And can't help but think every time I see Ayton that if he only had 50% of Amare's fury/willingness to dunk, we'd be in love with him like we were Amare...

Ishbia doing all the right things!
Your comment made me look up dunk stats. Since DA has entered the league here is where he's ranked in total dunks: 14th, 29th (in 38 games), 10th, 24th, 18th. Not sure whether this is where people would expect him to land. I also think we might be setting our expectations too high given STAT was one of the most prolific dunkers in the NBA during his prime.
SHAZAM!

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

Seems they started counting dunks around Stat’s time. At least that’s when I noticed it biased-ly

Seemed one year it was him and shaq miles ahead of everyone. Good times. :o :lol:

What ? Me Worry ?

Yeah. STAT had multiple seasons of 200+ dunk seasons with us, which is a threshold we might get from two guys a year in the league.

I'm glad to see it; I wish they were in the ring of honor long ago, but that's another time. I have a neatly packed Lake Wales HS Jersey somewhere I would like to get signed one of these times.

Definitely higher than I expected! I guess it's all those soft little drop-ins and weak layups where if he just dunked it he'd eliminate so many of those little misses. I just want to see some fire in him

And a very questionable Bbal IQ.

I'll never forget how his constant foul troubles and a stupid disqualification cost Suns an absolutely narrow series against prime Spurs in 2007 and, eventually, a championship that year.

Pretty excited, this will be my first home Suns game since 2011. Bought the flight tickets a few weeks ago and game tickets last week...this announcement is the cherry on top.

Now please stay healthy and play that night Big 3!
