The Spurs won a championship 1 year ago and it was like no big deal at all. The city didn't explode in joy, there wasn't national hype, and at the end of the day nobody cared that they won it all. It's not just because they've won so much, because it certainly wasn't like that when the Lakers won (*) in 2010.

If he brings a ring to Phoenix he will officially have the keys to the city. His celebrity status would be like Nash and Fitzgerald combined. The city would EXPLODE and the impact would be beyond words. The whole country would actually care too, while when they beat the Heat all that mattered was the Heat losing, not the Spurs winning.

This is a chance to be the face of a city and dynasty that turns him into a superstar. In San Antonio he won't get those things and the end goal would not be anywhere near as great as the end goal in the Valley.

I've been unfortunate enough to spend time in San Antonio and the town was never crazier than it was in 2013. It's was more nuts than 99', 03', 05' and 07' combined.

Sure couldn't feel the rumble from over here. The last time I've seen a champion get so little love and hype was.......2007

That banner in downtown is nice! Hopefully he sees that!

I never liked ass kissing for FAs...but I can see why we'd do this for LMA.

Grasping at straws, but does that mean he's meeting with us?

Also, it's not showing on here, but the #LAtoPHX is bolded on the original tweet.

Means that's where he's having lunch I think.

How many lunches can LMA eat in one day?

Why would we need a second meeting?

Its sales. Phoenix needs another chance to close.

That's just a silly comment.

Lakers had a second meeting too. What does a second meeting mean? That you're first meeting wasn't good enough?

Nice first post Joe. [tweet]https://twitter.com/MayorStanton/status/617164729669152768[/tweet]

Here's something he will definitely see. Love it.

We have a great basketball pitch. IMO our bball pitch is definitely better than the Spurs. I like the idea of Phoenix ass kising for him though as our non basketball pitch should be that this will he his franchise and pretty soon his city! It would mean so much more to us than it would San Antonio, plus Phoenix is just a better city. We need to show him what a great opportunity this would be. Great step by the mayor.

He took Warren's number too?? Might as well give him the keys to the city while we're all it! All in for LA!

Yes, and if he didn't already realize it, he has to by now due to the twitter campaign that San Antonio is used to championships and he will be expected to deliver, and with the Suns, he can be the first to do so and be gold.

That's not his point. Read the previous tweet in same context. He's essentially saying LA is a moron.
