KingRevolver Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Pathetic franchise hasn't done a damn thing. The Suns haven't been relevant since the run-n-gun era, and that was ages ago. That overrated scumbag, Steve Kerr, started the downward spiral when he traded to bring Shaq in... horrible. Anyway, it looks like things will be the same for a few years. Let's revisit the hilarious Barkley roast of the Suns franchise: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F4K9F7waSY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol Aristatel Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Kinger. You ever see Barkley play in the Arena after it was first built? Or even further back, see a game at the Mad House on McDowell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, that's around the time they built the new stadium, or not long after that. Anyway, I did see them play a few times at the "America West Arena."

Their first year at AWA was the year they traded for Barkley and went to the Finals. 92-93 Veteran's Memorial Coliseum was a dump. But it was great for getting autographs. I have tons of stories. Maybe will tell in detail some night. But they include... Sneaking into the Suns locker room. And a different story, getting yelled at by Eddie Johnson.

They used to open up the food court area to the public. So we went there to hang out, eat, and check out the team shop. If you kept walking around, you'd eventually run into a fence, and you couldn't go further... but we noticed this gap next to one of the pillars. We were able to squeeze in through there and continue on. We eventually wound up in the Suns practice court. We saw that Suns announcer (Tom Leander??) playing basketball there. That dude was good. He must've played in college or something. Anyway, about ten minutes later... security guard comes up to us and told us to get the fuck out and if we ever came back we'd be arrested for trespassing.

HS Basketball finals were played there that year. I went to see the game as I had friends playing in it. Went with some buddies from some rival schools. One of the guys knew the fucking place. He was from a private school that was playing in the game and I think his dad worked there. We followed him down some stairs at halftime. He knew exactly where he was going. We ended up going into the Suns locker room. I'm not even fucking joking. We walk in. Paul Westphaul (Suns coach at the time) was laying on a leather purple coach watching TV. There were 4 of us. We all said hi. He just waved at us and didn't flinch. Walked into the locker room. Saw Barkley's locker. He had a huge picture of his daughter in it. Saw a huge jacuzzi tub with a rubber ducky floating in it. We kept walking past the locker room. There was a workout room. Mark West and Frank Johnson were working out in there. We talked to them for awhile. Nobody is saying shit to us. No security. Nothing. We take it all in. Tell Paul Westphaul goodbye on the way out. He waves to us stretched out on the purple, leather couch. Go back outside the locker room. Security finally shows up. We told them we got lost. They escorted us back to the court.
