Phoenix Suns

The Phoenix Suns have long been known for fast, entertaining basketball and a string of star-studded rosters that have come tantalizingly close to a title without ever closing the deal. From Charles Barkley to Steve Nash's "Seven Seconds or Less" offense to the modern Devin Booker-led core, the Suns have built a reputation as one of the league's most exciting watch every era.

Founded as an expansion franchise in 1968, the Suns reached the NBA Finals in 1976 behind a young roster before falling to the Boston Celtics. Charles Barkley led the franchise to another Finals appearance in 1993, and Steve Nash's back-to-back MVP seasons in the mid-2000s produced the high-octane "Seven Seconds or Less" style that reshaped how fans thought about pace and spacing. Devin Booker later led Phoenix back to the Finals in 2021. Despite multiple Finals trips, the Suns remain one of the few original-era franchises to have never won an NBA championship.
