Suns Acquire Shaq

Let's face it. Phoenix isn't really known for being a consistent league championship city for professional sports. I'm not counting NL championships or Division championships or Conference championships. I'm talking about Super Bowl Championship, World Series Champions, League Championship - the best in their sport championship!

Shall we go down the list?

Phoenix Suns: none

Arizona Cardinals: 2 (1925, 1947)

Phoenix Mercury: 1 (2007)

Phoenix Coyotes: none

Arizona Diamondbacks: 1 (2001)

Okay, I'll bite my tounge. Out of my list of Phoenix acknowledged professional sports, 3 out of 5 teams have not won a championship in the last decade (or ever for that matter).

I am a huge Phoenix Suns fan. In fact, I'm typing this blog as the Suns move to a 3rd OT....

Okay, in the minute passed trying to type, Stojakovic (Hornets) just sank the last basket preventing a 3rd OT. Unbelievable.

Here lies a point, bringing in Shaquille O'Neal is a positive to the Phoenix Suns team. Here is why:

• Phoenix Suns - Run' & Gun: According to the Suns, they are going to work Shaq's 325-pound self to run with the big boys.
• Shaq's Jumpshot: Inside the paint, there's less pressure on Amarie. Guess what, Shaq can shoot too.
• He's Shaq: With the Suns' previous lineup, opponents weren't ever afraid to step into the paint. Shaq will defintely bring that inside presencse.
• Suns Chemistry: There are players on the team who were "unhappy" (Marion). There are players in the NBA who want to play with Steve Nash. I believe that there is great chemistry.
• Championship Rings: Shaq has them.
  

I say Steve Kerr made a great move and I can't wait to see Phoenix acquire another Championship team! Go Suns!
