Dear Mr. Nelson,

Dear Mr. Nelson,

I’m writing this letter from my home in Pflugerville, Texas a mere 100 miles north of San Antonio and sitting just east of I35. I’ve been enjoying watching the Phoenix Suns play basketball since my first game back in 1976. A game that featured the Suns vs. the Celtics, game five I believe but more importantly since moving to Pflugerville, Texas some 18 years ago.

Now I’ve hardly written letters to a professional such as yourself so please give me a minute here, as I’d like to say a few kind things that I hope will put a smile on your face. You see, I believe that you hold the technical key to understanding body mechanics for what is in today’s high paced, NBA’s formula 1 basketball team named the Suns. I read an article about you back in 2008 and it basically states that you have the golden touch when it comes to healing players. I could not agree more.

Aside from Barkley to STAT you medical comprehension is unquestionable, Your approach of prevention, manual therapy and corrective exercise coupled with the futuristic approach in learning body mechanics for each and every player extends and improves their professional careers.

You see, I’ve watched the fruit of your work in progress while watching Suns games here in Texas and it never ceases to amaze me watching these professional athletes who have experienced injury, return and continue playing and more importantly continue playing the sport that they worked at for so long. And it not only limited for the injured.

You’ve manage to help players improve physically and extend the careers of many dare I say Shaq or should I more importantly mention Mr. Grant Hill. I bet it is safe to say that you enjoy being the Head Athletic Trainer for the Phoenix Suns and why not you’ve been with the team now for over 15 years.

It so great to see a professional such as yourself take such great pride in his profession and by the results I’ve seen and other around me have witnessed I felt it was about was about high time I send you a thank you letter expressing my gratitude for your services. Thank you Mr. Nelson for all that you have done for the Suns and the medical profession.

Best regards, Roger Moon

Wonderful...

What a wonderful piece…not too often do the unsung heroes get recognition for their efforts. I knew that Phoenix trainers were among the best, if not the best in the NBA. I mean, look what they were able to do with Shaq and Grant Hill. I didn’t know who was the professional behind the rehabilition of the athletes forementioned. I too, as a loyal and hopeful fan, am grateful that we have such a wonderful training staff, especially Mr. Nelson, and feel their gifted skills and experience absolutely does make a difference to the success of the team.

don't forget...

mcdyess, nash (whose back they’ve managed to help beat father time), and a slew of other players.

too bad mcdyess went on to slap us in the face after we got him healthy.
