John Warren Marin ( ; born October 12, 1944) is an American former professional basketball player. A 201 cm (6-foot, 7-inch) guard/forward from Duke University, Marin was named to the 1967 NBA All-Rookie Team and spent 11 seasons in the National Basketball Association (1966–1977), playing for the Baltimore Bullets, Houston Rockets, Buffalo Braves and Chicago Bulls. The left-handed Marin was a two-time All-Star and scored 12,541 points in his career. He led the NBA in free throw percentage during the 1971–72 NBA season. Marin played a key role in Baltimore’s trip to the 1971 NBA Finals, averaging postseason career highs of 20.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per playoff game as the Bullets upset the defending champ New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals, before ultimately losing to the Milwaukee Bucks in the finals.
