@jshaw_sports @sportscronkite Pretty interesting stuff, and a great read as always, Jackson

Mat Ishbia SHUTS DOWN any talk about the Suns trading Devin Booker 🙌

"[He] is going to lead us to a championship here in Phoenix... I'll ride into a fire with Devin Booker, and I'll do it proudly."

[Cronkite News: Phoenix Sports @sportscronkite]

Despite turning into the @Suns' leading scorer in the playoffs, Dillon Brooks has leaned into his career-long role as a villain, which raises a key question: What role do “bad guys” play in modern sports? @AndyRomike has the story: https://t.co/JyJNzpMjCd

[Oh No He Didn't @ohnohedidnt24]

Devin Booker on his fine and his tech getting rescinded:

"I read it as you we're right but you can't say anything about it" 😂

SHAI GETS CALLED FOR THE PUSH OFF AND THE CROWD GOES WILD 💀💀💀

“He’s a guy we have a lot of respect for.”

I am 100% behind Devin Booker here. Last night was not a good look for our league. Let me be clear, we didn’t lose because of officiating, but that doesn’t make last night any less important. If the referees are going to demand respect from the players - as they should - then the players should demand respect from the referees. When a referee is missing calls and clearly disrespecting the players, almost mocking them, they must be held accountable. Nobody who loves this game enjoyed watching that last night. They want to see the players compete at the highest level. The league needs be far more aggressive about this kind of thing. All players and all fans deserve it.

Following a second half where the #Suns took control of the game with a lineup all shorter than 6’7, Jordan Goodwin told me what about that lineup worked so well.

Goodwin had 19 points and 6 steals in a 111-96 over Golden State.

Just finished my final day of class at @Cronkite_ASU

I’ll be forever grateful for all of the opportunities I was given by my instructors (including but not limited to @PaolaBoivin & @CraigSMorgan) and the countless memories and friends I made along the way! #ForksUp

Man Man with the huge rejection on his former Duke teammate Cooper Flagg!

“You’re one ankle sprain away from being back in the rotation and playing 20-30 minutes”

#Suns coach Jordan Ott tells me about the mentality the team’s young players have going into late-season, high-stakes games

[The Players’ Tribune @PlayersTribune]

“I was 100% born like this.”

Dillon Brooks. Let the story begin. https://t.co/DLDE8V5vOP
