He got 14 points 5 rebounds and 7 assists in only like 20 minutes. Our bench is underrated, we have 4 really good bench players! Check out the thread Arizona Pride
A year ago, I thought Barbosa would be a bust. He looked lost on the court, and didn't understand how to play point guard. He showed a lot of athleticism, but he was erractic on the court, and struggled on both sides of the ball. A year later, with a chance to watch and learn from Steve Nash, Barbosa is putting his game together. He's obviously worked very hard at his game, he's extended his shooting range, and he's become a playmaker on the court. The Suns will definitely need him in the playoffs. They stand to face the Grizzlies combo of J-Will/Watson and the 4 guard attack of the Mavs in round 2. Being able to rest Nash in the post-season will be a must for the Suns to get far.
Yeah. It always helps to learn to be a good point guard from Steve Nash as opposed to Stephon Marbury.
Why don't they bring KJ to teach them all...It would be fun!Although NAsh is just a Batman now for the Suns and Barbosa is learning to be Robin...
That's a great idea, though I don't think KJ would do it. But KJ would be a great ass. coach or some sort of helper on practices. I miss KJ's playing days. Him and Sir Charles made me a Suns fan.

KJ was one of the most complete PGs off all-time IMO, but like Shawn Marion now, never looked for the attention. If he was like that, he would be a GM or a coach right now, but he played the game because he liked to play the game, not for the money or the fame. KJ had great court vision, (12.3 APG in '88), was an excellent shooter, killer crossover, lightning fast first step, and before his knee injuries, had the hops to dunk on anybody in the NBA, past, present or future. Underrated during his career, and now underrated as one of the greats.
