Goran Retires

Dragic was part of two of our most fun seasons and he is definitely one of my favourite Suns ever.

Will probably even get into HOF because of his FIBA career as well.

I can watch that dismantling of the Spurs over and over… they **** on Goran With that horrible, hydra, BS… and it seems a decade of bad basketball followed. Thanks again McDickjam.

Why does it feel like our front office just sabotages this team?

I can’t believe Goran is retiring, he seems like a fella that can play another 15 years in the NBA. That series against the spurs was poetry. We swept them easily and Dragic had an epic game 3 where he couldn’t miss a shot and Pop had absolutely no answer for him. I was super stoked ended up streaking, but had to quit my streaking days since a couple of girls laughed and giggled at my small package. The end. :(

I've watched that 4th quarter most than any other game ever. It was the happiest I've felt as a fan in a long time.

Is that the origin story of why you turned to AI women?

That sweep, particularly the game 3 where he owned the Spurs, was one of the most satisfying moments as a Suns fan, especially after the robbery in ‘07.

Anything McD touched, turned into ****.

What a career for a guy who was looked at as being high end talent, a bit below average athletically and initially looked really awkward running around the court. But the guy absolutely maximised what he had and put together a really great career. Aside from the bad McD picks, the handling of the Dragic situation is right up there as his worst as the GM of the Suns.

One of my all time favorite Suns. A guy that literally looked worse than maybe the average YMCA player during his first stint and then became a starting caliber and borderline All Star caliber PG. His run in the playoffs was amazing and so was his play during the 48 win season.

Wish he could’ve won a ring in 2020 with Miami. Definitely deserved it. Best of luck in retirement to him though.

That's a great line up with Scola and Nash!! I wish I could go. Always wanted to go to Slovenia.
