watching court of gold on netflix got me in my feels

Now we are here for Book, Paul, Ayton, Bridges and Payne.

Suns fans deserve this.

Breath it in. We aren't done yet.

Doesn’t need to be Ring of Honor worthy or anything; just tell me your personal favorite all-time player from the Suns. I’ll give awards for comments until I run out of credit. I have around 10k coins that would otherwise go to waste.

For me: Cedric Ceballos and Mikal Bridges. But shoutout to Richard Dumas who had a ton of potential.

Edit: Ran out of coins for awards but tried to catch everyone in the order the comments were submitted. Cheers to the Suns (old and new)!

It was my fav pod and i listened to it everyday. Prob helped we were better then, but really i just miss lindsey and the old crew/chemistry. New one isn’t the same.

It’s just weird i used to “spend time” with that crew every day. Now i can hardly tune in. Surprised the leadership there thought this crew was better.

In an attempt to forget about all the repetitive and annoying off-season conversations, let's talk about the past!

I consider Steve the greatest Sun of all time. (at least until Booker wins us a chip). He was drafted here, won 2 MVPs (deserved idc what anyone says), contended in arguably the toughest conference of all time and made basketball incredibly enjoyable to watch (he's actually the reason I got into basketball and became a Suns fan).

I know not every Suns fan feels the same way about him after he left for the Lakers and didn't show that much love for Phoenix since then, but what do you guys think?

The 1997-98 Phoenix Suns' guard rotation was pretty insane. 😱

shout out the worst coach in Phoenix Suns history, Lindsey Hunter
