Magic Johnson's AIDS made a surprise return to the NBA yesterday, terrifying NBA officials into benching Steve Nash until he could stop shooting blood out of his nose. Most watchers agreed that if Nash had been in the game, he could have beaten the Spurs walking on his hands.
In other news, these Phoenix Suns HAVE NEVER EVEN MADE IT TO THE NBA FINALS, and these Spurs HAVE WON THREE CHAMPIONSHIPS IN THE LAST 8 YEARS. Despite this, I have to argue with people that the Suns novelty gorilla motorcycle riding team isn't going to win a championship EVERY YEAR. I agree that Tony Parker didn't do a lot for America's image of France when he went fetal on the floor and Nash looked unfazed, despite the fact that Nash was the one who was actually hurt. I would like to point out, however, that Nash was attempting to make a terrible defensive play, reaching for a steal that wasn't there, instead of moving his feet laterally like you're taught to do when you start playing basketball in middle school. I think the Suns are really good for the league and are really fun to watch, but unless David Stern spends the rest of the playoffs holding on to Tim Duncan's leg Jeff Van Gundy style, the boring old Pistons and Spurs are going to the finals again.

i didn't watch this game, but im glad to see that AIDS came out on top.
The Suns have been to the NBA Finals twice, as your link clearly points out. Once in 1976 when they lost to the Celtics and once in 1993 when they lost to the Bulls. Still, no rings, which hurts my soul and probably makes the baby Jesus cry.
Thanks for pointing that out Mike, but I'm not talking about the Barkley era Suns or the Van Arsdale twins/Connie Hawkins era Suns, which is why I said 'these Suns'. Obviously, none of those players or coaches remain. Next time I'll be more clear, when I'm not writing a blog THAT'S A FUCKING JOKE.
