Thunder Dan

As Margaret will probably tell you, I am a Suns fan. I love when the games are on Fox sports because that means my man Dan Majerle is calling the game. I grew up watching Dan Majerle on those nineties Suns teams that went to the Finals in '93. Don't let the shorts fool you, he's the best color commentator on TV. Some gems from tonight's game against the Rockets:

(about Shane Battier) Well, Battier went to Duke so he's got that huge cranium to get in the way of your shot.

(about 41 year old Dikembe Mutumbo)
70-year old Gary Bender: Mutumbo didn't play against the Warriors last night because of their run and gun style
Dan Majerle: He's older than you Gary, so that definitely would have been an advantage for the Warriors.

(after a (frenchman) Boris Diaw play) Vous les Vous avec moi ah ha ha!

Gary Bender: Steve Nash looks like he's playing a little hurt.
(long Nash 3) DM: What did you stay in a Holiday Inn last night? He looks fine to me.

And his signature "Don't forget the coffee!" which fans of Good Will Hunting will recognize.

The words don't give it justice. Next time you get a chance to watch a Suns game, try to enjoy the unique stylings of Thunder Dan.
