@ yeah but that was a couple years prior. Another example of Sarver’s penny pinching hurting the team. It did lead to the Suns trading for Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley though and they were fun.
Phoenix was smart, Amare wanted his contract to have a clause if his knees gave out his money would still be guaranteed and Phoenix said nah nah. New York gave him that clause in his contract and Amare barely played like a All Star 2 yrs.
Yep, around that time, Amare probably had the most famous knee issues in the NBA, I believe Microfracture surgery on each leg..........his career pretty much went the way everyone expected it to, Phoeniz made the right call
but yet injuries are higher, scoring has barely budged despite all the incentives to the offense and next to zero D being played and the 3pt percentage league wide is still sitting in the 30% area
In the long run not resigning Stoudamire was the right move but in typical Sarver thinking, he didn't want to pay Amare but we paid a ton for average to below average players the next few years so we got worse while saving almost no money. We would have been better off running it back one more year because after that we sucked for the next decade plus. Not to mention during those Nash-Amare years we could have had Luol Deng, Nate Robinson, Martin Gortat coming off of the bench and still had Joe Johnson if Sarver wasn't such a cheap owner. Sarver had so much talent and so many opportunities to add more talent and depth but cared more about money, even though he was going to be making a ton already, than winning a title.
BREAKS MY HEART to learn he really wanted to stay with Nash and Phoenix in 2010 but we let him walk. Our stupid ex-owner!!! We wouldve been a playoff team 2011 and Phx wouldve kept him healthy.
The Suns had the worst run of luck possible from 05-07 and the opener was cheap. 05 Joe Johnson gets hurt in the playoffs and in the summer the owner trades him instead of paying him. 06 Amar’e gets injured and they lose in the WCF. 07 Amar’e and Raja get suspended for game 5 in a 2-2 series. Then Kerr comes in, trades Matrix for Shaq and the 7 seconds or less Suns were no more.
They didnt win because the west was brutal. The top 6 seeds were basically guaranteed to win the title. There was 1 year if i remember correctly. If it was just out of the top 8 to make the playoffs, only 1 eastern conference team woulsve made the playoffs. The west WAS NBA BASKETBALL. You put any of those teams in the east and they wouldve had a chance at a chip. But to get there in the west was brutal
I never liked stat or nash cus i sucked at ball so I was a defensive rebounding pesty guy n I prioritized that in the teams n players I watched. As a knicks fan I struggle with it accepting KAT n Brunson. I see Nash n Stat all over
@@KyleKelce Joe Johnson was always iso heavy. Nash, like everyone else was a beneficiary of D'antoni's pg centric, offense focused system. Nash wasn't that guy anywhere else. His success translated worse than Joe Johnsons and Amar'es.
@@xavierjohnson4496 Exactly. And Nash looked more valuable solely because, they didn't have a legit backup pg to run the offense. Goofy fans were trying to make Holmgren out to be OKC's "true mvp" too when he went down with injury this year and rhey struggled. Anyone with hoops sense knew that OKC would get back to their winning ways if they had even 1 quality big in the lineup to start games. Then, Hartenstein got healthy and the fans got introduced to a dose of reality.
@LUMBEEPHENOM2012 nah bruh he looks like he never stopped working out since leaving the league, you're talking about a athlete who's been fit all is his life he probably takes it serious

@@kb5509 exactly. I like Kyrie and he's made a lot of growth as a person and done a lot of good things but people make so many excuses for him when he's often been his own worst enemy.

Amare going against Tim Duncan was always a matchup that i always wanted
Steve Nash was filthy
especially on defense. purrrrrre trash
2 times mvp
@@bakgammonhe could play defense tho
@@mighthookya2637defense lowkey 80% energy
Nasty Nash, Filthy Finley, And Dirty Dirk!
I'm a Suns fan and that Ron Artest put back is still my worst sports-fan related memory. I was so sad they didn't keep the team together
The Suns could’ve kept Joe Johnson that would’ve helped.
@ yeah but that was a couple years prior. Another example of Sarver’s penny pinching hurting the team. It did lead to the Suns trading for Jason Richardson and Jared Dudley though and they were fun.
@@maxpennacchini3261lmao Jason Richardson that dirty dog lol absolutely filthy
Nash would be a beast today. It sounds curmudgeon 😂 but nobody in todays game would be willing to chase him around for 35 minutes
Toni Parker was a beast for a guard to
Lead the league in paint points is crazy.
Toni Parker was also a-BEAST-to Brent Barry when he was doing his wife. LOL.
He did lead the league in "points in the paint" for most of the 2005-06 season
Tony Parker was so underrated during his actual prime.
A beast
Stoudemire should have stayed with the suns. They had the best medical staff in the league and saved grant hills career.
Helped Penny too
Amare was such of Beast , one kf my favorites

What’s up with the blurs?
RUclips money
Corporate sponsors
Yall got my Dog on. 👍
Love when Stot talked about Nash going to the *urban* clubs with the team and getting down 😂
That corner 3 as opposed to tryna dunk or even jump into contact, the numbers say injury is less prone on the jumper
Yet injuries are up
but yet injuries are higher, scoring has barely budged despite all the incentives to the offense and next to zero D being played and the 3pt percentage league wide is still sitting in the 30% area
Amare Used to kill like he said" In n Out Dribble n Rise n Poster Worst case, And 1 Best Case Scenario... Amare in Pheonix was SCARYHOURS
It was such a a better sport 80 to 2010
I miss the type of basketball they are talking about!
7:22 TP was a monster that year

Tony Parker was different invented the floater teardrop shot
Lol no he didn’t pistol Pete in the 70’s was doing floaters
@@Door2Dumpster You're alive in the 70's
I stole that floater from Tony when I was starting out playing, I tried it out a couplke months ago and completely lost the touch on the floater lol
I miss the way basketball used to be. I don't really care if the shot goes in; if it's a dumb, low-percentage shot, then it shouldn't be taken.

Kobe and Shaq didn’t have a great relationship so that statement is not always true

07 was their best chance to win…. that goddamn Horry….. they would’ve swept the Cavs in the finals too
Amare was nice. The suns got robbed WCF in 05
Not Mike packin a lip
poorly
What do you mean?
@@JitinMisra like he clearly has chewing tobacco in his lip
Polk County, Flawda
🎉
Can't win without defense even in this nba.....playoffs and finals...have to play defense to win
Joe Johnson was better off without Nash
Joe Johnson made Joe Johnson tons of money. He was one of the coldest players in the league.
Honestly it's Dantoni that made ALL of them money. Nash wasn't doing that in Dallas. It was the system. He did it again in Houston with James.
I don’t think Iso Joe really needed a point guard to make him some money😂😂

Amare Juicing?
🥷🏾 always looked like this
@@NORTHSID3that’s how you know it’s juice or TRT. Older you get the harder it is to look that way
Nah he just looks filled out b/c he's put on some body fat.

Kyrie threw himself under the bus by acting like a massive weirdo for about 7 years.
Don't act like Kyrie wasnt acting like the NBA version of post Kardashian Kanye. Kyrie screwed Kyrie.
