He wanted to retire, however, LeBron James called Marion to join him in the Cleveland Cavaliers in an attempt to win a title. Marion signed a one-year contract worth $1.1 million, which further increased his net worth. However, Cleveland`s attempt to win the title was unsuccessful and Marion retired at the end of the 2014-2015 season.

Shawn ended his career with 17,700 points, and 10,101 rebounds in total; he received several awards and recognitions, including four times selection for the All-Star game, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007. Furthermore, he was named into the All-NBA Third Team in 2005 and 2006.
