Be a Phoenix Suns Fan

By Judy Hedding, About.com

The Phoenix Suns have had their ups and downs, but it still takes years on the waiting list to get good season tickets. How can you tell if you are a true fan?
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: A few seasons

Here's How:

  1. You have enough Suns shirts to wear a different one to work every day of the playoffs.
  2. You keep a small stuffed Phoenix Suns Gorilla on your desk at work.
  3. You still wear your Barkley jersey (but only when you are at home watching the game on TV.)
  4. You own earrings with the Suns logo (not restricted to women).
  5. Every season you say "I hope we get a big center next year." And guess what? In 2008 it finally happened. But then he left and we're without a big center again.
  6. You'd recognize Al McCoy's voice anywhere.
  7. You fondly remember Cotton Fitzsimmons' voice.
  8. You know that if you take the word "suns" and turn it upside down, you get . . . .
  9. You know which Suns player was the only one to play in all 82 regular season games during the 1999-2000 season.
  10. No matter what team the Suns are playing, you scream "Beat L.A! Beat L.A!"
