Stop Telling Phoenix Suns Fans How To Root

Are Phoenix Suns fans really supposed to hate Victor Wembanyama just because of the team’s history with the Spurs? That idea feels so antiquated. Tim Duncan, Bruce Brown, Robert Horry and Coach Popovich are long gone from being part of the team. 

With the Suns out, who cares who wins. In the NBA Finals, all fans should be rooting for exciting, competitive basketball because the result doesn’t matter anymore.

On this edition of Southwest Bias, Espo breaks down why he feels enjoying the Finals is better than holding onto old rivalries, and why Suns fans don’t need to care who wins if the Phoenix Suns don’t take home the championship.

If you’re a Phoenix Suns fan or just love NBA Finals action, this is a must-watch. We discuss:

• What it means to root for fun, high-level basketball
• Why Wemby shouldn’t be a “villain” because of the Spurs
• How old grudges are hurting basketball enjoyment
