Colangelo Inducted Into the Suns’ Ring of Honor

In the EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE, Scott Bordow writes, "Jerry Colangelo was riding up an escalator of a local hotel. Coming down were more than a dozen of the retired players. Some were in their late 30s. Others were in their 60s. They were a walking, talking encyclopedia of Colangelo’s 40 years in the NBA. 'My entire career went by me,' Colangelo said. That career will be celebrated tonight when Colangelo is inducted into the Suns’ Ring of Honor at halftime of the Suns-Cleveland Cavaliers game. Colangelo’s family will be in attendance. So will all 10 living members of the Ring of Honor. (Cotton Fitzsimmons will be represented by his wife, JoAnn). They will pay their respects to a man who built the Suns franchise from the ground up and then used that platform to become a civic leader and key player in the redevelopment of downtown Phoenix."
