The Phoenix Suns

Highlights & Fame


The Arrival Of The Suns

The Phoenix Suns story starts back in the 1980s they recently got boosted by trading Kevin Johnson and siging Tom Chambers through out 1987 to 1988, this lead to some good time straight playoff runs. They aimed high around 1992, and the same year they picked up Charles Barkley, which was a big deal, but despite him winning MVP they couldn't get a hold of the NBA title in 1993 which marked a rebrith. Rushing through time during the 2000s the Suns tried to patch up there defense as it was not the best, they tried to get Shaquille O'Neal in 2007 through 2008 but after that still struggled unfortunstely the defense eventually lead them to losing the the championship.

The Rebirth 2000-2024

The Phoenix Suns are doing great currently, they have won 13 games so far which is one of the best scores currently this season.
