🏀🦌On March 19, 1969 NBA Commissioner Walter Kennedy flipped a coin, the Phoenix Suns called 'heads' and it turned up 'tails'. Thus, the Milwaukee Bucks chose first in the NBA Draft held on April 7th. The Bucks would select Lew Alcindor (now Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) from UCLA while Phoenix picked Neal Walk from Florida. The Suns organization allowed the fans to choose what they’d call via a poll in the newspaper. Then Suns GM Jerry Colangelo told the LA Times the decision was made to make the fans feel closer to the team. Alcindor (pictured below with Bucks GM John Erickson) went on to win the Rookie of the Year Award after averaging 28.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game and was selected to both All-NBA Second Team and All-Star Game in his first season. The following season, the Bucks acquired former first overall pick Oscar Robertson from the Cincinnati Royals. They led the Bucks to a league-best 66 wins in the regular season. The Bucks then beat the Baltimore Bullets in the Finals to win their first NBA championship, in only their 3rd season. In that season, Alcindor also won the MVP Award and Finals MVP Award. The Alcindor coin flip wouldn’t be the only one for Phoenix that off-season. In the same summer, the SUNS had a coin flip with Seattle for the rights to ABA star Connie Hawkins. Fortunately for the Suns, the second flip was more favorable to Phoenix.🦌🏀 (Photo Credit: Hardwood History)

🏀🎂On March 4, 1966 Kevin Johnson was born in Sacramento, California. He attended Sacramento Charter High School, where he starred in both baseball and basketball. In his senior year at Sac High, Johnson led the state of California in scoring (32.5 ppg) and was named the Northern California Player of the Year. Johnson accepted a scholarship to play basketball for UC Berkeley. As a 4-year starter for the Golden Bears, Johnson ended his college career in 1987 as the school's all-time leader in assists, steals, and scoring. Johnson also played for California’s baseball team and the Oakland Athletics drafted him as a shortstop in the 23rd round of the 1986 MLB draft, but decided to focus on basketball. Following his senior season of college basketball, the Cleveland Cavaliers selected Johnson with the 7th pick in the 1987 NBA Draft. On February 28, 1988, Johnson was traded to the Phoenix Suns. In his first full season with Phoenix, Johnson grew into one of the NBA’s great players, averaging 20.4 points, 12.2 assists, a 50.5% field goal percentage, and an 88.2% free-throw percentage. His rapid improvement earned him the 1988–89 NBA's Most Improved Player Award. “KJ” received berths to the NBA All-Star Team in 1990, 1991, and 1994. Johnson made the playoffs every year of his career after his rookie season, reversing the fortunes of the perennially losing Suns. In Johnson's first 7 full seasons in Phoenix (1988–89 to 1994–95), the SUNS won the most regular season games in the NBA (394) and the second-most playoff games (46, trailing only the Chicago Bulls). In the summer of 1994, Johnson played with the U.S. national team, otherwise known as Dream Team II, in the 1994 FIBA World Championship, reuniting with old teammate and point guard rival Mark Price to win the gold medal. During his 12 year career Johnson averaged 17.9 points and 9.1 assists per game. In 1989, while still an NBA player, Johnson founded St. Hope Foundation, Inc (Helping Others Pursue Excellence) as an after-school program for kids in his native Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento, California. Johnson served as the 55th Mayor of Sacramento from 2008 to 2016. His number 11 has been retired by the California-Golden-Bears and his number 7 has been retired by the Phoenix Suns.🏀🎂 (Photo Credit: Vintage NBA)

🏀🎂On February 7, 1974 Steve Nash was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. His family moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, when he was 18 months old, before settling in Victoria, British Columbia Canada. Nash originally attended Mount Douglas Secondary School in Saanich, British Columbia, but after his grades began to drop, his parents decided to enroll him at St. Michaels University School, a private boarding school in Victoria. There, he starred in basketball, soccer, and rugby union. While playing basketball during his senior season, Nash averaged 21.3 points, 11.2 assists, and 9.1 rebounds per game. Although Nash’s high school coach, Ian Hyde-Lay, sent letters of inquiry and highlight reels on Nash’s behalf to over 30 American universities, Nash was not recruited by any university, until Santa Clara University coach Dick Davey requested video footage of the young guard. Nash was awarded a scholarship by Santa Clara for the 1992–93 season. At that time, it had been 5 years since the Broncos appeared in the NCAA tournament. That changed when Nash led Santa Clara to a WCC Tournament title and an upset win over the No. 2 seeded Arizona in the first round of the NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. He finished his career as Santa Clara’s all-time leader in career assists (510), free throw percentage (86.2%) and made and attempted 3-pointers (263–656). He remains 3rd on the school's all-time scoring list (1,689) and holds Santa Clara’s single-season free throw percentage record (89.4%). After graduating with a degree in sociology, Nash was selected 15th overall by the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the 1996 NBA Draft. During his first 2 seasons with the Suns, Nash played a supporting role behind NBA star point guards Kevin Johnson, Sam Cassell, and later, Jason Kidd. Following the 1998 NBA draft, Nash was traded from the Suns to the Dallas Mavericks. It was in Dallas that Nash established himself as a formidable point guard, beginning a decade as one of the game's top players. Nash would return to the SUNS in 2004. In the 2004–05 season, Nash led the Suns to the Western Conference Finals and was named the NBA MVP. He was named MVP again in the 2005–06 season and was runner-up for a 3rd consecutive MVP to Dirk Nowitzki in 2006–07. He finished his career playing for the Los Angeles Lakers (2012-2015). Nash was also an 8-time NBA All-Star. He was a member of the “50-40-90 Club” 4 times in his career. It requires a player to achieve the following minimum stats: 50% field goal percentage, 40% 3-point field goal percentage and 90% free throw percentage; to be achieved at the end of the regular season. His number 11 was retired by Santa Clara in 2006 and his number 13 was retired by the Suns.🎂🏀 (Photo Credit: The ‘96 Draft)

1968-69 NBA - Its Greatest Year

Very first SUNS WARM-UP: This movie "NBA 1969 - It's Greatest Year" is pretty cool because it has footage of the SUNS in their first year. It is crazy seeing empty court side seats at at the Coliseum. But check this out. If you go to 6:27, you will see Dick Van Arsdale & Gail Goodrich at the All-Star Game introductions wearing the Suns very first warm-ups. Purple pants with a white top. Any of you out there own one of these? If so, we have got to get some photos of that.

This is way cool! Met one of the nicest guys on the planet and a big Suns fan today at Guitar Center. Julian has an awesome vintage Fender base guitar that he had signed by Goran Dragic. I think Wayman Tisdale would want to jam on that.
