I'd agree no one probably expected the Suns to be in the finals going into this year. To say that no one saw Devin Booker as a franchise player though...he already was and had shown it since his rookie year. Just needed the right pieces around him.
@@debrahoffman4673 you do know basketball is a tram sport right? Only two of the top 15 playoff scorers are in the finals Giannis and Booker. And they are 11th and 13. Individual stats mean shit if you lost.
As a lifelong Suns fan from The Valley, I gotta say I saw this coming, one move that went totally under the radar was the Jae Crowder signing, brilliant move by James Jones to go alongside everything he’s done for our organization, and if we win the finals, maybe people will finally stop doubting us
As for the injury bug, there’s no asterisk on the Suns WHEN they win the championship because they simply weren’t supposed to be this good according to every analysts expectations and they also quite simply went out and played who was in front of them despite having injuries and setbacks of their own with Chris Paul in and out the lineup
The only time there should be an asterisk in sports is when you cheat. While it is true that they benefited from injuries that is just how sports work sometimes.
@@Armenian_King nope, i've never seen a team play 3 straight series when their opponent was missing the best or 2nd best player and then face a team in the finals with the best player injured while playing. Place any top 20 nba team in that situation and those are automatic series wins.

We shouldn't fault the Suns for benefiting from injuries. What are they supposed to do: play down to their competition? I'm tired of people (especially salty Lakers and Nets fans) not giving them proper credit. The Warriors benefited from key injuries to other teams in all three of their championship runs, but they were still given praise and respect. The Lakers benefited from playing in the bubble last year, yet people still praised them for their run. We should do the same for the Suns.
What??? Are you dumb? How did the Lakers benefit from the bubble lmfao 😂, if it was so easy why didn't you're team win?, And don't say it was because it allowed them to be healthy because all your saying is that no one could beat a healthy Lakers team. I swear you hater are always chatting shit

Phoenix is the 6th largest city in America how come they’re considered such a small market? And also the NFL media hypes up small markets like KC, Green Bay, etc, NBA should promote small markets more.
Because media size includes the population of the metro areas. While the population of Phoenix proper is almost 2 million, the population of Phoenix Metro is almost 5 million. There are other cities like Atlanta with a smaller population inside the city, but when you include the rural areas outside Atlanta, it’s a little bigger than Phoenix metro
The overall market in downtown Phoenix is also not the most popular. While they can bring in a good amount of money from sports games and other events, there isn't too many things within Phoenix that attracts a lot of attention or people for that matter. I lived in Phoenix for pretty much my whole life and whenever there isn't a sports game, concert, or special event at the convention center, the downtown/central area is very inactive and empty for the most part.
For one downtown Phoenix isn’t super popping especially in the summer because of the heat. There aren’t many main attractions to draw people to the city and the city is so wide a spread out that getting from Mesa to Peoria is a whole day trip. Secondly Phoenix has only recently experienced a lot of growth and is one of the newer big cities in America with many of its residents hailing from elsewhere so they don’t really have a loyalty to Phoenix yet.
the 2 "fire" teams have made the nba finals the last 2 years, the HEAT and the SUNS in the year of the coronavirus (sun crown), both teams led by jae crowder 👀🤷🏿♂️
Man, this brings back so much memories to go back through. For once, I actually know the topic and events you talk about well. Can't believe we here. Let's go Suns!
Sixers letting go of Mikal Bridges on draft night for a guy with a peanut allergy was ridiculous as hell. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ I honestly don't know why the Sixers made that trade at the time. He could have helped them fill-in Covington's spot during Jimmy's time in Philly. Anyway, still proud of Bridges' dev't in PHX and he's now a pivotal starter on a championship team. 💯
One of the biggest reasons the Suns are having success, Sarver hiring the right guy and getting out of the way and letting them do what they want. As a Suns fan we've hated Sarver, we're still not fans of his, but for over a decade we've been saying he needs to get out of the way. He finally got out of the way, made a great hire in Jones, which led to a lot of other positive steps forward.
You coulda just said, “Chris Paul”…… Dude changed the whole structure and play style of that team and elevates everyone, no matter what team he goes too. Also D Book is a menace.
8-0 in the bubble. To me that proved D Book was ready to get some help and make a fun he was a true pro about being there I’m so happy to see this for them after everything they’ve been through
People trying to discredit the suns for vsing teams that are injured, a team that has made the finals has versed a team with key players injured every year since 2011. Also if it was the lakers they’d be vsing the same “injured teams” with no one complaining lol
Yeah definitely see your point however the Suns went against the Lakers which had an injured AD, injured LeBron, Nuggets which had an injured Murray and Clippers with an injured Kawhi. I do think they would’ve beat the Nuggets but the other two would’ve been very close. Last year was a different as the injuries piled on at the end and the Lakers had control over the game before the injuries occurred. One or two teams with key injuries can be glanced over but all three within your conference plus the eastern conference also battling with key starters playing one of which they will face in the finals makes this more skeptical of a run.
@@vic7926 no such thing as a skeptical run. U can’t use something out of a teams control against them. Their job is to play who’s in front of them and win. There’s no requirement for a star to be on the opposing team for a run to be legitimate. This is pro ball. U show up to win. If that was the case the injured team should forfeit any time the star gets hurt. There is no asterisk next to a win for the suns or bucks unless one of them cheated to win. A title is a title and that’s all there is to it. You can acknowledge that they had an advantage but trying to discredit them is illogical.
Even though they didn't win the championship, the Suns were a huge surprise this season. Plus it's good for D Book, Ayton, Bridges and all the young guys to now have experience of playing in the NBA's biggest stage.
@@user-lh8zz6st5r Dario saric didn’t play the entire finals cam Payne got hurt in the clippers series Devin Booker got his nose broken…..were you even watching the games?
The real answer? playing teams missing the best or 2nd best player all the way to the finals. Objectively only team they may have beaten fully healthy is the nuggets, but thats a toss up too.
Great job on the upload! 👍 However, you only mentioned AD being injured (not buying Lebron’s excuse) when Chris Paul is playing with one arm during the Laker series. 🤣
We have to remember a few things one cp3 was put for a portion of the playoffs too. With him out they were still winning. Finally though staying healthy and keeping your body ready is a skill and important factor you must be able to use
Yeah the Suns faced every team without their star players but they were still the 2nd seed in the east and did what they were supposed to do when teams are fully loaded. If they would have lost we would have been saying they're trash cuz they couldnt beat the same teams
Honestly I saw the cp3 changing being huge for them, but I wasn't expecting a second seed or to actually make it to the finals. I think they could have beat the nuggets and clippers both fully healthy, ayton and the guards are too good and their wing rotation is very solid.
I agree with Lakers and nuggets, but I gotta flip the clippers cause I don't see pg doing what he did if they have Leonard and cp3 wouldn't have been slow/missing for most of the games. It is hard to say tho
You should have 500k subscribers at this point. You are the most important person to NBA basketball. The only person on your level is Jimmy High roller. Everyone else trash. I’m definitely going to share your content more bro.
A very consistent theme when it comes to championship caliber teams not all but consistent Is that the most important part of a championship caliber team is having strong leadership in the front office
Hey, LOW! Great video as always. I was wondering what is the music you use in this video that you talk over. I’m really interested to hear them for myself.
The Cam Johnson draft part has some cap in it. Cam Johnson being picked 11th was considered a wasted pick because usually freshman who had a stellar college or high school season, "project players" and raw talent with potential are drafted higher. That is why players like Lamelo Ball, Andrew Wiggins, RJ Barrett, Thon Maker, Giannis and Sekou (those 2 are 15th but whatever) are drafted in the lottery a little higher than usual. Cam Johnson's game is perfect for playoff teams without not much elite shooting options (Bucks, Raptors, Mavericks). Besides, the Suns can just easily draft Cam Johnson at 24th (which they used to draft Ty Jerome). I mean take a look at the teams picking after 11th in the 2019 draft: Charlotte (12th) ain't picking a senior over a sophomore in PJ Washington. Miami (13th) are overcrowded with forwards so they picked a guard in Tyler Herro. Boston (14th, 22nd) ain't picking a scoring forward since Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are in the team. Detroit (15th) ,Memphis (21st) and OKC (23rd) are looking for project players, Sekou, Brandon Clarke and Darius Bazley are one of them. Orlando (16th) is the same situation with the Heat. New Orleans (17th) ain't picking Cam Johnson after they just drafted Zion. The teams that might draft Cam Johnson is the Spurs (19th) for added forward depth and Pacers (18th) and 76ers (20th) for added shooting though asking a a late lottery rookie to score points off the bench for your team might be foolish to some GMs.
Honestly if phoenix wins I honestly think they won the right way and have more respect for them for putting a team together instead on going out and recruiting superstars because you see so many organizations give in to these guys demands making them bigger than the team but I'm glad that there are teams who believe in the process still
Why does everyone skip the fact that chris Paul was also injured during the lakers series and the fact that in both of the LA series the refs being so blatantly against the suns?
@@shagames9307 oh yea but your darling LeBron hurts his ankle waaaay in the season yet thats not the same as cp3 hurting his shoulder? So gtfo, Booker had the most shots in total for the suns and LeBron for the lakers, and booker still shot more then LeBron in total so of course out of everyone on the suns he got the most free throws yet EVEN THEN booker got called for NINETEEN personal fouls and LeBron only got called for Seven so stfu about the refs not being bullshit, the entire stat sheet for things like this is in the favor for the lakers, the lakers had more free throws the lakers had less fouls and the lakers stars were called for less personal fouls than the suns stars were and you cant tell me anything about ad being hurt because so was cp3 and Even then ad missed one more game than cp3 did so is he did play that game and even if we were being generous about his fouls lets say he got 3 he would barely have the same amount of fouls that cp3 got. Man get outta here with yo bs
@@shagames9307 to to mention something that isn't even tracked the refs were missing soooo many more calls for the suns than they were for the lakers, they were letting the lakers get away with waay too much stuff

I’ve been waiting for this video, NotiGang wya
God, it's been an awful slog in Phoenix.
This success is SO refreshing.
LOW what about all the injuries we dealt with throughout the playoffs and the covid protocol to start the western conference finals for Chris Paul
It was just cp3
@@user-lh8zz6st5r Dario saric didn’t play the entire finals cam Payne got hurt in the clippers series Devin Booker got his nose broken…..were you even watching the games?
The real answer? playing teams missing the best or 2nd best player all the way to the finals. Objectively only team they may have beaten fully healthy is the nuggets, but thats a toss up too.
There is just about Ayton expressions that make him look like a kid that’s just happy to be here. Haha
4:45 Jon Isaac is a defensive freak
Fax they sleeping 😴
Great job on the upload! 👍 However, you only mentioned AD being injured (not buying Lebron’s excuse) when Chris Paul is playing with one arm during the Laker series. 🤣
Yes and he was also out for COVID and had to be isolated!
We have to remember a few things one cp3 was put for a portion of the playoffs too. With him out they were still winning. Finally though staying healthy and keeping your body ready is a skill and important factor you must be able to use
LOW when we getting a second channel video
Yeah the Suns faced every team without their star players but they were still the 2nd seed in the east and did what they were supposed to do when teams are fully loaded. If they would have lost we would have been saying they're trash cuz they couldnt beat the same teams
Finally we're getting the respect we deserve💯💯 but we're not finished at all
A true point guard makes a difference
Ayton was also the consensus #1 pick at the time, if I'm not mistaken.
Nah just for suns
Honestly I saw the cp3 changing being huge for them, but I wasn't expecting a second seed or to actually make it to the finals. I think they could have beat the nuggets and clippers both fully healthy, ayton and the guards are too good and their wing rotation is very solid.
All teams healthy
Lakers suns : lakers in 6
Suns nuggets: suns in 6
Suns clippers: clippers in 6
In my opinion but it’s hard to say
I agree with Lakers and nuggets, but I gotta flip the clippers cause I don't see pg doing what he did if they have Leonard and cp3 wouldn't have been slow/missing for most of the games. It is hard to say tho
@@itssupermandoe2434 I can see that. But ya it’s hard to predict that typa stuff
At 4:51 only mentioning fox because of projected draft selection or ignoring John Collins, Jarrett Allen, Jonathan Isaac?
You should have 500k subscribers at this point. You are the most important person to NBA basketball. The only person on your level is Jimmy High roller. Everyone else trash. I’m definitely going to share your content more bro.
This mans a casual josh Jackson is balling out in Detroit
The bubble suns were on a tear. Chris Paul was the cherry on top
I love this new editing format
Jae Crowder is the new Igodala. Wherever he goes that team is in the finals.
Only 2 years😂😂
They also missed out on Donovan Mitchell (13th pick)
You should do the hawks next. They're rebuild has been perfect, with how well their young guys fit within the team's play style.
The Suns Are A Very Well Put Together Team
Thing is Phoenix deserved every single stray they caught until that bubble. You thought they could find their way eventually, but nothing like this.
He said they only missed on fox……. Has he never seen Mitchell,adebayo,collins,Isaac, or even OG play…..
Was gonna say they coulda had Mitchell or Bam. I’m still pissed the Blazers selected injury prone Zach Collins over Mitchell and Bam.
A very consistent theme when it comes to championship caliber teams not all but consistent Is that the most important part of a championship caliber team is having strong leadership in the front office
Hey, LOW! Great video as always. I was wondering what is the music you use in this video that you talk over. I’m really interested to hear them for myself.
The first positive LOW video in a while
Been waiting for this one
I’m so glad someone made this video
3p3 finally got what he needed in D book a scoring wing
Thanks for featuring my favorite team!
i have been waiting for the vid
Great video man, suns in 6 babyyy
The Cam Johnson draft part has some cap in it.
Cam Johnson being picked 11th was considered a wasted pick because usually freshman who had a stellar college or high school season, "project players" and raw talent with potential are drafted higher. That is why players like Lamelo Ball, Andrew Wiggins, RJ Barrett, Thon Maker, Giannis and Sekou (those 2 are 15th but whatever) are drafted in the lottery a little higher than usual. Cam Johnson's game is perfect for playoff teams without not much elite shooting options (Bucks, Raptors, Mavericks). Besides, the Suns can just easily draft Cam Johnson at 24th (which they used to draft Ty Jerome).
I mean take a look at the teams picking after 11th in the 2019 draft:
Charlotte (12th) ain't picking a senior over a sophomore in PJ Washington.
Miami (13th) are overcrowded with forwards so they picked a guard in Tyler Herro.
Boston (14th, 22nd) ain't picking a scoring forward since Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum are in the team.
Detroit (15th) ,Memphis (21st) and OKC (23rd) are looking for project players, Sekou, Brandon Clarke and Darius Bazley are one of them.
Orlando (16th) is the same situation with the Heat.
New Orleans (17th) ain't picking Cam Johnson after they just drafted Zion.
The teams that might draft Cam Johnson is the Spurs (19th) for added forward depth and Pacers (18th) and 76ers (20th) for added shooting though asking a a late lottery rookie to score points off the bench for your team might be foolish to some GMs.
I always liked DBook but never thought he would have a chance at a ring
I am very happy for the Suns especially CP3. Win or lose they all did well this past season.
I’m still giving the Suns a lot of credit because one of the best things a team can do is stay healthy and that’s exactly what they did.
Ayton taking the leap sealed the deal
Anyone else remember when they tried to act like Kyle kuzma and picks for devin booker would be a good trade 😂
The thumb nail says it all. Book growing a beard made all the difference
Great video. I'll sub.
When refreshing the page brings you a new LOW video 😏:
Lifelong bulls fan but man is it great to see my name sake from UNC in the finals
0:21 my man compared Book to Lou Will 🤦🏿♂️. I'm sleeeeeeeep
Honestly if phoenix wins I honestly think they won the right way and have more respect for them for putting a team together instead on going out and recruiting superstars because you see so many organizations give in to these guys demands making them bigger than the team but I'm glad that there are teams who believe in the process still
Why does everyone skip the fact that chris Paul was also injured during the lakers series and the fact that in both of the LA series the refs being so blatantly against the suns?
Did u see the amount of free throws devin booker alone shot in the Lakers series stop it with the ref bs
Also chris Paul was hurt during the Lakers series not injured
He didn’t break or fracture anything
@@shagames9307 oh yea but your darling LeBron hurts his ankle waaaay in the season yet thats not the same as cp3 hurting his shoulder? So gtfo, Booker had the most shots in total for the suns and LeBron for the lakers, and booker still shot more then LeBron in total so of course out of everyone on the suns he got the most free throws yet EVEN THEN booker got called for NINETEEN personal fouls and LeBron only got called for Seven so stfu about the refs not being bullshit, the entire stat sheet for things like this is in the favor for the lakers, the lakers had more free throws the lakers had less fouls and the lakers stars were called for less personal fouls than the suns stars were and you cant tell me anything about ad being hurt because so was cp3 and Even then ad missed one more game than cp3 did so is he did play that game and even if we were being generous about his fouls lets say he got 3 he would barely have the same amount of fouls that cp3 got. Man get outta here with yo bs
@@shagames9307 to to mention something that isn't even tracked the refs were missing soooo many more calls for the suns than they were for the lakers, they were letting the lakers get away with waay too much stuff
Bam Adebayo was in that 2017 class tho my boy As well as Mitchell (but he a 2 guard so I understand why that wouldn’t have been a smart pick)
Ayton is looking like a young David Robinson out there
James Jones and Monty Williams have done a great job. Ask Robert Sarver!
Great edit at the beginning
Highly unusual... But it is a good thing for the NBA. Teams need hope they can win it all. It is a good narrative.
Going crazy this year!
I dropped a like off the strength of the opening edit alone!!
