Managed over a year to play through a full season with the 92-93 Suns on 2K.

Set most of the starting 5 (KJ, Majerle, and Barkley) at 30 minutes, with 25 going to West, Miller, Ceballos and Dumas.

Even found minutes (and use!) for the likes of Negele Knight and Tim Kempton. Jerrod Mustaf rotted as a reserve because I couldn't bring myself to play him.

If any of you guys with a decent PC ever wanna play with the 1993 Suns in a video game, grab a copy of 2K14 (for PC, can be found for ~$10) and download the Ultimate Base Roster @

http://www.ultimatenba2k.com/

Would recommend an ad-blocker for that site though, as it is full of ads (though no malware, as far as I can tell).

This definitely was sorta bucket list material for me, as the last time (as a kid) I was able to play out the 1993 Suns season was in this game:

Anyway, needless to say, I cherish that team and memory. Especially in lieu of the current state of the Suns.

Seriously? You're going to leave us hanging with that?!

Sorry, that was from my phone and I figured everyone already saw it.


Here you go


First part of the article:
“Honestly, I don’t give a f--- how people look at it,” Morris said. “Like I said, Jeff was my guy from Day 1. Never had a problem with him even the so-said towel incident, never had a problem with him. Me and him always see eye to eye. We were just in a tough position.”

Suns fans in general are incapable of accurately assessing their teams once they experience some success. Everything is almost, if this, if that, the other team got lucky, etc. It's one of the unfortunate things about the fanbase.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

I think it has to do with never winning even one. Less about the Suns fans in general.

It's really hard to swallow. Especially if you have been a fan since the 80s (and before) since they were the only game in town and you lock a bunch of your devotion into one team.
