Still huge mountains to climb, but right now I'm so f*cking happy.

Will Cheer for the suns as a community for Adam and we will win a ring!

This is cool. We should have a thread with videos of cool past Suns moments. I'd love to re-watch game 3 of the 1990 WCF if I could find it.

Update on little Adam:

He just started second round of chemo. The frosted(that's what they called it) cancer cells seem to have reduce a bit, and the aggressive tumor that started up again, has gone down a little. He had a small infection from one of the surgeries, but seems to be ok now.

Still up and down with the food, and his white cell count is better.

Thank you again for all the prayers and positive thoughts.

I've shaved my head for the second time, and will every time he starts a new chemo cycle. I love this little guy, and have to believe he will overcome this.

If his dad wasn't a Sixer fan, I would send the little guy a ton of Suns gear.

Wow

Thats disappointing..

I mean, Lakers?? all this time he was a closet Laker fan?

Any other team I could forgive, even Spurs (especially the Kawhi era Spurs) I can understand as they play beautiful basketball and epitome of team basketball… but Lakers??

Geez…. I'm actually really shocked.

We need to invite him here to tell his side of the story. The only poster I would be more shocked to find out is a closet Laker fan is BurningHeart

Don't worry, I've PMd him and demanded an answer.

Seems to have happened around March perhaps...

You know, since I followed Nash back here to Lakerland, I'm kind of enjoying being hated.

Put my McFarlane Jerry West on my desk for good luck today.

Here it is

It makes a little sense since he is/was such a huge C Hawkins fan, and then Nash fan. Maybe he lost his sense of smell, for it stinks over there. :lol:

apostasy - the unforgivable sin

nah JK. every so often I admire Laker fans. after all, they embody some of the best virtues of fandom: they love their team, even tho their team is a stinking pile of **** which is offensive to every other created thing on earth.

so kudos to them

I don't find them admirable beause they aren't any different to other team's diehard fans. I find them offensive because there are a lot of loud casual bandwagon fans, not because they are diehard fans like we are.

I see what you mean, I think. But aren't there a few real LA fans? I knew a girl in HS that was a Laker fan. I could never figure out how a good person like her could be so confused. A few yrs later I went to her dad's wake. He was a German immigrant to the USA and he had become a big Laker fan in the early-mid 80s back in Berlin.

Regardless of whether her dad was an **** or not for rooting for the Lakers from Berlin, I kinda admired her for rooting for the Lakers here in Phoenix. After all, we **** hate the Lakers. It's not like rooting for the Dallas Cowboys here-- you can get away with that. But the Lakers? You can get called out for that shir in 6th grade by yer teacher in this town.

So... I dunno. Yer right. There's lots of bandwagon fans. But doesn't that make it impressive to be a Laker fan? Here? In some way?

I dunno.
