The Phoenix Suns announced on Monday that Amar’e Stoudemire and Shawn Marion would be the next two entrants into their Ring of Honor. In doing this, the organization also plans to retire both of the numbers worn by the players as well.
There is little doubt that these two individuals from the “seven seconds or less” era of Suns basketball deserve this award. This a storied franchise, and despite never winning a championship, both Marion and Stoudemire are top 12 players all-time for the organization. You could even make the case, as we have already, that Marion should be in the NBA’s Hall of Fame.
