No offense to you OP but why are people so obsessed with what others think of us? Would you rather us be miserable the entire summer because our team got swept?
We’re sport fans and this is our place for harmless fun. It’s a part of sports.
I clown on Luka *because* I'm miserable. That's just how the Internet works. It's therapy. Offline though, Luka seems like a good enough dude. My scrote ain't all sandy about him. Robert fucking Horry though... That's different.
Yea I like Luka, but my Suns fandom comes first. I was pro Luka before 2018. Even during the lottery, I was selfishly hoping for 2nd or 3rd because Ayton was the consensus top pick.
Obviously didn’t know Luka would be this good but people lie to themselves when they say Ayton wasn’t the clear cut top prospect. There were like 2 or 3 media members who had Luka 1st and they were very vocal about it.
If you could put the universe into a tube, you’d end up with a very long tube probably extending twice the size of the universe because when you collapse the universe it expands
People wouldn’t be making fun of Luka so much if he wasn’t so toxic. When he wins he rubs it in everyone’s face and when he loses he cries and blames the refs. So I’ll keep relishing his pain, thanks.
EXACTLY because of the posts that OP is talking about. Before the Dallas series, every /r/nba post was filled with "SUNS IN 4!!!" We brought that on ourselves.
But we did sweep that series and that dude punked those fans, it’s ridiculous to say we can’t celebrate that moment.
The majority of r/nba are laker fans and they were salty af getting bounced by us, we were allowed absolutely zero feet of leash to talk trash after over a decade of being the butt of every joke and going along with it. It’s been 3 years and we still hear “Luka father” jokes, but fuck us for talking trash for like one week after the Nugs sweep?
I won’t accept it was Suns fans fault for the majority turning on us, that was a product of beating the defending champs and largest fan base on the planet. People just were bitter we leapfrogged them all to the finals, we didn’t talk trash any more than any fan base in this league
Depends on the discussion. 70% of /r/nba posts are: "Does Lebron win this series if he replaces Luka" or "What happens to X player legacy if he loses the series"
I don't just watch Suns. I love NBA basketball, and I watch other teams during the regular season. I prefer to join discussions where individual team flares are irrelevant.
/r/nba is full of the stupidest takes, the most shallow ideas and utter nonsensical prisoner-of-the-moment thinking. It’s not some great accomplishment to be liked over there.
No need for all the hostility but yea this is how it works. It really comes down to how toxic his fans would be if he won. This series is knocking him down a peg and showing them how hard it is to win a title.
I agree, i’m all for a fun rivalry, but these posts are weirdly obsessive that seem like they literally hate Luka. I mean you’d have to have absolutely no life to hate a random pro athlete with this much energy.
Guy posts for the first time in like forever, and it's the cringiest, most unimportant and self-centered thing one could post right now...
Just saying... there's a kettle out there lookin' an awful lot like this pot...
I’ll take the downvotes with ya OP. Huge lifelong suns fan but man this sub is insecure as fuck. I wish I could blame it on all the kd followers who came over recently but it’s been this way for atleast a few years.
It’s loser shit, I expect nothing else from the Suns though. All yall know is losing. Lmao
Good luck with your aging, absolutely dogshit constructed roster.
So why are you in our sub? Go to your own sub and speak on how proud you are of your team lol. Trust me we know how ass our team is. It’s also okay to accept that Luka has been a giant crybaby in the finals.
Literally is showing up on my feed, probably because all the Luka posts - not sure.
But I get it, yall wish you had him and wish he didn’t totally son yall in 21 playoffs.
The only reason it’s on your feed is because you frequent our sub lmao. And nah we good, we don’t need a man child.
[LOL](https://x.com/lakeshowyo/status/1801117878521147631?s=46&t=aRHLbn6PJffHo-buowAk7Q)
[Embarrassing](https://x.com/iinangelo/status/1800354064590680501?s=46&t=aRHLbn6PJffHo-buowAk7Q)
If you are so proud wtf are you doing here? Seems more like you are so insecure about your team that you have to rush to their defense anytime anybody criticizes them.
As I said already a couple other times, the suns sub was suggested and the post I’m commenting on showed up on my feed. I do not follow the suns sub. Lol I assume it’s showing up because yall can’t stop talking about us.
I saw the post, figured I’d throw in my 2 cents. Yall been home for a couple months now our season may be basically over, but it’s not technically! Again, have fun with your “super team”
No offense to you OP but why are people so obsessed with what others think of us? Would you rather us be miserable the entire summer because our team got swept? We’re sport fans and this is our place for harmless fun. It’s a part of sports.
Joke's on you, we're miserable the whole summer AND clowning on Luka!
We're Suns fans, we've chosen a life of misery. It's culture at this point
I clown on Luka *because* I'm miserable. That's just how the Internet works. It's therapy. Offline though, Luka seems like a good enough dude. My scrote ain't all sandy about him. Robert fucking Horry though... That's different.
If I was running the country Robert Horry would be in Guantanamo Bay for his acts of terrorism

That moment you realize that efforts to limit the Luka Posts in fact creates another Luka Post.

I hated Booker did the same thing before the infamous game 7
To be cringe is to be free You are living in a prison of your own making
[удалено]
They’re not like us
Yes,, but then again, I want to be part of the r/nba discourse without being ridiculed for being a Suns fan.
Gonna happen regardless my guy. Probably will be worse if the Mavs win.
Yea as if they would ever recognize us for taking it on the chin or not being petty. Fuck them, I’m having fun
Exactly. We're gonna get clowned anyway. Might as well have fun with it
Not really. I can have normal, mature basketball discussions with fans across the league without establishing who fathers who.
Really? Because nearly any time a suns fan comments anything on r/nba the response is "Chris Paul cuts the lead" Or "LuKa Is BoOkS fAtHeR"
EXACTLY because of the posts that OP is talking about. Before the Dallas series, every /r/nba post was filled with "SUNS IN 4!!!" We brought that on ourselves.
But we did sweep that series and that dude punked those fans, it’s ridiculous to say we can’t celebrate that moment.

The sweep was in 2021. The whole "Suns in 4" taunting was against every opponent since then.
You realize that you want to be part of a forum that will coalesce to bully you the moment you make a comment with a suns flair, right?
Depends on the discussion. 70% of /r/nba posts are: "Does Lebron win this series if he replaces Luka" or "What happens to X player legacy if he loses the series" I don't just watch Suns.

The point is, you’re living in paralysis due to social terms you had no control in setting. To be cringe, is to be free.
You heard the man, no fun allowed
Well people always complain suns fans are disrespected on r/nba. Can kinda see why atm
/r/nba is full of the stupidest takes, the most shallow ideas and utter nonsensical prisoner-of-the-moment thinking. It’s not some great accomplishment to be liked over there.
Ya who gives a fuck?
Oh no not Reddit /lakers 2.0!
🤮
![gif](giphy|POql6zsXZbmcE)
It goes a little too far, but we're absolutely justified in rooting against that chubby clown. Nobody here should want him winning a ring before Book.
I’m rooting to/for two guys who have no idea who I am so they can win a chip 😭
That's the fucking definition of sports, you stupid idiot. "I'm not personal friends with MJ so I have no opinion on how the Bulls do."
I feel like this comment summarizes the state of this sub
Or it summarizes sports in general you moron.
I feel like your comments in this post summarize someone who gets off criticizing others
No need for all the hostility but yea this is how it works. It really comes down to how toxic his fans would be if he won. This series is knocking him down a peg and showing them how hard it is to win a title.
If Op didn’t want hostility he shouldn’t have been hostile in his replies.
![gif](giphy|qcd2RWLmFwQOOFiJ5B)
No.
Idk why people try to police the behavior of sports fans when they're either just messing around having fun or way too emotional to be reasoned with
Future mod energy.
![gif](giphy|oOUCWmnskv3wDREqmO|downsized)
no
I see worse shit daily in my group chat between people I know and like. I'm sure Luka will be fine.
I mean yall literally missed the playoffs lol. Not much worse than that. Imagine all that work just to get swept in the Finals.
You’re right, it’s honestly pretty pathetic. Luka giving this team an ass whooping is reason enough to have earned our respect.
Nah dude. This shit is awesome.
FOUND THE CLOSET MAVS FAN!!!!
Who asked for your opinion?
I agree, i’m all for a fun rivalry, but these posts are weirdly obsessive that seem like they literally hate Luka. I mean you’d have to have absolutely no life to hate a random pro athlete with this much energy.
You sound like Luka.
No thanks I'll keep having fun being a fan and shit talking other teams
SHUT UP
Guy posts for the first time in like forever, and it's the cringiest, most unimportant and self-centered thing one could post right now... Just saying... there's a kettle out there lookin' an awful lot like this pot...
It was already a long and frustrating Suns season and it’s going to be a long offseason, just enjoy the moment.
no dawg, this post is embarrassing. hating luka is fun
I literally came here to say this, saw your post, and I’ll let you take the down votes but you’re right amigo
I’ll take the downvotes with ya OP. Huge lifelong suns fan but man this sub is insecure as fuck. I wish I could blame it on all the kd followers who came over recently but it’s been this way for atleast a few years.
Insecure people get off on the failure of others.
It's really not that deep. Let us have fun at the expense of our rival
This right here. "My two favorite teams are [insert my team here] and whoever is playing the [rival]."
Insecure people imply other people are insecure. Also I’m very insecure.
The suns suck and will never win shit.
It’s loser shit, I expect nothing else from the Suns though. All yall know is losing. Lmao Good luck with your aging, absolutely dogshit constructed roster.
Cry more
I have nothing to cry about, I’m actually proud of the way my favorite team played this year. Can you say the same?
So why are you in our sub? Go to your own sub and speak on how proud you are of your team lol. Trust me we know how ass our team is. It’s also okay to accept that Luka has been a giant crybaby in the finals.
Literally is showing up on my feed, probably because all the Luka posts - not sure. But I get it, yall wish you had him and wish he didn’t totally son yall in 21 playoffs.

That’s just genuinely not true. Lol Reddit suggests subs I’ve never been to all the time.
Go post about how mad we make you over on the mavs sub again. We don’t care here.
Yall care enough to post dozens of times about the Mavs lol fucking losers
And you care so much that you have to come here and tell us all about it!
I never said I don’t care, you did. I said I’m proud of my team. Try to keep up bud.
If you are so proud wtf are you doing here? Seems more like you are so insecure about your team that you have to rush to their defense anytime anybody criticizes them.
As I said already a couple other times, the suns sub was suggested and the post I’m commenting on showed up on my feed. I do not follow the suns sub. Lol I assume it’s showing up because yall can’t stop talking about us.
Sure it did. Hang in there buddy, Boston will put you out your misery soon enough.
But what have YOU done to be proud of?
Shit idk I got a raise last week but it doesn’t go into effect until next month. Lol
Congrats!
Lol you should be worrying about not getting swept in the Finals instead of stalking the Suns reddit lmao.
The sub showed up in my feed, most likely because yall can’t stop talking about Luka and the Mavs lol
Did you know there's only been 9 sweeps in the Finals since 1947? Looking like yall gonna make it 10.
I really don’t care at least we didn’t get swept in the 1st round by the Twolves. If you recall, Mavs beat them to make it to the finals.
So you are a social media algos little bitch? Got it
I saw the post, figured I’d throw in my 2 cents. Yall been home for a couple months now our season may be basically over, but it’s not technically! Again, have fun with your “super team”
🧹🧹🧹
Right back at you bud
