naturebob Report post Posted January 3, 2021 Yep ,the Good ole days . Suns are finally good again ,Time to get behind them. I don't wanna sound like a Homer ,it's time to get with them again. The Suns have it all . Depth ,Talent ,Bench Shooters ,Ball handlers. And I aint just Jumping on the band wagon. I know it when I see it . They are so deep they could even get an injury or 2 and still win it. Some body here tell me a weakness they have and I will listen. (and no one from Tucson, we know your weakness). But hey ,lets keep it Clean . This is a tribute to WESTY!...........................BOB! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s why I lost my passion for the suns not because they had a crappy run as of late (new owner sucks btw). But anyway this thread is about Paul. May he RIP. I’ll always remember when the suns were down 2-0 to the Lakers and he called it they’d win 3 in a row and they did. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't watched a game since Steve Nash left and haven't kept up with goings on either. Did Sarver sell or are you still referring to him as the "new owner?"

I attended the very first game when Andy Williams and Bobbi Gentry were there. Then over the ensuing years a now deceased friend and I usually went to several games a month when they were in town. When I managed a Penny's sporting goods dept. in the early 1970s, I had Dick VanArsdale, Connie Hawkins and Paul Silas come in for meet & greets on different days. Somewhere in my wife's snapshot collection are ones with my three kids with each of the three players. The Hawk was a funny guy, and we talked about one of my college classmates at Dayton, Roger Brown; he played in the ABA with Hawkins after they were alleged to have been connected to point-shaving scandal while in college. It kept Hawkins out of the NBA for a while, and Brown never did play in the NBA, despite being the top star of the Pacers in the ABA for years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
