You want to know who's really underrated? It's Shawn Marion. He's just as effective as Steve Nash is for that team. If they didn't have him, they wouldn't have the same team.

(Nash) deserves it, we all know that. But I think Shawn Marion is also unbelievable.

He's very underrated for what he does for the team. With BJ there's just not a lot of flash. He's just very, very meaningful to the team winning.

He's like the Energizer Bunny, kind of like Steve Nash, ... kind of brought the glory back to that style of point guard. He's constantly looking for teammates ... playing with a lot of energy.

Steve Nash is the generator out there on the floor. With the players they have, he's perfect. I've never seen an exhibition like that (Phoenix's 109-75 rout of Houston on Thursday).

We didn't take advantage of Steve Nash leaving the game. This team is designed to get up and down the floor with or without him. They exploited mismatches and really attacked us.
