I don’t hear as much about him. That’s a step in the right direction.

Sarver was a tool early on. I hope he’s grown some.
He was nearly 50 when he said that. And mid-40s when he fired the security guard for doing his job. They guy is 59 year-old white guy in America with a billion dollar investment. He isn't changing his stripes now. There is no incentive for him to do that.

Don't be so sure. He has been knocked down several pegs since he became owner of an NBA franchise.

He's still the same guy. But at least he has learned the value of shutting up from time to time to avoid revealing his stupidity.

Oh, didn't know you and Sarver were buddies. Thanks for the insight.

Knocked down a few pegs by... nearly tripling his investment? He is a banker. That is how they measure success.
I probably should not have been definitive, but it is extremely unlikely a guy in his position has any incentive to change his fundamental beliefs and behaviors around human interaction.

Have we ever heard from anyone that likes him if their paycheck/investment are not directly tied to him?

Wow. Care to elaborate? I’m really sorry to hear that. You really hope the owner of your favorite team isn’t a jackass. Unfortunately, it appears that he is.

Good point. But he has been a laughingstock in the NBA and I’m sure he knows it. The guy must have some redeeming qualities, right? Right?! At least Suns charities seem to be doing good in the world. So, there’s that.
Seriously, he ran the team into the ground from what he started with. The only positive is that we seem to be on a much better path now. It seems that he has at the very least improved his decision making when it comes to the Suns.

IIRC, Larry Fitzgerald has a minority ownership stake in the franchise.

OK, Indy’s right, nobody then.
