Is Mat Ishbia the real deal?
New Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia made it clear that his first priority is winning a championship and doing whatever it takes in order to make that happen. Ishbia has previously said, in part, “we’re focused on winning and not money. Money follows success.”
Sure, it is easy to think of the saying, “actions speak louder than words” when Suns fans first heard Ishbia make these comments. But if you look at every move he has made since taking charge, that is exactly what he has done.
Ishbia took no time after being approved as owner to acquire superstar Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets to pair with Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Deandre Ayton.
