Back From Battle

Hey what’s happening good people? Glad to see the responses from you guys. I’m just getting off a tiring road trip.  We went 3-3. We should’ve won all of those games, but the chemistry just wasn’t flowing. We made plenty of mistakes, but we’re learning each other better. So don’t give up on us.  Remember who we are, Phoenix.  We always rise from the ashes.  Teams go through tough times, but the darkest hour is just before dawn.  We’ll bounce back to the team you love to watch. Look out for us in these next few games. I’m just happy to get a good night’s rest right now.  Being on the road for nearly two weeks takes a toll on you.  But I can’t wait to face off with the Warriors.  It’s going to be exciting being back in the Bay Area.  They get “hyphy”  lol.

On The real…With all the excitement surrounding All-Star Weekend, I started thinking about all of the great people I’ve met throughout the years.  Many of whom are doing major things, but usually go unrecognized.  So let’s pay tribute to them over the next couple of weeks.  “Do you know any All-Stars?”   If so, tell me what makes you or someone you know an All Star!  I’d love to feature them in my online magazine, “Xtreme Elevation”.  I love to hear about my fans!  So get to writing! lol.  

On Thursday we have a tough game against San Antonio, then we get a chance to get some retribution against the Bulls.  We owe ‘em one.  Let’s go planet orange!! Ha ha.  I see that someone asked about my birthday. It was pretty cool, Stoudemire and the rest of the guys hosted something for me while we were in NYC. But there’s nothing better than spending that time with the “fam”.   Aunt Geri, you owe me one of your famous homemade chocolate cakes. 

Until next time…

What’s going on world please tell me you all watched that Steelers game! Unfortunately I was on a plane but it’s all good, we got Saginaw in the Super bowl. I am extremely excited and happy for Lamar and the Woodley family. I don’t want to say too much they are playing against Arizona and I do live here LOL. Arizona also deserves a Congratulation on their division title. I know what its like to turn around a losing organization, so I think that it’s going to be a good game. We’re going to have to talk about the scheduling next year, it seems like were playing during every game. Last year was cool we played the Suns the same weekend as the Super bowl. Man!! That was one of the most hype crowds that I’ve ever seen. If I ever got another chance to I would definitely do it again. Hopefully Wood and I both will be bringing home rings.

I always wished I would have gone to the Yankee stadium before it closed down. There’s a lot of baseball history in that building and I would have liked to have visited. Someone asked the question, who do I like to really play against? I’ll play ANYONE, but up tempo teams I love, like a Dallas, Chicago, LA, and even Phoenix before I came. I love a good challenge!! You also asked, who do I like playing against personally? Honestly I like playing against players I came up with. I’ve been playing against talented players like Charlie Bell, Keith Bogans, Z-Bo, Morris Peterson and many others since AAU, High School and College. We all worked hard to get here, and to be on the big stage together truly is a blessing!! Also I love to bring it to the new rookies on the team and give them a clinic. There heads sometime gets a little big and I just like to show them how to work to maintain a job in this league.

As far as the Suns Show, I don’t want to speak too much for the Denver game because I might get fined LOL. For some reason teams have been just letting their defenders guard Shaq one on one HUH! I don’t get it because our big man still got it. On top of that he’s shooting free throws as well as Guards. That game had a playoff atmosphere; we played hard just not enough to sustain a lead at the end. Toronto was our fault; we should have lost the way we got relaxed at the end. We are going to have to maintain our energy for 48 minutes or we’ll be out in the first round. As far as All-Star weekend, I would love to be a judge of the dunk contest or I would love to be the first one to win the 3 point and the dunk contest. Someone also said that I don’t dunk anymore! What games have you been watching? I try to give you what you ask for; you know if I get open I like to excite the crowd. We’ll see what happens in the games to come talk to you later. Stay tuned to the Suns Show.

Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening!! So who are you taken to win the Super bowl?? I try not to be but I am a little bias watching Saginaw Native Lamarr Woodley play for the Steelers. Their first game is today so I wish #56 all the best. I love football I played one year until I hurt my leg. My Uncle made me hang up my cleats right after that. I guess he made the right decision LOL!! I’m a fan of all sports. You might catch me watching anything from high school sports, college, to world championship poker. My brothers and I play fantasy football but with my schedule I sometimes forget to do my line up.

I don’t really feel like discussing it, but we’ve been taking so many heartbreaking losses. It was like we were fighting up hill all game against Indiana. I’d rather loose by twenty than to loose at the buzzer. We won against the Clippers last night, even though their record doesn’t say it; they’re still a dangerous team. Even with the injuries they had some good players.

My mom came to visit thank God!! Ramen noodles can only get you so far! When she’s here it’s like Thanksgiving in January. Not to mention I have a birthday in eight days so she’ll probably get my gift before she leaves (Hint Hint). My twin brother and sister's birthdays are two days after mine, we usually celebrate them together. I’m going to miss not being with them that weekend.

See you next Monday enjoy the Suns Show!!

Happy New Year

Good morning, Good afternoon, Good evening!! Welcome to the world of back to back basketball, against the Thunder I felt good. Then we flew to Memphis and soon as the whistle blew I couldn’t get a golf ball to go into the hoop. I was deeply disappointed in my play but in this business bad games happen. Once I got back home my day consisted of returning gifts that my kids made defective. Their just like me and my brothers, cause my mother would be returning gifts by the 27^th because we would want them to do more than what was on the commercial. I really appreciate all the love that I am getting on the site, and I can’t wait to see who wins the Golden ball game. The guy on the song is my little cousin and that song is hot he has some more joints coming soon so look out!! Someone asked do I have a record label? No I don’t, but I love music! I’m more of an Old School fan as well as a fan of the Lil Wayne’s, Maroon 5, Beyonce, Nerd, the Bay and other underground artist.

These games were a learning experience because it taught us how to play without Steve and Stat. We had to lean on our bench Jared played big on both ends, Barbosa was on fire and Matt was being his energetic self bringing instant points. Give us a little more time to gel and great things will come. Just in case you missed it M.S.U. 77 Northwestern 66 Go Green Go White!! See you next Monday and stay tune to the Suns Show!
