Nash with the three against the Mavs in 2005.

Dragic vs San Antonio in 2010.

That 17 game win streak in 2006. I was on holidays in Bosnia and only got to watch play-by-play and the highlights of each game. Every day I walked up to that public internet lounge, opened espn and gave those Counterstrike addicted schoolkids a reason to believe I was the most crazy person in the room. "Woohoo! Yes! Another win! GO SUNS!"

2006. No Amare. No out of bounds call. Down 1-3. That Tim Thomas three pointer. The Leandro Barbosa show in a blowout game 7.

All Star Weekend 2005. All about the Suns that went 33-4 at one point.

Beat Spurs at their home court game 4, sweep. That's the best championship Nash is ever going to get in his career. Oh well....

I think Suns has finally come out of Spurs' shadow. That is a good sign at least.

In a van...down by the river.
OP proclaims the last 10 years only so i can't include anything from the '93 team(epic game 3)........ so its got to be this.
Kobe's elbows were swinging consistently in Raja's face and it was refreshing to see a SUNS player respond with physicality rather than whining to the refs....and unlike Gentry i'm still not a fan of Kobe.

Hearing Al McCoy question Tim Donaghy's integrity 18 months before his gambling problems were made public.

So many to pick from, but to me sweeping the Spurs this year has to rank up there pretty high.

Nash versus the Nets..

Marbury versus the Spurs...

Rookie Amare..... In Minny that year was great.

Early Marion........

Rookie Dantoni......

Q, Joe, Amare, Nash, Marion..... Loved that lineup....

I remember where I was when Amare went over Olawakandi. And the first time I saw the pre-draft workout video of Amare during his Phoenix workout. The Suns released it after we drafted him. He had this swooping dunk over some other prospect that blew my mind. Jerry said "Theres our #1 draft pick if he's there".

Trading picks.... Noah & Rondo would be money for us.

Goran's explosion this year.

Its funny seeing Gentry holding Dantoni back in that clip.

Goran blowing up against the Spurs ranks as one of my all-time favorite moments, and that dates back almost to the beginning of time.

agreed. that was an other worldly performance, one that drove the stake in the heart of the vampire.

my other ones are probably TT for 3 in Game 6 against the Lakers and Raja for 3 in OT in Game 5 against the Clippers. And Diaw's turnaround jumper to win Game 1 against the Mavs was sick also. Damn... that 2006 run was fun until they ran out of bodies/gas.

It's too bad. If Raja stays healthy in that series, I think we actually beat that soft-ass Mavs team.

Just don't ask me where it ranks among:

- Game 3 Bulls/Suns
- Game 5 Celtics/Suns
- Walter Davis hitting 18 in a row against the Nugs
- Rex Chapman's 3

oh, it definitely ranks higher than Chapman's 3 for me. That was an INCREDIBLE shot but we freaking lost that game... I'll never understand how the Suns made two of the most ridiculous shots in playoff history (Gar Heard turnaround shot in the air... AHHHHHHHHHH! IT'S GOOD! and Chapman's prayer) and couldn't ride the momentum of EITHER of those shots into a win. Seriously, what kind of team makes the toughest shot ever... then loses!

And as great as Goran's shot was, it pales in comparison to pretty much everything that 1993 team did. Oliver Miller's 7 blocks in Game 5, Majerle's shot to tie Game 5... Barkley's 4th quarter for the ages against the Spurs in Game 5... his series ender in Game 6... his 43 points and Crazy Dan Majerle range against Seattle in Game 5... Barkley's 44 points and 24 rebounds in Game 7 against the Sonics... and Game 3 in the Finals.

Loved that team... stating the obvious.

Finally ousting the Spurs from the playoffs... all the sweeter being a sweep.

Horny, Chambers, and KJ rolling the Lakers in the playoffs the year after being swept by them. Spring 1990?
