All time for me is KJ. Next tier is Marion and Mark West. My history started with my first game in 81, but I was young and didn't really start watching until 88.

Mark West is admirable; a guy who worked his ass off to become a more than serviceable player. I loved it when he destroyed Mychal Thompson and Vlade Divac in the playoffs against LA in the late 80s when he went for 23 and 17, I think it was. Did a great Moses Malone imitation that day.
He's on the Suns All Work Ethic team.

That's what makes me love him. It was all about hard work.

Finley would be on the All Time Suns Rookie team, along with Alvan Adams, Walter Davis, Amare' and Ronnie Lee.

Edit: Forgot about Armen Gilliam, who had a solid rookie year on a lousy team.

I had a man crush on Finley. He won me over with that tip in dunk to beat the Knicks as a rookie and that dagger against the Lakers.

I do believe he also had a nasty dunk over David Robinson.

Was not a happy camper when he was traded.

... Even less of a camper when he single handedly murdered us during a playoff game against the Spurs.

There's no one I root for more on this team than Eric Bledsoe. If he can put it together and play consistently, we could have a real monster on our hands, the best Sun since Steve Nash.

After that, it's Green, Len, and Markieff.

My least favorite current Sun is Marcus Morris.

Least favoirte sun....hmmm you I'd say either Marcus or P.J. At this point.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”
