The Suns have two NBA Finals appearances (1976 and 1993) without winning a title, so this squad is hungry to taste the cinnamon and nutmeggy flavor of the Larry O’Brien Trophy. The Alvin Gentry–led team hopes to build on the Nash-Stoudemire-Hill-Richardson foundation to contend in the highly competitive West. Catch the Suns in action—perfect for sports fanatics, families, or people who only own purple and orange clothing.
Reviews
Yelpers give the team a whopping 4.5 stars:
> * For the past few season [sic] that we’ve had Steve Nash, you can’t buy a better brand of basketball. Sure no championships have been hung, but from an entertainment stand point we’re at the top. – Nick H.
> * As a Phoenix native and lifetime Suns fan, yeah, I’m probably a bit biased, but all I’m saying is that the Suns represent everything that is great about the sport of basketball. – Jake C.
> * Even if you’re not a Suns fan (which I most certainly am), these guys are just fun to watch! – Bunny J.
Innovations in Basketball
Basketball has gone through numerous innovations since James Naismith first nailed a peach basket to a galloping horse and invented basketball. Here are some of the key changes that make the game what it is:
- 1924: The 30-minute shot clock is introduced, guaranteeing at least one shot per game.
- 1976: The Denver Nuggets begin using a ball that causes fearsome premonitions in whoever is holding it.
- 1998: The NBA expands by two teams composed entirely of baby kittens.
- 2002: Losing at basketball is outlawed in Los Angeles, simultaneously causing the Lakers to win the NBA championship and the Clippers to be incarcerated in a floating sky-jail for 10 years.
