On #WorldKindnessDay Thursday, Nov. 13, the Phoenix Suns broadcast gave shoutouts to “Collin for Kindness.”
AZ Family broadcasters Tom Leander and Tom Chambers (along with some arena staff) wore white T-shirts with the image of a bee and the word “kind” across the front, a message to “be kind.”
Suns guard Collin Gillespie is doing just that this season by giving back to the community of Suns fans in a variety of ways.

On #WorldKindnessDay, and every day, Collin Gillespie knows the little things matter!
Through seat upgrades, meet-and-greets, and more, he’s making small acts of kindness all season long to make a big impact in the Valley 💜🧡 pic.twitter.com/G8wJn7HwvK
Through a combination of seat upgrades (moving fans in the upper deck of Mortgage Matchup Center to the lower level), meet-and-greets and more, Gillespie is endearing himself to the fan base through small acts of kindness.
“We were just trying to come up with something that I could do to give back,” Gillespie said. “Treat others how you like to be treated. … That’s kind of the foundation of it.”
"Just trying to give back and make their experience more enjoyable" 💜

Gillespie is in the midst of a breakout season with the Suns, averaging career highs in most statistical categories as he carves out a role as a key reserve guard off the bench.
Through the combination of his play on the court and community contributions off of it, Gillespie will no doubt become a fan favorite in the Valley.
