PrintI wanted to take a look at some regular season Suns killers from each team. I'm sure some of you will disagree with my list and maybe some trolls will disagree with me for not including their favorite players. A troll's opinion is not welcome in this fan post. Now some of these haven't played a whole lot against the Suns but when they did, they scored a lot (or more than they usually do).
I demand you listen to this song while reading this post .
I'm listing the players based when where they are playing now. Not where they played in their prime.
Suns killers after the jump.
Paul Pierce: 25.9 pts/game highest Avg vs any team.
Shaquille O'neal: 25.3 pts/game his 4th highest Avg against any team. 11.4 rebounds third against any team

BONUS!!

Nice, some interesting stuff
Aside from the elite players like LeBron and Wade, practically everybody on that list is either a spot-up shooter/3-point specialist or a big who crashes the glass.
I didn't include
good players like Dirk or Tony Parker because their career avgs and vs Phx avgs are basically the same like Kobe. Manu shoots 41% against Phx. Tony Parker shoots something like 11 percent from three against phx

Earl Clark OWNS Orlando
Or he played a bunch of minutes in the two games where we got smoked in Orlando and then not at all last December when we beat Orlando in Phoenix. Potato potatoe
RIP Seasons of Discontent
That's the only playing time he gets
His other avgs against other teams are pathetic

Great post!
But you missed a few guys that should have been mentioned.
Ray Allen – especially when he was with Seattle. Dude couldn’t miss. Ever.
Horry – you know why. He didn’t just kill the Suns, either.
Bowen – God, how I hate him. He was a Nash killer for years.
There are more, and I get that you didn’t want to go there, but guys like Ginobli, Roger Mason, Okur – maybe they aren’t exclusively Suns killers, but they’ve killed the Suns repeatedly in the past.
Fun stuff, though.

Ray Allen had good numbers against the Suns but had better numbers against other teams. Which is way I didn’t include him.
Horry and Bowen are retired. If I look at retired players this list will never end. Also i don’t want to give them the satisfaction on being on my list.
Good call on Mason. I’m going to add him.

I'm not sure what years they were, but I remember several games when the Suns were really good and Seattle was really bad.
Ray Allen couldn’t miss. Ah hates him for that.

When we play the Timberwolves
A new Suns killer will be born, thy name is Love.

You forgot that we were the team that woke up Bosh and made him a factor in Miami.
Ugh…
I have returned, peoples. I think I suffer from a multiple personality disorder. I feel like a completely different person on this user vs EricSun89, RAWR.
Bkj & Larfleeze, this Earl Clark bandwagon has way too much room. We need more people!
23 and 10 avgs vs phoenix
I wasn’t going to include the heat which is why i left him out
