Phoenix Suns players are already bringing some serious fire to their training camp ahead of the 2026-27 season, and it is not just about drills and plays. These guys are showing loyalty runs deep, especially when it comes to their college allegiances.
The “No Way” Policy on Rival Shout-Outs
The Suns social media team tried to pull a fast one recently, asking players for shout-outs to their college basketball rivals. Talk about a prank gone wrong, or maybe, exactly right for content! The players were absolutely not having it. You think Koa Peat is going to give a shout-out to Arizona State? Nope. Devin Booker singing praises for Louisville? Forget about it. Their reactions were hilarious, showing that some lines just don’t get crossed, even when you are in the NBA.
“Ya’ll Playing With Me!”
One Suns player, who came up from Duke, basically summed up the whole vibe when asked to shout out the North Carolina Tar Heels. His response? A perfect, “Ya’ll playing with me!” That is the kind of passion that makes you remember these guys are fierce competitors, no matter if it is an opposing team on the court or a former college foe from way back. Ryan Dunn, Dillon Brooks, and Jalen Green were all at the practice facility on September 29, talking to media, with Head Coach Jordan Ott overseeing training camp as they gear up for the year. This kind of personality is what fans want to see.
It is clear that for these Suns players, college rivalries are forever. As they continue training camp in Phoenix, getting ready for the 2026-27 season, this little prank gives us a peek into the strong characters on the squad. You gotta respect that kind of loyalty.
