#TBT: The assassination of Zarko Cabarkapa by the “thug” Danny Fortson

On November 26, 2003, the Phoenix Suns were in the process of whooping the Dallas Mavericks’ asses. It was a rare occurence as the 2003-2004 season would go down as the 5th worst (3rd at the time) season in Suns history. Mike D’antoni was still an assistant coach. It would be another 8 games before he replaced Frank Johnson as head coach. It would be another 20 games before Phoenix closed the door on the Stephon Marbury/Penny Hardaway era, sending both to New York (along with Cezary Trybanksi) for a pupu platter of veterans and draft picks.
