Leandro Barbosa gets burned for premature celebration, thanks to Jared Dudley

Before returning to the Phoenix Suns this summer in free agency, Leandro Barbosa spent the last two seasons with the Golden State Warriors. You want to know how I know that? Well, I watched the Warriors for the last two years, because it is kind of my job. (Duh.) Beyond that, though, I know it because of the irrepressible and unmistakeable whiff of #ArrogantSZN vibes cascading off of him during this play in the fourth quarter of Phoenix’s Thursday night meeting with the Charlotte Hornets — a play that definitely didn’t end the way the Brazilian Blur thought it would:

With the Suns holding a 13-point lead and just under five minutes remaining in regulation, the veteran guard broke up a post-entry pass, then tracked down the loose ball to start a fast break.
