Nice to see the team back to acting like these guys are part of the culture.

It would be nice to see them bring back Walter Davis is some capacity - he was beloved by the fans in the late 70s-early 80s.

It's great to see Mat Ishbia doing what was overdue.

About time.

Long overdue.

Just seeing this happen is making me feel super old.

 

[CardNots]

Great individuals

thank you both for the memories

Works for me

Not a Suns fan, but thought it was cool to see a modern player recognize the players of the past.

LOVE this. And really love that STAT goes in wearing #32.

Stat and Marion were the two most glaring omissions from the ROH. Was curious how they'd honor Amar'e since he wore two numbers, one of which Booker is now wearing and has made his own.

Glad to see them both get their inductions announced at the same time also so there isn't a debate in who deserves it more as both are equally deserving. Doesn't matter the date they're added since both are scheduled now.

That dude would have been one of the best PF of all time if not for microfracture.

He was cooking that entire team in his 3RD season.

Such a shame.

I hope they honor them together in the same ceremony too. That's how intertwined they were.

Such a shame.

He would’ve averaged 30ppg in 06’ if he was healthy based on his natural progression and Joe’s/Q’s production leaving. I wasn’t disheartened at all losing to the Spurs that year cause of knowing we were going to have a young superstar going forward. Just putting peak explosion Amare on that 06’ team that had added Raja, Boris and KT prior to the microfracture announcement. Man.

Man, that video is a perfect illustration of what Ayton doesn't have.

 

[Chaplin]

His foot speed was off the charts. Duncan couldn't guard him.

Man if that injury never happened . . . what could’ve been . . .

Same on all of the above.

long overdue

Yup. Lightning quick first step plus the ability to stop on a dime and explode, finishing above the rim with authority. None of which could happen without very good handles as well.

And he had a really solid jumper from 15-18 feet. Dude was going to be one the offensive dynamos of his era… and possibly ever.
