Despite a tough season, controversial trades and once again missing the playoffs, fans of the Phoenix Suns still arrive excited for game days.

“Every time I come here when there’s giveaways there’s more people,” Carlson said. “Bobble heads, shirts and stuff. I would probably try to do that more.”

Despite questioning certain player trades, Carlson expressed that the fan experience remained consistent, especially during special fan giveaways.

“It’s pretty exciting,” Chris Carlson said. “They have all sorts of fans screaming and it’s a positive atmosphere inside. It’s always great.”
