Comments:It it wasn't for Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls, this arena would have celebrated a championship in its inaugural season in 1993. Over the years, the Phoenix Suns have had played some of the most entertaining basketball in the NBA, though their luck has yet to change as far as winning a title. last season point guard Steve Nash was named the 2005 MVP.
