The players who defined Phoenix Suns basketball. Icons who shaped the franchise and left a legacy that endures.
Numbers hanging in the rafters at Footprint Center. The players who gave everything to Phoenix Suns.
The Phoenix Suns, founded in 1968, have been one of the NBA's most consistently competitive franchises despite never winning a championship. The 1976 Finals against the Celtics produced one of the greatest games ever played — a triple-overtime Game 5. Charles Barkley's MVP season in 1993 led to a Finals appearance against the Bulls. Steve Nash's "Seven Seconds or Less" Suns (2004-2010) under coach Mike D'Antoni revolutionized offensive basketball with a pace-and-space style that became the template for the modern NBA. The 2021 team reached the Finals with Chris Paul, Devin Booker, and Deandre Ayton. The acquisitions of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal have assembled one of the most talented rosters in franchise history, continuing the pursuit of that elusive first championship.
Tom Chambers was the first unrestricted free agent to change teams — and he chose Phoenix. Here's why the Suns retired his #24 jersey in 2021.
