Bill Simmons Praises Suns, Backcourt Duo
Bill Simmons knows a lot about basketball.
Like, a lot.
And by “a lot” I mean he wrote a book about basketball that is over 700 pages long.
Formerly of ESPN and now with HBO, Simmons went out of his way to profess his admiration for the Suns and the way they play.
“I watch Phoenix. They’re built around those two guards. They have guys with attitude; they’re tough. You’re not gonna go into Phoenix and shove them around. I think they’re a Playoff team.”
This isn’t the first time he’s singled out Phoenix for their impressive play. In January of this year, Simmons wrote a column about how difficult the Western Conference is and how much he wanted to see the Suns make the Playoffs.
