Video: The Suns Through the Ages

[scooper1030]

I'm getting very frustrated having no new clips or footage to work with until the new season starts, so I made this 4-minute video showcasing some Suns highlights through each era of the franchise. Tell me what you think.

I know the film quality is poor at various parts, but that's usually due to the age of the clips. I got the idea of using the song after re-watching the "Live Forever" season promo that TNT made a couple of years ago.

Also, bonus question: Can you name every player that makes an appearance in the video?

Great job scooper. Good music choice. As an editor and filmmaker myself, I know how long and hard it is to pull together all the footage...and how poor the quality can be, but you have to roll with it.

You might get a kick out of this (a bit too long) Suns "history video" I put together almost 7 years ago now-

...it relies heavily on still photography and only footage from a few crucial past Suns playoff games. I made knowing the Suns were running out runs to a title in the Nash era.

Impressive. Loved it.

You just missed Dragic's game vs the Spurs!

Very, very good Scoop.

Lots of things missing though, and I'm not sure whether they're omissions or you just didn't have video. Of course, it's also 1am and I may have missed some things.

Not much from the 1993 playoffs, including The Guarantee, Barkley's shot, etc.

Also missed Steve Nash hitting a huge three late in Game 1 against the Lakers in 2006 and doing his iconic backtrot-while-fistpumping, Tim Thomas from Game 6 against the Lakers in 2006, Raja from G5 against the Clips 2006, Boris in Game 1 against the Mavericks, Grant Hill's block on Jerryd Bayless in 2010, Dragic's demolition of the Spurs in Game 3 of the 2010 semis, Dragic's schooling of Fisher in Game 4 of the 2010 WCF, the 22-three barrage against the Lakers, plays from the 2OT epic against the Mavericks, plays from Game 6 against the Mavericks in the 2005 playoffs, some plays from the SSOL era including Amare blocking Brad Miller to end a game, a few buzzer-beaters, etc.

There are so many moments. We have been truly blessed as a franchise. I'd love to win a title but honestly, I am so damn proud to be a Phoenix Suns fan and have so many years of exciting, fast, fresh, classy, clean basketball to look back on.

Regardless of whether the moments I listed above simply don't fit or whatever, your video was beautiful and poetic. Great, great stuff. Thank you.

watching that clip made wonder: how many guys the Suns dunked on over the years ended up joining the team? We got Hot Rod and Tolliver, anybody else notable?
