The Suns Are Becoming The Most Hated Team In The NBA

The Suns seem to be in the middle of it all.

Luka, Zion and the Pelicans, the Lakers.

It almost seems like there was a shift once the Suns made the finals, once they became one of the best teams in the NBA. There was an attitude shift. I mean “winners work”.

This single video has become has become the embodiment of the Suns, received as a corny attempt right after a 4 point win against the Warriors in 2021 without Curry.

Pelicans are up by 9, the Suns clearly have given up, Zion gets on the fastbreak and breaks an unwritten rule. When you’re up and when the team has their hands down, you are supposed to hold the ball, a tradition that has held the test of time. Sometimes you even hold the ball with a shot clock. And when players don’t, usually problems start because it’s taken as a slight.

And Cam Payne said that the Suns do things the right way…ahh never mind.

And this isn’t the first time. Here, Jose Alvarado has a bruised rib, gets by Chris Paul, and so CP reaches around, but closes his fist and hits him right in the rib. Part of his highlight reel.

Everybody acting tough when they up right. The Suns were the favorites coming into the series against the Mavericks and went up 2-0. And after the game when asked about matching up with Luka’s defense.

Booker even takes the ball away from Luka, says some words, and annoys Luka even further.

Of course, the Suns are up 3-2 so they gonna win. The Suns lose Game 6, but heading into Game 7, these two have to carry right…

Yeah, Luka made them his and the Suns fell further into depravity, felt like that one annoying hooper who gets super petty and can’t take what they dish.

No one felt bad for the Suns, the same way no one felt bad for Russ when he was rocking a baby in his own win against the Dame and the Blazers and then got rocked with Dame’s game winner.

You can’t only talk when you’re up.

But the Suns do the right thing, sportsmanship, they would hold the ball here right?

Oh Booker trash talking the Lakers without AD?

But you know what, fair. The Lakers were also wildin earlier in the series. Drummond, what are you doin bro?

And a few months later, Cam Payne was trash talking LeBron sitting on the bench, LeBron responded hilariously.

Now usually people don’t like certain players like Marcus Smart, his flopping infuriates the best of us. The Lakers are polarizing mainly because of the fan base. The Warriors are the one team that I can confidently say, people were annoyed with. Partly due to their celebrations, partly because of KD, and a lot because the Warriors were winning. When you keep getting destroyed by the same team, there’s a lot of resentment. So many teams have talked about getting back at the Warriors, but at the end of the day, there wasn’t much you could say because they won. Winning shuts everyone up.

All of these Suns actions might have more weight if the Suns had won the title, but they didn’t. They don’t have any champions on their roster. The only champion they’ve had on their roster the past year and a half is Javale McGee. So for them to be doing these antics, continuously kicking teams when they are down just doesn’t make any sense.

    It’s crazy how fast they burnt all the good will they built from finally making the playoffs, and I’m all for it. They make too easy to not like them. They’re just so annoying.

    That endgame dunk was extremely necesarry. The court audience paid to see that.

    As a suns fan and especially a booker fan, i just wish they would keep their head down more and talk less, especially booker. Before i was a booker fan i was a kobe fan, and after that "be legendary" moment with booker and kobe i thought he would pick up from kobe and learn the mentality it took to be a competitor. And even in the bubble the team wasnt like this, i swear its chris paul and his influence on this team and the mental weakness of the team that lead them to this, they were strong because they were down for so long and to see that little bit of success in the bubble was great, but they got ahead of themselves. I wanna see them shut up and play, i wish booker would have a mindset more like kobe as we a lot of us thought he would have with all those comparisons and support from kobe himself. Take the recent bad 3 game performaces and suck it up, play good ball when he gets back, is what i hope he does.

    Do you really want a humble Suns team? I mean come on, you gotta admit it’s kinda fun to have teams like this 🤷‍♂️

    As a diehard Mavs fan, that Game 7 win was the most satisfying win after the 2011 championship

    book is a young stupid kid who will hopefully class up as he grows up. there is no hope for cp3. that guy's a jerk

    You don’t get it .. they want Ayton to snap he’s soft he’s nice he’s good he’s a baby Shaq but this dude already got paid .. read between the lines .. if they don’t make champs 2023 he’s GONE !!!!!!!!! For halfff !!

    CP3 sauce spoiled. He went from making the Rockets and Thunder great, to making DBook toxic and failing in the playoffs like he's done historically.

    I see this like Kyrie leaving the Cavs, sometimes you just need to seperate yourself from the environment that has led to your success because staying in it is toxic. If you're shitting on Klay Thompson you're being a bitch.

  34. The Truth

    I mean the Suns fanbase is toxic, i mean they act like they are winning titles non-stop. But the reality is that they haven`t won anything, jet they still wanna act like they are so high above the rest of the competition in the league.

    Every single player would do what Zion did, if they say they won't they're liars
