Meet Manuel Loera, one of our newest Bright Side of the Suns contributors.

I have been a Suns fan for as long as I can remember. I watched arguably one of the greatest games in NBA Finals history ever played, Game 5 of the 1976 Finals, Suns versus the mighty Boston Celtics in the Garden. Gar Heard’s “shot heard around the world” forced the third overtime of that game. While the shot itself was unbelievable, the events leading up to that are just as amazing. Take the time and watch the entire sequence.
