Phoenix Suns big man Frank Kaminsky attended his post-game Zoom call rocking his teammate Deandre Ayton’s lavish iced out chain. The 27-year old revealed he asked the 2018 no. 1 overall pick if he could borrow the extravagant piece of jewelry before hopping on the virtual press conference. Kaminsky admitted he’s never put on something that expensive in his life before.
Listen to the hilarious exchange between Frank the Tank and the rest of the Suns reporters, via Duane Rankin of AZ Central:
Q: Are you wearing DA's chain right now? @Cody_Cunningham.
Laughter ensued.
A: I was waiting for somebody to ask." @FSKPart3.

I mean, what are friends for, right? The custom-made chain reportedly cost Ayton $100,000. With that price tag, the former Arizona star must have a ton of confidence in Kaminsky to take care of his beloved ornament. Hopefully, the chain made it back to Ayton sparkling clean as Kaminsky promised during the Suns press conference.
Nonetheless, Ayton probably thought the former Wisconsin standout deserved to look good as he faced the media. Kaminsky contributed well off the bench to help Phoenix take care of the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. In just 13 minutes, Kaminsky tallied 15 points and made 7-of-13 from the field in the 106-97 victory over the Bulls. Meanwhile, Ayton notched 22 points and seven rebounds in the 9-point win.
Ayton, Kaminsky, and the Suns certainly have a lot to smile about, especially with the way their season has been going so far. They currently hold the no. 4 spot in the Western Conference standings with a 21-11 mark. Led by All-Stars Devin Booker and Chris Paul, the Suns look poised to finally end their 10-year playoff drought.
