Shawn Marion: D’Antoni’s failure to make adjustments is why Suns never won a championship

When looking back on Nash and his career in Phoenix, it’s not uncommon for fans to question the reason why he was never able to win. On “The Ringer,” former All-Star Shawn Marrion presented his own theory as to the reason:

“I think adjustments stopped us from getting over that hump. Everybody keeps speculating that the year Amar’e got suspended was the year we were supposed to win a Championship. I didn’t feel it that year. I felt it the next year.

Everybody talking about the adjustments or what a team doing and not doing — you a coach, you got to make a f—ing adjustment. It’s your duty to see what a team doing or not doing.

No wonder everybody said we were predictable. If you go back and look at the stuff, a lot of the coaches and staff, they were like ‘aw, we knew we were gonna beat y’all in aa playoff series, ya’ll predictable. All y’all did was do four-out, one-in. Amar’e gonna screen-roll with Steve and he gonna probe until he find something.”
