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 think FF is just joking because bajanguy loves Bridges and Johnson and the article was about them.

Maybe Kevin Johnson’s dunk over Hakeem?

The Ayton one is tops for me…I either wasn’t alive or too young for most of them.

I remember listening to the radio call of the Chapman shot with my dad..we were standing up and there was just screaming…we didn’t know for a second if it went in or not…then we started jumping up and down once we heard, haha.

Fun fact, I also jumped in my living room on the Ayton shot tonight and hit my head on the fan, haha. Worth it!

Still going to make that trade Split?

And I didn’t even realize Aytons dunk went in at first.

I yelled so loud that I was surprised that my neighbors didn't call the cops. I'm still hoarse.

I remember watching it. Chapman was at the top of the three point line and ran right, caught the pass and went up for the falling sideways out of bounds shot with a ton of arc that seemed like a total prayer shot that went in.

KJ’s shot was also huge because we couldn’t score against Hakeem and it was so frustrating. KJ said F it and just went right at him and somhow the little guy got the best of Hakeem and dunked on him.

Both those shots were huge but we lost both those games…

You have to look at the magnitude. If the suns win the title, this is probably the greatest "play" in suns history.

Chapmans shot was awesome, but we lost in OT. KJ's dunk was amazing...but we lost that series. if we beat the clips and win the title than I'd say
probably the biggest shor or play in suns history. Well maybe 2nd...behind bookers 3 to beat the Bucks in game 3 :)
“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.”

I'd put Raja's Bell 3 vs the Clippers in Game 5 should be on that list as well. Believe it was 2006.
