There might be something wrong with Shawn Marion’s finger

shawn marion finger There might be something wrong with Shawn Marions fingerListen, I’m not a doctor, nor do I even pretend to play one on the internet. But I do know that Shawn Marion continuing to function in life with this grotesquely dislocated finger defies all medical standards and practices. In fact, I’m starting to wonder if the man is even human.

“It doesn’t hurt; maybe if I bend it a certain way or something [it hurts],” Marion said as he bent and pulled and squished his pinkie as if it was made of rubber. “I got full rotation. The doctor’s like, ‘What are you going to do?’ You look at X-rays and it’s sticking off to the left, but at the same time I’ve got full rotation. What more do you want me to do?

“I’m good with it.”

Marion said he has no plan to have the finger straightened out.

If he’s not going to have it straightened out, then frankly, he should be using it to his advantage. Just picture this…Marion isolated on the right wing, sticks up his finger to distract a would-be opponent, defender throws up, Marion drives around for the dunk.
