S2E36 - A season for the Books, and shooting down Ayton of disrespect

Published: May 26, 2022, 7 a.m.

It has been a week-plus since the Suns season has ended. Basketball moves on, but the Suns still find themselves in the weird realm of offseason basketball purgatory.  A surely exciting offseason is coming up ahead, but in the meantime the Suns and other teams have to wait for the NBA Playoffs to end. Sadly, the playoff games have been blowouts lately for the most part. It has been tough to watch at times. 

Despite all that, Suns Mode listenership was strong as ever last week, and there is still tons to talk about here EVERY THURSDAY, at midnight AZ time. This week, I start by giving out some very well deserved recognition to our most recent award winners

  • Devin Booker All-NBA and stats for the season / overview of career
  • CP3 All-NBA and stats for the season
  • Karl-Anthony Towns takes third All-NBA center spot
  • Snubs
  • Contract eligibility situation for Devin Booker, KAT now that they are All-NBA players.

Sadly, some of our favorite and most popular content creators are running away with a personal piece Deandre Ayton did with ESPN about his love and passion for video games, saying that his commitment to the video games is leading to a lack of said commitment on the basketball court. I find this kind of talk fairly embarrassing (especially coming from guys that can't do anything athletically) and wanted to state my opinion on Deandre's hobby. Before we hop on the Spaceship, we have an Ayton conversation.

And of course, much like every week this Suns offseason, we are hopping on the Spaceship, where we will be flying back and forth from Mercury to the Sun. 

  • Following up on 2-2 start
  • Three new consecutive losses to the Wings, Aces and Sparks and takeaways from each game 
  • High scoring games
  • Upcoming matchups Sunday vs Dream, Tuesday WNBA Finals rematch vs Chicago Sky. AND how the Merc can get back in the Win column.
  • I love Candace Parker


And I end this weeks episode with yet another call to action, yet another message to FREE BRITTNEY GRINER. We are approaching 100 days of BG's wrongful detention in Russia and that is absolutely not okay. BG and her family need to be priority #1 for anybody involved in this situation. and please GET HER HOME

Remember to spread love and #ValleyExcellence, and be a Diamond! Excited to meet you guys on the Spaceship again next Thursday!

LETS GO MERC LETS GO MERC LETS GO MERC LETS GO MERC

FREE BG. WE ARE BG
