Ya it didn’t work for me…but I already had it so I’m not sweating it haha..
I thought it wasn't going to as well but once I linked my Nike account (already had one because i have to buy Nike's in wide which is generally only available online) and voted on one of the shoes a link then popped up saying you get a year of league pass premium.
Go Suns!

Hard to believe he's been with the Suns since 1975 (when he was 19!). I think there was a brief couple of years between his retirement and joining the team's arena operation staff, but he's a Suns lifer!

Well, I sent in two entries for the G-League Name the Team Contest -

The Valley Fever
The Sonoran Dogs

I've had both and would recommend the later over the former.

I looked it up and he's 69 (and 6'9"). He's also kept himself in excellent shape ever since his retirement which is impressive. Not bad for the Oklahoma Kid! I guess we should call him the Arizona Adult. :P

Actually he was born in 1954 and was 20 when drafted.

He may actually have been 21 when he joined the franchise, depending on when he signed his contract. His birthday is in July.

That'll help the Bucks. Another shooter that plays little or no defense. :roll:

I'm pretty sure the Indiana Fever of the WNBA would prevent the former and, as much as I like it, I doubt they'd opt for a name based on a hotdog.

He and Ricky Sobers both signed on June 6th.

But think of the marketing possibilities! Sausage races, weiner dog races, hot dog eating contests, "Link" the Sonoran Hot Dog as their mascot....

As for "Fever" if they can have the Connecticut Sun, we should have the rights to the Valley Fever. If only seems fair.
