Twelve years of career...
Nicknamed "The Hacker," Marion has hacked into the "brains" of many top forwards.
In the early years of his career, Marion once believed that Jamal Mashburn was the hardest star on the planet to hack into.
In his prime, Mashburn was 203 cm tall and weighed nearly 115 kg.
As a heavy forward, Mashburn not only had solid post-up skills, but he also possessed dribbling as smooth as a guard's and a range that extended beyond the three-point line.
Therefore...
When the young Marion faced Mashburn, he felt that he could not effectively limit him other than waiting for the opponent's stamina to deplete.
And after Mashburn, in Marion's mind, the player whose program was hardest to hack was undoubtedly Carmelo Anthony.
Because Anthony could do almost everything Mashburn could.
Moreover, Anthony possessed an even longer stamina bar than Mashburn.
