same Marion, new start? Using the same numbers just reversing it 31-13

    Good luck!!
    Mandie

  37. Cooper says:

    You should def go with number 3. It would be original in Dallas, and you could define it.

  38. Marlia C says:

    Hey, Marion! I’m very happy you are joining the MAVS! Welcome to Dallas! Can’t wait to cheer you and the team on! Let’s see from what I know these numbers are taken: 11, 32, 13, 25, 8, 1, 5, 2, 41, 33, 31, 3, 34 and 4. If possible you should go with the number 12! It’s a perfect match and it’s a perfect match for you!!!! Hope you chose it : )

  39. Duane Davis says:

    Hey Shawn go with 13, I look foward to seeing you this season. You have family in the big “D”. I’m Marty youngest brother and my oldest sister Carolyn lives here also. Dallas needs the matrix.

    Good Luck in my second Hometown,
    Duane

  40. Charles says:

    It looks like the message I tried to post yesterday somehow got lost, so I’ll try again and say I vote for 21.

    I believe the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,8,11,13,15,22,25,31,33,41 are off limits.

  41. jboy says:

    what ever your high school number? or 13 perhaps or not 4.

  42. Henry says:

    you´re matrix, you´re the #1

  43. Luis says:

    Hey Matrix,

    32 would be dominant!

    Bring us a ring!

  44. frank says:

    Go single digit like 3. that would be cool. keep doing what you do

  45. Mary says:

    Shawn,

    I was glad to hear about the trade. Coming back to Arizona would have been best (we miss you SO much!), but since that didn’t happen… I vote for 3. Too bad you can’t get 31, but 3 would be good. It would put you near the top of the list, where you belong. You’re awesome!

    All the best,
    Mary

  46. Ben says:

    Thrilled to have u in dallas shawn. Clarksville representin!

  47. Bo says:

    Hey Shawn,
    No. 78 , you was born in 78 , right. What about number 6? It suits you.
    Good luck in Dallas , Trix !!!!!
    Bo

  48. djO says:

    Glad to see you reunited w/ JKidd on a better overall team. A few morons are talkin sh!t, but basketball heads know the team is WAY better now. Anyway, Biblically speaking, the number 3 represents completeness – (definitely defines your game). Best wishes on the championship run(s).

  49. Damian A. says:

    Hay Shawn, i think 7,33,21, or 3 in that order. good luck matrix!
