Man, you ask for a lot! Let me see if I can find him...
I must admit that I didn’t think much of Devin Booker when I first laid eyes on him. He had a quiet way about him, a walk and a talk that just wasn't normal around here. He shot the ball like a kid without a care or a worry in the world. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. I guess it came down to a simple choice, really. The Suns were tied and Bridges got the deflection. Then Ayton got the ball to Booker that fine afternoon. Six seconds remaining... Now 5, then 4, and before you knew it, there was a second left on the clock. Time stood still that day as Booker first spun one way and then the other. The ball then flew from his hands and it was as if the whole world had stopped. The ball swished through the net as the game buzzer sounded. Pandemonium erupted from the Suns’ bench. I find I was so excited that I could barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a Suns fan can feel. A Suns fan in the middle of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain. I hope the Suns can make the playoffs. I hope to see them win a series. And then another. I hope to one day see them hoist that championship trophy above their heads as I have seen it in my dreams. I hope.
Yesterday was the 6-year anniversary of Booker's iconic shot... and the most iconic post in the history of this board.

I had asked @Superbone to find Morgan Freeman's interpretation of Booker's shot against the clippers, and by god, he did.
And you want to talk about hope? The very next season, we went to the NBA Finals.
And while I don't need to rehash how that series ended, I do want to recognize Superbone and honestly, @Flagrant Fowl, as well, for his correct prediction that we ultimately would not win a championship that season.
But my goodness, 6 years later, and we're still here. You guys have helped me keep both my fandom, as well as my spirits, high during times in which I've needed it.
Here's to, at least, another 6 years of time well-spent with some of the finest fans, and people, the internet has to offer
