For basketball fans of a certain age, the Phoenix Suns will always be associated with guard Paul Westphal, who left the Boston Celtics to become one of the team’s on-court leaders from 1975 to 1980 (he returned again as a player in 1983, and coached the team for four years in the 1990s). Over the years, players such as Charles Barkley, Dan Majerle, and Grant Hill have also shined bright for the Suns. The Suns rose in 1968, when the team was one of two new franchises to join the NBA. The Milwaukee Bucks also entered the league that year, and won a coin flip in 1969 with the last-place Suns that allowed the Bucks to pick Lew Alcindor in that year’s NBA draft. Thanks to Alcindor, who would eventually change his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Bucks would go on to win its first NBA Championship in 1971, while the Suns would have to wait until Westphal arrived in 1975 to get into the NBA Finals, only to lose to the Boston Celtics. For fans of the Phoenix Suns, vintage memorabilia includes basketball cards for such players as Kevin Johnson, Steve Nash, Alvan Adams, and Danny Ainge, who, like Westphal, also coached the team. Penny Hardaway and Amar’e Stoudemire are two other players who delivered for the Suns before leaving for the New York Knicks, in 2004 and 2010 respectively, while Devin Booker and Josh Jackson are among the players who represent the team’s future.
