Three Dot Thoughts…
Steve Nash says that if the Lakers release him this summer(likely)
that he will just retire from the NBA. This is not earth shattering news, but I believe that the Suns should do the right thing and sign Nash to a one day contract so that he can retire as a member of the organization that he is most known to have played for…
Can we please see the college basketball programs in our state close the borders?
Casey Benson(Corona Del Sol) and Dorian Pickens(Pinnacle) both played exceptional basketball in Saturdays Div. 1 title game. Neither one is staying in-state for college. Benson is heading to Oregon, Pickens to Stanford.

That facility is next to the soccer stadium named after him. He’s taken part in raising funds for thousands of shoes and mosquito nets for the men, women, and children over there. He will be fine…
