I like to consider myself an NBA almanac and consume basketball 24/7.I have been a die-hard Suns fan since my aunt bought me a Kevin Johnson jersey in 1995 and lost my mind when the Suns traded for Penny Hardaway to create "Backcourt 2000" (I even died my hair blond to be like Jason Kidd at that time). While that era of Suns basketball was short lived, the Seven Seconds or Less era was one of the major highlights of my teenage years and although the past 10 years have been underwhelming to put it lightly, my fandom and passion for all things Phoenix Suns burns as brightly as it ever has.I hope to add another knowledge voice and different perspective to the Valley of the Suns blog and provide the sort of content Suns fans like myself crave.
