Bickley Blast: The Phoenix Suns have our attention in a very good way

Public pressure can doom a sports franchise. It can make you draft a local kid rather than a transcendent player from Europe. It can make you give into a pesky agent and hand an enormous contract to a dimminionative quarterback. And his buddy Ryan once said, “If you listen to the fans, you’ll end up sitting with them.” Which brings us to the Phoenix Suns. 11 games into a new season and we are beginning to appreciate once we what we once mocked, namely Matt Ishbia’s commitment and conviction to doing things his way to zigging when everyone else zags. for speaking new life and authenticity into a jaded stale basketball team. For choosing Jordan Aut instead of the more seasoned Johnny Bryant, aware that Aut would only heighten the Michigan State bias attached to the Suns. So far, the Suns owner is being handsomely rewarded because this team is doing everything he predicted. Jordan not is soaring in local popularity, delivering exactly the kind of immaculate vibes Ishppia was seeking. Now, can it be sustained when the rest of the NBA gets as serious and as engaged as the Suns are now? It’s a really good question that is impossible to answer at this point, but the Suns have our attention in a very good way. And 3 weeks into a new season, the very first box has been checked.

Dan Bickley says Mat Ishbia seemingly pushed all the right buttons during the offseason. Bickley asks how long the early-season success will last on his Bickley Blast.
