This is the new pre-game introduction video for the Phoenix Suns. Grant Hill, Amare Stoudemire, Steve Nash, Boris Diaw, Leandro Barbosa, and Raja Bell were already residents of Planet Orange. The Big Aristotle Shaquille O’Neal is the new addition and he’s playing the role of Shaqzilla.
In two games with Phoenix, Shaq looks rejuvenated.. And a little out of place. That’s to be expected but the Suns coaching staff has to come up with a way to get Shaquille the ball where he’s comfortable. Having Shaq slip screens from the top of the key, catch the ball at the free throw line, and then make a move to the basket isn’t gonna work. Shaq can’t face the basket and shoot past 8 feet, and he can’t dribble. Mike D’Antoni has a beautiful mind for basketball offense, so they’ll get this problem solved.
It looks like the Suns have already been dipping into NFL playbooks when it comes to looking for an advantage over the competition. Phoenix isn’t secretly taping other teams, but they are doing what the Dallas Cowboys did to Jesse Palmer and the New York Giants.
Well done Phoenix. You earned that victory.
