This baby went from sad/confused to absolute JOY the second those glasses went on.
First time seeing the world clearly. That smile says everything.
♥️ Heart = melted.
Who else is obsessed with these moments?
it is actually insane that 90% of suns current roster issues come down to suns overthinking the 2020 draft forcing size over talent. basically every fan wanted Haliburton, most were fine with Bane as a backup option. instead they force a pick at PF and we’re still dealing with it
Bro he said the whole roster by 1st and last name was ass and was this close to saying adleman ain’t shit either said the whole organization then sent them home this why I love this sport
Duncan Robinson’s love of basketball started with his big brother, Eli. But when Eli got older, he began to struggle.
It takes incredible strength to share a story like this. Thank you, Duncan, for your vulnerability. Well done @mcten. I know this hit close to home.
Suns season comes to a close at the hands of a sweep by the defending champion Thunder - as expected. Phoenix took a big step this year to return to credibility but will need to do a lot more to be a contender / simply put they need better players! I’ve covered this team for 30 years and last years team was my least favorite- that team was unlikable and unwatchable. Fans hated that team. This year was so much different - the Suns were enjoyable to watch, played hard and made the playoffs when most thought they’d be a bottom 3 team in the league. Worth a moment amongst the disappointment of being swept to appreciate the ride they gave us. This offseason will be important to reshape the roster and some tough decisions will need to be made if they want to improve on the successes of this year.
Devin Booker… I gotta hold you accountable because I talked about you in high regard! I’m disappointed because You can be better than this!
Everyone keeps complaining about Dillion Brooks and his shot selection, but honestly if it wasn’t for DB the suns might be scoring 85 points in the damn game.
That story they just told on ABC on the 2018 NBA draft about SGA and Mikal was wrong. The Suns never had a chance to draft SGA. Phoenix attempted to trade up to get SGA with Charlotte but Mitch Kupchak then the Hornets GM made a deal with the Clippers instead. It wasn’t until after the draft was over that Phoenix officially made the trade with Philly to get Mikal Bridges. Philly drafted Mikal at 10 with plans to keep him but Phoenix made an offer after the pick that they accepted so the Suns drafted Zhaire Smith for them. They said Phoenix passed on SGA at 10 to take Mikal and that is so not true.
The Suns could be a PROBLEM for the Spurs 😳

"They have the roster to make it difficult for Wemby." - Chandler Parsons

LeBron on whether winning his 1st ring in Miami or winning in Cleveland was a bigger weight off his shoulders.
Also talks about the backlash he got for “The Decision.” He says he allowed the media to mess with him mentally and it affected his play in the 2011 NBA Finals.
Iman Shumpert on the difference between playing with LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony:
“With Bron, the most that I learned from was just like what I’m looking at in the game. Like the times that I’m thinking TA just trying to get a stop and Bron like no TA trying to speed you up or slow you down because it’s a two for one situation and you just don’t know. He taking advantage of you. So you taking the bait because you don’t know what the fu*k you doing. And he like, you know he looking at me like Melo ain’t teach you. But it’s like anytime Melo said two for one I went but I didn’t know what the fu*k you talking about gang. Like I was embarrassed to tell Melo I ain’t know what the fu*k going on. For real though. This me being transparent at 21. Like Melo telling me some sh*t I don’t know. But Melo not the type of n***a that’s going to grab you after the game, sit you down, say this was the play, circle it. Melo kind of internalizes it be like, Damn, his young a** I can’t expect his young a** to know that, so I need to score another five points, I need to do a little bit more. He like, it can’t be Shump fault. You know what I’m saying? And Bron kind holds you accountable like, I’m going to throw a turnover if you’re not in the spot I told you to be. I’m going to throw a blind pass over my head and if you not there I’m going to tell coach to take you out.”
