Dan Majerle Caught An Automatic Double At Tonight's Diamondbacks Game
In his 14-year NBA career, Phoenix Suns star Dan Majerle made his name with intensity and a freakish body.

Suns Fans Celebrate The Career Of Steve Nash With A Giant Drawing Of A Penis

The Suns Shut Down And Beat Up Blake Griffin
Blake Griffin was unstoppable in the first quarter, going 7-for-13 from the field. Phoenix regrouped, and turned the game into something more closely rembling Atari's Basketbrawl, and what do you know: it worked. Griffin didn't score another field goal the rest of the game....

Channing Frye Is The Latest Victim Of A Blake Griffin Monster Dunk

Blake Griffin Got A Technical On This Dunk And It Was Worth It
We haven't had too much of a Blake-reel on the site ever since he dunked over a car and hyped a football recruit, but here he is.

ASU Student Dunks Ball, Self
Nick Corrales is on the Suns' little trampoliney-dunkey team, but overshot his mark Wednesday night. I think that's touching it above the cylinder, so it doesn't count....

Last Night's Winner: The Stupid Zone Defense
