Back in 1993, I became a fan of the Phoenix Suns. I followed them through the regular season and into the playoffs, rooting for them to their eventual loss to the Chicago Bulls.

Simple: I was a fan of Charles Barkley and wanted to see him win a championship. When he left the Suns, my fandom waned.
