NBA: All-Time starting 5 of the Phoenix Suns

Guard – Steve Nash

Steve Nash

Originally drafted by the Suns in 1996, Steve Nash played just two seasons in Phoenix initially due to Jason Kidd being at the point guard position at that time. Nash honed his game in Dallas before coming back to Phoenix as a free agent in 2005. He helped the Suns make the playoffs every year until 2010 before leaving for the Lakers in 2012.

Nash was a two-time NBA MVP in Phoenix and a six-time All-Star. He ranks sixth in points, third in games played, first in assists, tenth in steals and three-pointers made. Nash was inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor in 2015 and it is only a matter time before he gets called to Springfield.

Honorable Mention: Guard – Jason Kidd

Despite spending just four and a half seasons with the Suns, Jason Kidd established himself as the best point guard of his generation while in Phoenix. Kidd helped the Suns make the playoffs five times. He was also a four-time All-Star as a member of the Suns. He ranks fifth in assists and eighth in steals in the Suns’ all-time leaderboard.
