    Ok I'm going to try a new game here. I'm going to give the stats to a Suns player. He can be a past, or present player. He can be currently playing for another team as well. With the stats I will give his college and most memorable game as a player with the Suns. Coaches can be thrown into the mix as well, but instead of stats a description of their coaching style will be given. Whoever guesses correctly will have to give a new player for posters to guess. Also, the stats can be either playoff or regular season stats but what stats are being given must be specified. I'll start off easy with the first player:

    College: University of California at Berkeley
    Career Playoff Stats with the Suns: 19.3 PPG, 8.9 APG, 3.3 RPG, 1.25 SPG
    Best Playoff Game with the Suns: Scored 46 points in Game Seven of the Western Conference Playoffs in 1995.

    Other hints: Played an NBA record for a finals game with 62 minutes against the Bulls.

    Suns all-time playoff leader in points, assists, steals, and games played.

    Jason Kidd - Cal will actually be retiring his number on February 14th against Stanford.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">BERKELEY, Calif. - Jason Kidd, who had as much impact on the California men's basketball program as any player in school history, will have his No. 5 jersey retired in a ceremony before the Cal-Stanford game on Feb. 14, 2004 in Haas Pavilion. </div>

    A nice write up on his college career.

    Nope, it's not Jason Kidd.

    Edit: I have to go to a b-day party so if someone gets an answer right I probably can't say if it's right or wrong until I get back in a couple hours. Shape was pretty close, though.

    Good trick, then it has to be Kevin Johnson.

    Yep, second time is the charm it looks like [​IMG]

    Ok Shape. If you can (which I think you could), give another Suns player to guess. Now I really have to go. Good luck everyone.

    Can you give another hint because the hint you gave about him playing at University of Utah really threw me off. I was think thunder Dan, but Iam pretty sure he did go to Utah.

    Only person I can think of from the Suns that went to Utah is Tom Chambers.

    Chambers was my only guess...too late. Here's another: slightly different clues, only Suns die-hards will get it:

    College: Univ. of Washington
    Nickname: Buddha
    Number of NBA teams: 8
    Career Avgs. : 12.7ppg, 5.1reb.

    It has to be James "Buddha" Edwards. I remember his days in Los Angeles.

    Yes, it is the Buddha James Edwards. You guys are good. Did the nickname give it away?

    I'm guessing John Wallace. All offense, no defense basically. He was pretty inconsistent, like Joe Johnson is now. Sometimes he would provide a big boost for the Suns though when they needed it.
