Leandro Barbosa was a fan favorite during his first run with the Phoenix Suns. The ‘Brazilian Blur’ spent eight years of his career with the Suns and was a nice reserve scoring option on the run and gun Suns. For the last two seasons, he spent his career with the Golden State Warriors, won a championship and went to the NBA Finals twice. Often, Barbosa came up big for the Warriors when they needed it.
