Greatest Shots in Suns Playoff History

Gar Heard vs. Boston, 1976
Walter Davis vs. Utah, 1984
Kevin Johnson vs. Utah, 1990
Charles Barkley vs. San Antonio, 1993
Rex Chapman vs. Seattle, 1997
Tim Thomas vs. LA Lakers, 2006
Deandre Ayton vs. LA Clippers, 2021

Any other nominations for inclusion?
Good list. I'd like to add that Heard vs. Boston, 1976 doesn't happen without Keith Erickson's shot to tie game 4 and lead to the eventual win in double overtime against the Warriors in the Conference Finals that same year.

Maybe Kevin Johnson’s dunk over Hakeem?


Raja Bell vs. LAC, 2006

Always think of this one right up there with that Tim Thomas shot to stave off elimination.

I remember that Marbury one. There was also one regular season win in phoenix in the 92 timeframe where we were up on the lakers by about 10 with less than 2 min to go and watched them score consecutively and go up by 2 with 2 seconds to go, when Majerle took an almost midcourt three to rescue victory from the jaws of defeat. It wasn’t all that significant in the grand scheme of things, but it was the Lakers. Fuck the Lakers.

He’s listed at 6’11”.

With a 7’6” wingspan and 43” vertical.

That interview is hilarious!

"The doctor says I'm going to be 7'4!"

"7'4! Wow! Are you looking forward to that?"

"YES! I'm going to be big!"

Does this seem to imply that he’s got the negative tests?

Crazy that he was done growing at 14. I assume he wasn't really 6-10 then, or maybe 6-10 with thick shoes and hair. :)

Yeah. I thought everyone knew Cunningham is a native Bahamian surname.
One of the first things you learn in school. Lol

That’s cool he writes for them though. Congrats! Don’t mess up!

A million years back I somehow was asked to do some weekly website thing on the Suns for some no name place. I did a couple of articles and then I think I asked slelc if he wanted to take it over and I think he said no thanks if I remember correctly.
I was mainly going straight to the Game Day thread y'day, totally missed this :)
FF had me cracking up with his post and then seeing some of you guys think it's possible I could be a contributor on nba.com. I appreciate it lol :lol:

I know some of you guys were asking me why the Username and if it had to do with Baja (Mexico/Cali) then most I think remember I said I'm from Caribbean so believe it's Bahamas :oops:

So just to clarify again
I'm from Barbados - the formal term is I'm a Barbadian
The slang is I'm a Bajan ☺️🙂

BigLewy told me he would have vacationed here before and that made me feel good. So yea...

Home ❤️✌️👍
