It's pretty safe to say that the Phoenix Suns have never been much of a successful franchise. If anything, they've been one of the bottom feeders of the NBA, missing the playoffs more often than not.
The Suns have had some historically great players in their ranks such as Charles Barkley and Steve Nash. Nonetheless, that hasn't translated into much success, as they have yet to win their first ring.
That's why it was so cool to see them get back to basketball's ultimate stage: the NBA Finals. This team has been through a lot over the past couple of decades and the fans were due for this. So, without further ado, let's walk you through the history of this ever-struggling franchise at this stage.
