Mat Ishbia End of Season Interview | Phoenix Suns 

His positive attitude is the key.

He’s in denial

arizona sure has the market cornered on denial and delusion.

We got swept 1st rd, we're the awesomest!!!

Weird observation but the camera quality here is actually insane for a press conference.

A master of deflection. Just because the key ignition is turning doesn't mean the car will eventually start. Makes a good sounding noise and that's about it.

Don’t let this guy near coffee. “26 teams would trade their entire roster for ours.” Guess what? He’s totally nuts!

Hes a great guy.. #GOSUNS!

Mat Ishbia, I have watched your conference, and it has really inspired me, no excuses and you are so positive. I love the #Suns, #KD fan here in Uganda. Mat Ishbia please send me a ticket I come watch a sun home game in future. I know you won't read this, please the person in charge of this page, make a wish for me, show this comment to Ishbia or KD. Thank you.

Glad we got a great owner, similar to Colangelo.

Bro is a great owner bro brought a whole new energy to this squad

Thats my guy matt i love you keep the suns and lets get that chip next year

Awesome owner. He will bring a ring to this club and city. Hopefully the fans shape up so we can deserve it. Go Suns!

That’s a fucking winner ! I think we just need to stop hearing all the narratives around the team and actually just focus and support the team ! Regardless and we will win .

“Were gonna try to win every year” means say goodbye to any young player / draft pick over the next 10 years

Definition of insanity: doing same things everytime and expect a different result. Denver, OKC …. not going anywhere. Rebuild and be back on top in 5 years

“We’re doing great!” Fired the head coach 7 days later… Definitely some smoke coming from the roof.

I don't care what anyone says, this is a good time to be a Suns fan after the Sarver era.

I’m fired up, let’s go! Keep bol!

DEANDRE AYTON IS LAUGHING AT MATT ISBIA

I appreciate the positivity, but it's not negative to point out the blatant issues that occurred this season

Glad somebody asked about the PG but somebody should went straight to asking about the C. Our best C is Nurkic and he was straight ass in playoffs, literally unplayable. Sorry Matt but with Nurkic/Eubanks we are not winning anything.

We’re glad you want to win but hire real basketball executives and let them do their jobs and stop meddling. Just sign the checks and let them do their jobs.

He talks kinda like Saul Goodman - in all seriousness he is a good owner for Phoenix - you can tell he deeply cares

Yeah this is what the problem was. Now we getting a new coach we should win the title next year. Thanks owner for solving the problem

People always complaining smh , sheesh after one year people, some suns fans are stupid, we had a fresh new team & fresh new coach system, unbelievable, it takes time to build a championship

I like his answers

This is pure gold. Thank you for posting

Lesss gooo Suns!!! 💪🏻💪🏻☀️☀️😤😤

He made a horrible decision in bringing in Bradley Beal, who has a no trade clause. Suns are in a lot of trouble

💯💯🤙🏼🤙🏼

1st year together next year will be better team chemistry is key not enough time together

Signing a pg is one thing singing a pg and playing the pg is another. Get a pass 1st pg and see what happens.

“Don’t piss down my back and tell me it’s raining” -R Kelly Ok maybe it wasn’t R Kelly but it’s an apt phrase here. This dude is a hype man and the Suns need a strategic genius.

Damnnnnn mat ishiba from Phoenix ready to fire everybody the gm , coach, and players,, the house aint on fire but that logo ball is

I’m starting to think this dude is very delusional

“You ain’t going to like the phoenix suns” horrible

Phoenix suns matt ishbia should hire Phil handy for development team for Phoenix

Mat Ishbia did his part no hate towards him

24:40 facts

Dude says he’s gonna trade away all the picks 😂😂😂😂😂 And own the team for the next 50 YEARS!

24:54 😂 30 times your going to be crying at night kids (fans)

Going from the nba finals to now swept out in the 1st rnd because of bad deals isn't looking great

Im not a suns fan but this guy needs to be held accountable. He ruined a teams future in a matter of months because he wanted to bring in mid 30’s KD and beal (who is on the worst contract in the nba). This guy screwed your team for a decade probably. I feel bad.

Phoenix suns need to hire a good training coach I go with bill laimbeer for defense rajon rondo for guard andre Iguodala for defense

Beal is a bench player, and so is Allen... Suns need a point guard, and a young athletic small forward to help Booker, and Durant... And play Bol Bol inside; not hanging out outside the 3 point arc...

MONTY WILLIAMS IS LAUGHING AT MATT ISBIA

go suns

This guy is delusional!

The Suns cursed themselves way back when they traded Shawn Marion for Shaq.....they can't even buy a championship. Go Suns...

CHRIS PAUL IS LAUGHING AT MATT ISBIA

For the love of god start Bol at the 4 and KD at the 3 so they can both eat!!!

Love the way he set the record straight and addressed the false narratives 9f the bogus media

Get rid of a team built from the ground up and trade it all away for two injury prone players who aren't what they once were. Past their primes. Ishbia knows basketball but screwed up badly breaking the team up like he did and screwing the suns on draft picks. I believe the word cocky and thinking you can step in and make some moves to be seen as a hero in Phoenix is the proper term for him so far. Phoenix you better hope the basketball gods can help you with this guy and humble him fast.

Defense & rebounding

He traded all their picks and they literally can’t improve their team for another 4 to 5 years lmfao

He made moves gave us great players and we fell short. These so called fans are crying about Mikal, Cam, cp3 , Ayton who all didn’t even make the playoffs. Let that sink in. Phoenix fans just find ways to justify their personal misery.

13:22

I Couldn’t Watch Any Suns Games Besides The SWEEP Because Of BLACKOUTS!!!! And I Live In PHOENIX!! How/Why TF Do You Blackout Games?!?!

Pretty sick of hearing "we won 49 games". How about the fact that this team looked absolutely clueless all year. 100% obvious they quit on Vogel. I would be more impressed if Ishbia would just come out and say " damn. We have a lot of issues" instead of trying to blow sunshine up everyone's ass.

Lamelo Ball would be fantastic

Franchise cooked

*** Delusions of grandeur ***

Yeah, politicians can talk a good game too! 😂 Phoenix been all talk even before you got here! U need some dawgs. Not suck ups.

Sigh.... I appreciate his energy and optimism. But the fact remains, how are we gonna fix the roster? We have no draft picks for the next 6 years! I feel like the only way to do it is to trade KD because he's the only one with value we can trade.

Phoenix suns matt ishbia I think if you look at your team if frank Vogel did his job as a coach you wouldn't have to fired him they stop listening to frank Vogel they was dead last in offense and defense than frank Vogel wasn't building a unit he just played the talent he had and he didn't make good adjustment so you can bring him back but you will regret it if you looking at the last job and now he should be fired and you development coaches need improvement I haven't seen any players get better under yall development team defense or offense you can tell how bad Devin booker been playing and when they ask frank Vogel what was the problem he didn't no the answer so please find a better coach that no what he doing and the best development team

Go get us Zach Lavine and trade Bradley Beal and get a young athletic wing or start BOL BOL

God this guy just talks out his ass. He should read Phil Jackson’s book & think.

learn how to build a team over the mid to long term, not just throw in all the chips for 1 season.... thought you were an elite business man, what would happen to your business if you only planned year by year instead of looking at the long term

Delusional

26 g league or WNBA teams might want your roster…. Not NBA

This is by far the most delusional owner in all of basketball already out of cap space and has 3 players with a total salary of 150 mil just to get swept in the first round and can’t trade that bum Bradley Beal 😂 Trade KD and Nurkic for fucking depth and then maybe “run it back”

He is crazy...honestly he think he is in a excellent position to be champ next year ??? LOL The Suns was not able to win 1 game in playoffs... Durant is getting more older, Frank Vogel coaching was a desastor things, Bradley Beal was playing funny basketball. He need to react and be angry about what's happening for the suns! This is sad for the young star talent Devin Booker loosing in the way of the old guy without any competitivity Kevin Durant... The Phoenix Suns are over.

Fire Frank, or we will be just as bad next season

Should've kept Ayton

Dude needs to cut back on the caffeine….🤦‍♂️

talk is cheap... any way Ishbia can pay the NBA to stop hating on us? I'm not sure what we've done to make frenemies, but the refs love to F us good every game. We win when we play impeccable, otherwise wins are tough.. buttttttttt the league, which is fixed, hates us.
