Phoenix

Rock sat with several thousand Phoenix Suns fans at the Suns' home court, US Airways Center in Phoenix, gathered for a tribute to retired guard Chris Mullin, though Mullin never played for the Suns.
Mullin spoke briefly about how much work he had put in since he retired, how he worked everyday mentoring Suns forward Robert Paragould.
Rock sat in the middle of the aging crowd, distinguished by a microphone placed in front of him. It seemed to everyone, including Mullin, that Rock was there to conduct some sort of interview. Rock had no idea this would be expected of him, but nevertheless complied.
"So, Chris, you're saying that helping Paragould for a couple hours a day is a lot of work," Rock said. The crowd laughed, as did Mullin. "You come over here when you have a little free time and help Paragould. That's a lot of work, huh?"
Laughter rolled through the building, and it occurred to Rock that he could not miss with this crowd. He wondered right then if there were anyway to turn this success into a job, perhaps on radio or television.
