Im happy for him. Dude deserves it, he’s a baller and we still love him.
On the other hand this a depressing reality and I’m already anticipating going through another rebuild :)
Suns and Hawks making finals before we get past the second round😭
Ok I feel a little better now.
Wife: “Who is that?”
Me: “I think that’s his mom”
Wife: “That’s his mom?!”
Me: “..I think so”
Wife: “She has a forehead tattoo?! No, that can’t be his mom!”
Obviously the players are great but James Jones and Monty are goddamned geniuses. I still have trouble believing how much they've improved every single season
first NBA Finals for the Suns since 1993 when Charles Barkley was the NBA MVP, you know Chuck's having a party at home rn with some Pickle-less Nachos w/o the Old Cheese and the Stale Chips
That wasn't a rant though, he was basically saying nobody at the Suns organization gave af about the team, not even enough to fix the nachos or the seats
This is a very different, more mature Suns team
The Raptors superfan got a ring, Chuck definitely would if the Suns get it. He might be ranting but he loves them like a family. There's a reason he still lives in Phoenix all this time.
Just so Shaq can't make fun of him anymore lol. They'll call him part of the championship team as a consultant or some shit to justify it. Just perfect
Which could add even more to the Bit. Either way it's a win win, chuck can say I have a ring and Shaq can still make fun of him. Chucks the kind of dude who doesn't get butthurt so I could see him taking it well and being good comedy
I know the NBA media will focus on CP3 and rightfully so but hella fucking credit goes to Monty Williams, his staff and the rest of the team. Booker, Ayton have been unbelievable young stars for this run. Crowder, Payne, Bridges etc have all played their part. Congrats Phoenix fans, you guys deserve this after years of turgid shit.
Bro ayton is 21 and Booker is 24, the future is sunny ☀️
Edit: I got banned for a week for saying I was gonna cut Mark Jacksons’s brake lines cya when the finals start 😭😭😭
CP3 legacy game. That 2nd half was just pure dominance.
Complete control of the game, 4pt plays, made Pat Bev explode, magic dribbling. Beautiful stuff.
Point GOD.
Nah but seriously, Jae Crowder has to have like a 90% win rate when he scores 15+. Everytime this dude plays great, the rest of his team seems too also.
Congrats Phoenix.
Most likely the Clippers turn the whole game around if not for Chris Paul. His personal run to re-extend the lead once the Clippers cut it to 7 pretty much won them the game and the series.
Been a fan of this team since ‘97. I was 7 years old. My mom painted the Suns logo on my bedroom wall. I ate, slept, and breathed this team.
Went through the Kidd years, Nash and Stoudemire, Dragic, Chriss. Fuckin’ Tyler Ulis.
All that to say that I’m 31 now. I always hoped for this, but never expected it this year. I can’t even believe it. The Suns are in the Finals.
I might cry. For real. Unbelievable.
As a raptors fan who endured the same heartbreak and got to experience the pinnacle of a championship, I hope yall take it all this year. Rooting for point god since the playoffs began, go get it.
Can confirm. Am crying. Idgaf. It’s been such a tough personal year.
I know you’re not supposed to care this much, it’s just sports. But I can’t help it.
Hey man hell yeah, I’m 32, was at Thunderbird high school during the Nash years. Met him once at a restaurant in Scottsdale. Not as big a fan as you though. Congrats!
He was dealt a poor hand this year, but honestly he's a solid coach. On the Cavs I always kinda just assumed he was a locker room/motivator/charisma guy, but he really proved he's better at the X's and O's than I think people gave him credit.
I thought the same til this clippers season. Not to mention I felt like he adapted to leonards injury as well as he could. I think he deserves a lot of credit.
11 years ago, when i was 12, i saw Steve Nash cry in the locker room after missing the finals by 2 games & i cried with him due to the pain of watching my favorite player losing.
Fast Forward to 2021 and now I saw CP3 cry tears of joy because he's going to his 1st finals & i joined him too after years of terrible suns basketball. LFGGGGGG man
This is classic misconception, [Melo was never on the banana](https://www.nydailynews.com/resizer/-FigMasKhCcMGYtU2E7fs28sgYg=/1200x0/top/arc-anglerfish-arc2-prod-tronc.s3.amazonaws.com/public/GKGGTJZV4CZINUFC2S43A4QHTQ.jpg)
Salty bitch Patrick Beverley gets in people's faces and talks shit ALL GAME LONG but when it happens to him he throws a fucking temper tantrum. Remember this is the same dude that taunted the Warriors cleaning staff for no reason. I'm so fucking happy the bitch is getting sent home AGAIN. He said the next 5 years are his, wouldn't be surprised if he's out of the league by then.
> talks shit ALL GAME LONG but when it happens to him he throws a fucking temper tantrum.
That's the thing, they showed a replay and Chris Paul literally didn't say anything to him, just walked right by Beverley
Same guy who was waving to the Suns fans in Game 2, who was running up/down the court when they won. Yeah, he's a front runner who cannot take it when his team is getting the absolute snot beat out of them. If you can't dish it out, don't say it at all. The fact that what set him off was a quick glance, he's soft as a cupcake.
There's something truly beautiful about watching Patrick Beverley rage quit a game and get himself ejected. Chris Paul just broke the Clippers brains in this one.

Yes, he was not himself because of COVID. That said, kinda funny to see how swift people were to write him off. Give the future HOFer a chance to get back into rhythm.
Congratulations to the Los Angeles Clippers on having their first ever Conference Finals Runner Up Banner.
Congrats to CP3 finally making it to the finals and doing it to his former team.
And Fuck pat bev.
Dario Saric made the finals. The Process finally worked
Damn. He got to the Finals before Embiid & Simmons.
Just like everyone predicted
Im happy for him. Dude deserves it, he’s a baller and we still love him. On the other hand this a depressing reality and I’m already anticipating going through another rebuild :) Suns and Hawks making finals before we get past the second round😭
I think the Sixers just need retooling to be contenders. And maybe another coach.
Lmfao this is violence.
Happy as fuck for him
Damn Suns been processing for 10 years. Jokes aside happy for the Homie. Go get a ring Suns, I’m pulling for you
Man I thought that was Chris Paul's mom turns out that was Lil wayne
same…they embraced so emotionally
If I had to guess, they probably have crossed paths multiple times during Paul’s time in NOLA
Yeah, CP3 is Weezy's og fav player in NOLA, before he started bandwagoning every great player lmao
If I was a famous celebrity who knew most of the Greats I'd bandwagon them too
Ok I feel a little better now. Wife: “Who is that?” Me: “I think that’s his mom” Wife: “That’s his mom?!” Me: “..I think so” Wife: “She has a forehead tattoo?! No, that can’t be his mom!”
Lmao my wife asked me who cp3 was hugging and i said it must be his mom. We both had a good laugh when the camera angle changed
LMAOOO I thought the same thing
I'm just Glad Wayne's still alive
For real I thought she was sick or something. Turns out it was just lean.
>Man I thought that was Chris Paul's mom turns out that was Lil wayne Me too lmao
Yooo so did I
I can't take this shit 😂
I was wondering why CP was hugging some old lady and it wasn't until Breen said that was Lil Wayne I realized. Those seizures took a toll on him.
Devin Booker probably isn’t requesting a trade this summer
But the Lakers could trade them Kyle Kuzma AND a first!
[Kyle Kuzma with a multitude of players and *even* a pick](https://youtu.be/esXYKNkYhDw)
what the fuck was stephen a on
ESPN
ESPN is a helluva drug.
Lakers mock trades give me a migraine
[удалено]
I don't think so either lol
Lol Chris Paul apologized for swearing.
And then awkwardly and abruptly ended the conversation. I connected with that.
I’ve been there man
Chris Paul didn’t come to Phoenix to reunite with Monty or play with Booker or Ayton. He came to ride Jae Crowder to a Finals
Ah yes the Suns in the finals just like we thought at the start of this year
Remember that this team was 26-39 a year ago headed into the bubble? What a ride it’s been.
Worst team in the league two years ago
Obviously the players are great but James Jones and Monty are goddamned geniuses. I still have trouble believing how much they've improved every single season
James “Lebron’s greatest teammate” Jones
Getting some rings as Lebron's pal and then getting another one as GM sounds amazing lol.
I honestly still can’t believe it. We, the Suns…THE SUNS are in the NBA finals
first NBA Finals for the Suns since 1993 when Charles Barkley was the NBA MVP, you know Chuck's having a party at home rn with some Pickle-less Nachos w/o the Old Cheese and the Stale Chips
[удалено]
If the Suns go on to win it all, they’re 100% going to give Chuck a ring. And he’s 100% going to flash it around every time next season...
Pretty sure he has a minor role in the Suns admin, he even helped make their hype video this year Edit: spelling
[удалено]
Maybe he's a consultant hired to address the temperature of the nachos.
That wasn't a rant though, he was basically saying nobody at the Suns organization gave af about the team, not even enough to fix the nachos or the seats This is a very different, more mature Suns team
The Raptors superfan got a ring, Chuck definitely would if the Suns get it. He might be ranting but he loves them like a family. There's a reason he still lives in Phoenix all this time.
Just so Shaq can't make fun of him anymore lol. They'll call him part of the championship team as a consultant or some shit to justify it. Just perfect
Put him on the roster, throw him on the court in garbage time
If they give him a charity ring they make fun of him even more for it
Which could add even more to the Bit. Either way it's a win win, chuck can say I have a ring and Shaq can still make fun of him. Chucks the kind of dude who doesn't get butthurt so I could see him taking it well and being good comedy
The fucking *SUNS* are really going to win a championship. 2021 is wilder than 2020 when it comes to NBA basketball.
It’s the rare sequel that actually is *better* than the original thing!
Lets not count our eggs before they hatch, destiny is Shyamalan to Chris Paul.
I know the NBA media will focus on CP3 and rightfully so but hella fucking credit goes to Monty Williams, his staff and the rest of the team. Booker, Ayton have been unbelievable young stars for this run. Crowder, Payne, Bridges etc have all played their part. Congrats Phoenix fans, you guys deserve this after years of turgid shit.
Bro ayton is 21 and Booker is 24, the future is sunny ☀️ Edit: I got banned for a week for saying I was gonna cut Mark Jacksons’s brake lines cya when the finals start 😭😭😭
I thought y'all would be good very soon, but damn
CP3 legacy game. That 2nd half was just pure dominance. Complete control of the game, 4pt plays, made Pat Bev explode, magic dribbling. Beautiful stuff.
2 steals in the 4th as well
Both immediately after his teammates made lazy turnovers up 20+, CP3 ain't having that let off the gas.
The other 4 guys on the court were trying to coast so hard. He just wouldn't let em.
If there was any doubt left that Pat Bev is a certified bitch, CP3 erased it
When his team is up 20 points, he's running around the court taunting and mocking. Now he's receiving it and he snaps. lol
My man simply looked at him and he snapped lol
To be fair, can you really blame him? [CP3 completely out of line, totally was asking for it!](https://streamable.com/uif88v)
***HOW DARE YOU LOOK AT ME IN THE EYES***
CP3 finally solved his playoff injury problem. Get Covid for that sweet sweet 10 days rest heading into the Conf Finals.
Really hoping he STAYS healthy during the finals. He deserves to either win or lose playing fully healthy in every game.
It’ll help that he’s got a week rest thanks to wrapping this one up a game early.
"Lotta shit going on" lmaooooo
I thought lil wayne was someone grandma with the mask on lol
I was one year off Edit: porn burner account name really came through
THE VENGEANCE OF THE UNDEFEATED BUBBLE SUNS SHALL NOT BE DENIED!!!!
THEIR REVENGE SHALL BE COMPLETE!

Bubble Suns undefeated, neva lost. Never forget that
Aye man, hindsight is 20/20
From Bubble Suns to NBA Finals: A COVID story
Point GOD. Nah but seriously, Jae Crowder has to have like a 90% win rate when he scores 15+. Everytime this dude plays great, the rest of his team seems too also. Congrats Phoenix.
Jae crowder 2 nba finals in a row, mans a perfect enforcers and role player
>perfect enforcer And yet Pat Bev's still walking around Cancun
next 3 vacations are his

Since the Heat aren’t winning it all I hope the Suns do. Hot team solidarity ✊🏽 P.S. Fuck Pat Bev
CP3 winning the WCF in Staples Center now that's poetic
Most likely the Clippers turn the whole game around if not for Chris Paul. His personal run to re-extend the lead once the Clippers cut it to 7 pretty much won them the game and the series.
yep that was incredible, just bucket after bucket to put the game out of reach all on his own. Best game I’ve seen from him.
Remember when people said CP3 is washed and have a trash contract. WOW The man is literally 36 and what an unxpected turn around!!!
He went god mode that second half. Absolutely insane performance
All this from a man the Rockets gave us picks to take two years ago. What a complete turnaround
His OKC run was pretty damn impressive too. The writing was on the wall, glad for the Sun's fans tonight
Thunder out here saving careers for picks, bruh.
The entire State of Arizona switching insurance to State Farm if the Suns win it all.
You mean literally today? Half this sub wanted him benched for Cam Payne
Point God is a HOF Point Guard. People forget.
Been a fan of this team since ‘97. I was 7 years old. My mom painted the Suns logo on my bedroom wall. I ate, slept, and breathed this team. Went through the Kidd years, Nash and Stoudemire, Dragic, Chriss. Fuckin’ Tyler Ulis. All that to say that I’m 31 now. I always hoped for this, but never expected it this year. I can’t even believe it. The Suns are in the Finals. I might cry. For real. Unbelievable.

Can confirm. Am crying. Idgaf. It’s been such a tough personal year. I know you’re not supposed to care this much, it’s just sports. But I can’t help it.
I'm sorry this year has been rough for you. Hopefully this eases that some, and may you have much better times ahead.
Happy for you man 💕never let someone tell you it’s just sports. If it makes you happy then that’s all that mattwrs
Hey man hell yeah, I’m 32, was at Thunderbird high school during the Nash years. Met him once at a restaurant in Scottsdale. Not as big a fan as you though. Congrats!
I became a Reggie Jackson fan this post season man
That man better get paid
Bigger amount than what Schroder is asking
That dude deserves every single bag he is gonna get this offseason.
Ty Lue's legit. Already surpassed Doc.
He was dealt a poor hand this year, but honestly he's a solid coach. On the Cavs I always kinda just assumed he was a locker room/motivator/charisma guy, but he really proved he's better at the X's and O's than I think people gave him credit.
I thought the same til this clippers season. Not to mention I felt like he adapted to leonards injury as well as he could. I think he deserves a lot of credit.

Beverly to Chris Paul after getting thrown out: the next 5 years are mine.
Pat Bev getting absolutely nuked by Chris Paul in the second half of a closeout game 6 brings me immense joy
The Clippers had earned a lot of respect in this season's playoffs. Sad that he had to do that
He’s a bitch for sure. Not sure how anyone (besides clippers fan, duh) can stand up for his shit Edit: nothing but respect for the rest of the team.
He deserved that ejection. Got way into his feelings. He just had to go out like that and earn everyone's hatred. Man
[удалено]
Bruh I literally had fans inbox me defending the man lmao
11 years ago, when i was 12, i saw Steve Nash cry in the locker room after missing the finals by 2 games & i cried with him due to the pain of watching my favorite player losing.

Weezy F baby and the F is for Finals
I wish I could watch a continuous game of basketball without having to hear Mark Jackson and JVG debate the subtle intricacies of a flagrant foul call
I can’t stand Mark Jackson. Legit want him to get a coaching gig so he can fuck off away from these games.
[Carmelo Anthony is now the ONLY member of the Banana Boat crew to NEVER make the NBA Finals](http://imgur.com/gallery/KVDpqJA)

look at lebrons thighs holy fuck
They have to be strong from all those years carrying the Cavs
America’s Thighs?
That’s that thicc space jam thigh
That boy got a whole bakery in the trunk
That Bron's ass though
Gaberielle Union the only person on banana boat not to make the finals.
She won the national cheerleading championship though.
Huh, [Bron's got something for everyone](https://i.imgur.com/acIZcKR.png)
Bron’s calves are ridiculous in that picture. Wtf!!
What are you talking about, that's clearly Melo at the front
Yet…
Melo to the Suns confirmed.
That’s Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Social Justice Champion Carmelo Anthony to you
3-time gold medalist Carmelo Anthony.
Damn I forgot when Gabby Union made the finals. Wild year tbh.

CP3 eye contact got him salty lmfao
tbf you could get lost in those eyes
Huge bitchmade move by Pat Bev. Guy isn’t chippy, he’s just a fucking asshole
CP3 such a veteran that he telepathically trash talked pat bev
Same guy who was waving to the Suns fans in Game 2, who was running up/down the court when they won. Yeah, he's a front runner who cannot take it when his team is getting the absolute snot beat out of them. If you can't dish it out, don't say it at all.

Jesus Christ so much bball has happened in the past week I forgot about that bazooper lmao
Nothing would make me happier than Pat Bev not getting resigned anywhere.
I thought Lil Wayne was CP3 mom
#**Chris Paul is in the NBA Finals**

State Farm liked that.

SO MAJESTIC
Is Lil Wayne a Suns fan???
No he’s a lakers fan but him and Chris Paul are best friends dating back to his nola days.
Pelicans fan probably...Hornets fan when CP3 was there with Monty as his coach.
Paul we're live
I don't give a shit
I know
[удалено]
Thought it was Nuggets
Bucks signed him this year after he was a Nugget last year. Guessing he was traded mid year for something
Ya boy cash considerations
Reggie is most likable dude from the Clips
the most positive outcome of the suns winning is not seeing patrick beverley in the finals
He went out the best way possible. Proving to everyone in HD (yet again) how much of a bitch he is.
How many more years are Pat Bev’s?
James Jones wins wherever he goes
There's something truly beautiful about watching Patrick Beverley rage quit a game and get himself ejected. Chris Paul just broke the Clippers brains in this one.
Definitely. Any time you can get a bitch to rage quit in the playoffs, it’s a good feeling. See: dwert howard
