Of course it was not necessary.

What's with your question?

I guess Phoenix is the only city that can have a victory celebration without it tuning into a riot.

You would guess wrong.

Is there some bitterness that you are trying to express?

What is up with that?

While Detroit had riots after Pistons title wins in the past, there was nothing like that for the Red Wings Stanley Cup victory last year.

Not the same scale as some places but:

Two people were arrested in 2001 after a 500-plus crowd vandalized signs and set small fires following the Arizona Diamondbacks' victory in the World Series.
I'm not trying to prove a point one way or the other but I think that was the only Phoenix title in pro sports, wasn't it? I guess Arizona State has won titles.

I was in Oakland after a Pitt-Penn St nite game(Pitt spanked em).A Massive crowd gathered on the main drag around 3 am.A caravan of police wagons approached 4 wide with cops on foot and on horses.I was sittin on a wall eting some grub.A cop approached my group, and said:

cop:go home.
guy in group:I have a right to be...
cop:Get in the paddy wagon.

I left.

stupid people always know their rights.

the end
I dont torture mallards all the time, but when I do, I prefer waterboarding.

OK. I didn't know if anything had happened and only found the story while looking for the previous Phoenix championship.

Only the Dbacks closest was U of A (Tucson) winning NCAA Basketball 1997 runner up in 2001 and in final four 1988, 1994

Suns losing to Bulls in 1993 and Celtics in 1976
