RealGM Fan Voted: Suns Top 10 Plays of 08-09

There was a thread posted a few days ago about some "Top 10" list that I think most of us did not enjoy as true Suns fans.

So, this thread is intended to create an organized, fan-voted Top 10 list based off of reasoned discourse and general consensus.

Here's the format of how nominating a play will work:


Grant Hill dunks over Joakim Noah:

Why Top 10 Material?
Because not only was he cutting into the lane from the baseline, but Hill elevated in a way that no one, much less the unsuspecting Noah, thought he could or would. Quite simply, this is vintage Grant Hill ladies and gentlemen.


I will begin compiling them into a list in the OP and will shift the plays around until most are happy with the order.

1. Play...

2. Play...

3. Grant Hill Blocking/Stripping Tony Parker for the Layup +1

Robin Lopez steal and dunk against OKC Thunder

Why Top 10 Material?
Because I think we are all moderatly excited about the lesser-Lopez's potential... and if this is a sign of it, well we can only hope. Plus, although it sounds funny to say, he elevates better than most (if not all?) 7 footers i've ever seen. Nice dunk... just wish it was at the U.S. Airways Center, crowd would have gone crazy.

Lou Alley Oop from Nash vs Clippers

With Porter leaving and the team able to go at 100%, Sweet Lou's oop was a breath of fresh air for jaded suns fans everywhere.

lol the "fake" timeout was hilarious. Although it did look like Gentry called time since he was already walking on the court.

Haha, that was awesome.

Still, the dunk over Noah is still my fave.

I know it wasn't officially done as a member of the suns but it was our player, in our all-star, game in our gym so I'd count it. Awesome Play by Shaq.

I was at this game, I think it is definitely an Honorable Mention. This was just flat out nuts.

Steve Nash crosses over Finley

Why A TOP 10? Well most of all we need a little Nash love on this list, it was a great play against his former teammate in a great game(with a horrible, albeit exciting, ending)
