PrintUPDATE: We finally got out message across to J-Rich, lets all keep up the support and hope the Suns keep the momentum till the end! I really can't thank you guys enough for not only chipping in little by little for the donations, but for the support and help getting the word out. I can't take the credit, this was definitely a collective group effort! I applaud you all!
(Thanks Eutychus for posting this)
We made it happen Folks! This Thursday it'll be in the Arizona Republic. They should still be in Arizona then, so hopefully J-Rich will get a look at it. Either way! We ARE the best fans in the NBA, and I thank you for making this happen! We collected $577.66 towards the add, I'll cover any extra charges as well as trying to get some sent our way.
Any extra, I'll still donate to Red Cross!
THANKS GUYS!

Sick!
I was a bit down after I chipped in and saw that it might not happen, because I really think J-Rich would be humbled/very appreciative to see something like this. I’m VERY happy we made it possible, and shout out to esco for putting it all together! I hope he has a great game just as the added cherry on top

One thing we can do is spread the word that we've done this
Post it in other Forums, let people know watch out for it…get it some attention. The more people know the better the chance that JR see’s it.

Thanks man, never tweeted before
but i just sent him one to let him to check it out if he has a chance.
If it gets national media...
If it gets national media and the Suns go to the finals, I think we should go for another ad. Or another way to say thanks. It would be easier because more Warriors fans would know about it since it went on TV, and that we’d have tons of more Warriors fans to chip in.
Hopefully the media doesn’t think that GoldenStateofMind.com is some super rich corporation that just decided to easily pay for an ad. They have to know that it’s fans that chipped in little by little and put in hard work to get the ad out, not just a website. Cause there are some big websites with tons of money who can easily put out ads, the media has to know that it was regular people who made the J-Rich ad happen.
If we do it again we should make it say that it’s from all the Warriors fans, not just the Warriors fans on a certain forum. That way J-Rich knows he has the full support of all the Warriors fans instead of just a forum group.
But either way, this is a big accomplishment. How many fans of other teams would actually get together to do this? Warriors fans are the only fans I could think of that would do something so special like this. Best fans in the NBA, no doubt.

That is legit!
I hope he has some response to it
Just a thought for those running GSOM
Once he (J-Rich) sees this he will probably visit this site as will hundreds maybe thousands of other people. It would be cool if headlining the site was a link to the post that started this movement.
esco41510, can you go back and edit the FanPost so we can connect it with our Twitter/FB/etc accounts? That way we can get the word out easier. We can re-tweet it directly to J-Rich even.

Great job esco!
I was wondering if this was going to happen. I was worried all of us that donated would have to get some kind of refund. Good job pulling through!
Unfortunately,
the Suns will be in LA for Game 5 on Thursday. Hopefully they don’t travel to LA the night before, so JRich can see the paper. Fortunately, they’ll be back for Game 6 after tonight’s win.
Talking to the Guy @ the paper...
when teams travel it’s a 3 days gap on teams, he says he believes the Suns will be practicing there in Phoenix on Thursday since LA is only like a hour or so flight.
Suns will have a light
practice in Phx on Wed and leave for the airport at about 1230pm. Should be in LA by about 3pm

Hi, all. I am a Rockets fan who is hanging out at Bright Side of the Sun for the playoffs since the Suns are my second favorite team.
This is perhaps the classiest, coolest fan idea I have ever seen and I have been watching basketball for 40 years.
Kudos to all of you. I joined just to tell you how great you are. Maybe I will stop back in to hang out with such great folks.

How can we get a copy of this when it comes out? It would be a cool to have…
I've asked for a few to be sent to me..
Though I’m not quite sure how many I’ll get, but I’ll check to see how we can order these through the AZ republic also. I’ll keep you guys posted.
if you guys have twitter
he posts on there quite frequently, his name is jrich23, you can try to send him tweets or DM’s to check out the paper on thursday through there
By the way
whoever tells JRich about this ad that we all helped donate to buy, remind him that we did NOT forget about the ad he put up apologizing for the 2005-06 season.
Exactly, That's what this is all about...
It’s all a matter of showing him the love for the passion he had as a Warrior.
Only Warriors fans!
Only Warriors fans would do something like this and I love it! As a player this is what you want from your fans. I hope other players/ free agents in the NBA see this and want to come play for the Dubs. We show our players a lot of love and almost always have their back if they play hard for us. We are truely the best fans in the NBA hands down…

"I tell him straight, 'If you're going to lead, you have to be the first to practice. You have to come in, get your work down and be prepared for practice,' " assistant coach Keith Smart said.

He needs to mimic that if he wants his teammates to speak volumes about him." -Keith Smart on Motna Ellis
Man
I’m a Suns fan and think this one is great.
Let’s both hope J-Rich makes the Finals
Lakers have no chance against Suns and Warriors fans
What do you think about J-Rich being our Playoffs-MVP this far?
Unleash the Dragic!
Really, I think collectively the team has done well...
Having different players step up, and produce in needed situations. Big night from Frye last night, but the leader is still Nash. After the beatings he takes in the playoffs, seems like every year, the guy is as tough as nails. JR is just a very sweet piece to have on the any squad.
amare is MVP in my book
but J-Rich is MVP in my heart!
Don't get me wrong, this is awesome but....
The NBA is rigged. It’s getting pretty obvious that Stern wants to extend these series to make more loot. The Suns are playing their hearts out and I am definitely rooting for them, but come on…. If Orlando ends up beating the Celtics, it’s definitely rigged.
um, yeah right..
The NBA would benefit more from a Lakers – Celtics series.
Players play the game, not Stern. Some aspects of the game may be “pressured” to create certain outcomes – refs favoring some teams and players over others – but this is not the same as rigged.
Rigged means that no matter what happens, the outcomes is predetermined. That is not the case with the NBA
Agreed
The fanbase for the Celtics and Lakers is so much larger than for the Magic and Suns. I think Stern is shaking in his crocs right now. If this was some how rigged to extend the series, I think he may have shot himself in his foot by giving both squads a chance to take out the money making franchises.
if NBA was rigged
Then Cavs and Lakers are in the finals. Hopefully, neither of them are.
Yes, Stern ordered the Suns to start playing a zone defense that’s giving the Lakers offense fits.

Sign Jrich to an extension now. He doesn’t always have to score, but he brings it every night. He has the most intense rebounds of any SG in the league. Love our Jrich here in Phoenix.

J-Rich is awesome!
Has always been under appreciated.
Even as a dunker he doesn’t get the love – his dunks back in the day, both in games at the dunk contest were some of the best.
He never gets props for becoming a great 3 pt shooter – something he could not do at all when he came into the league.
He has gotten much better on defense as well. He is one of those guys who made the most of his god given talent – similar to Nash. J-Rich leaves his heart on the floor each night, win or lose, it breaks my heart he’s never been an all-star.

J-Rich is always a Warrior. I’d rather have his contract than Monta’s or Beidrin’s, not to mention his production these last three years. (Great job as usual Rowell and Mullin).
I so much hope this inspires J-rich and the Suns to new heights tonight. Here’s to J-rich scoring 30 and the Suns beating LA!
by San Francisco Slim on May 27, 2010 10:21 AM PDT reply actions 1 recs
Just my opinion...
i think you could disclude Mullin from wanting to trade Jrich.
Mullin was the face of the front office so he had to represent the Warriors within the public\sports media spotlight when this dumb transaction went through.
I really think he wanted to keep Jrich as part of the future and had to bite the bullet. He had to cover up for those who wanted to bring KG to the Dubz. (which absolutely FAILED)
I know he gets criticized tremendously (which he should) with some of the bad moves & decisions he made in the FO, but that’s part of the learning process. Just like life in general.
He did help bring us the 2007 Warriors Playoffs and I feel that just as he started to understand it all, they took away all his powers in decision making.
Basketball has been his whole life and I would have trusted him with the Warriors future if we kept him. He knew we were just one PF away from being a very good team and i think he had a plan to keep the We Believe Core (including Jrich) while only “adding” this PF we were desperately missing.

Not sure how I’m going to be able to divide them up however since i’m sure quite a few will want copies. And I’ll only be getting a limited #. And we can’t go by who donated first or asked first as some donated $5 some donated $100.
But I’ll see what we can come up with. Also, I’m looking into seeing how some one can order a copy of it.
