Yeah coach Bud is looking really good for the Suns. This seems to mean the world to him so it had better mean the same to the players.

[@leojones22]

if these rich spoiled stars still wont listen to coach Bud, all of them should be gone

[@gmon3y46]

I said we shoulda got him before Frank…I can see bud pouring his heart out holding that championship trophy about how long he’s been waiting for this moment for the suns 🎉❤

The Big 3 needs humility.

[@UNC.357]

If it ever came down to it, I would choose Coach Bud over KD

[@sunsfever83]

It was an intense press conference. And to see Al, that was awesome.

Coach Bud, thanks for your time and bringing Milwaukee their 1st championship in 50 years! I was sad when they parted way with you but you went to a great team! Besides Milwaukee Bucks as my team, i am rooting for the Suns to succeed and I hope that we can get a rematch of the Finals!
Suns have a very very talented team and coach bud will give you guys an awsome offense and defense! I hope we all can stay healthy next season! GL Suns and Coach Bud!

It wasn’t that the players weren’t responding poorly because Vogel yelled, it was because Vogel hadn’t done it before and it seemed insincere

[@Mike20np]

It was nice seeing Al that was the special moment for me

[@alberth1150]

I feel we’re hyping up Bud over the distain for Vogel. Reminds me of the whole DA/Nurk situation. Suns have a lot of problems and those guys were just scapegoats.
Bud can say everything nice but guys who wanna hoop don’t want to be coached hard.
This team needs a player they can lean on.
2021 suns had CP/Jae then the addition of McGee In 2022 brought another level.
The fact that we are worried about if the big 3 will buy in is sad.

Bro Mike Malone is definitely the leader of the Nuggets.. Jokic barely be talking when I see him.. Pop was the leader of the Spurs Duncan barely talk to.. So idk how Barkley became the person to give the criteria on leadership

[@Ioofah]

Bro Jokic has screamed at his team before during timeouts 😂

[@themushroomman5585]

This is it for all the guys, either that or the deck is going to be shuffled and we will be getting a new team for coach bud the following season.

[@MADFUN1979]

The Moon Suns just doesn’t have the same ring to it…

[@LagmasterB]

Vogel never cared 10% what Bud does.

Coach BuD > book kd beal
