I wonder how things would have been different if the Suns won the coin flip? It's possible that Kareem would have stayed in Phoenix his whole career and the Suns would have become the NBA standard.
Fun to think about. I'd love to check out that alternate reality world! (In before AIG recommends NBA 2K.)
I think Kareem eventually has the same issues with Phoenix that he did with Milwaukee, as far as feeling too culturally dry. Kareem/Goodrich/Van Arsdale/Silas is a very good core for that era, though, and might have won a ring or two along the way.
The difference being that it's much closer to LA. Idk

Yeah, who knows. He may have really dug the Navajo culture. And Phoenix always had a decent jazz scene.

He did work as an assistant coach of a high school up by the 4 corners for a little bit.
