PHOENIX — 'Here We Go!' is going international.
The Suns have fans all over the world. This week, 12Sports’ Cameron Cox speaks with the biggest Suns fan in Kenya.
Hussein Siro is a 21-year-old Suns super-fan living in Nairobi, Kenya. He’s better known by the Suns community on social media as @KenyanSuns_Fan1.
Siro started loving the Suns when his Mom randomly bought him an old school Suns t-shirt. He would work before and after school helping clean up a local Internet café just to use the internet to watch Suns videos on YouTube.
Siro’s dream was to rep a Suns jersey in Kenya and thanks to the X-account @SunsUniTracker and Suns fans, his dream came true.
