... but not in Suns uniform.
If you are bored to death and suffering from a basketball withdraw on this long OFF-season, there will be a (very) early charity game this Sunday (August 9th) between Leadrinho's friends (including Shawn Marion) and Varejão's friends. Most of the money will be reverted to Hope Unlimited, an organization that provides care for Brazilian youth.

Local time: 10:50
Phoenix time: 6:50
Ginásio do Maracanãzinho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Here are a few names on both squads:
Anderson Varejão, Keith Bogans, Tiago Splitter, Danny Granger, Drew Gooden and other less-known brazilian players.
Head Coach: Mike Brown (Cleveland)
Leandro Barbosa, Shawn Marion, Alex Garcia, Marcelo Huertas, Coby Karl, JP Batista, Amir Johnson and others.
Head Coach: Moncho Monsalve (Brazil NT)
Today the Brazilian national team just won the Super-Four mini-tournament , defeating a very young Australian team 95-67, with 15 pts in just 20 minutes by Leandro Barbosa. Varejao defended well a very frustated Nathan Jawaii. Yesterday Brazil defeated Uruguay 100-63, with 19 pts from Varejão and 18 by Barbosa.

Wow it's good to know I'm not the only one that's disliked here.
Thanks for the info man.
"Fun fact: Larry Hughes, who couldn’t stay healthy if all his human parts were replaced with bionic implants, is out for the next four weeks with a bruised leg. Do you think that Willis Reed ever reads about all these players missing time with bruises and sprained fingers and throws up in his mouth a little?"

haha I have no idea about the disliking nonsense.
It was pretty cool watching they hang out, laughing it up, trying to create highlights at a very relaxed game.
