Best Suns All‑Star Performances
1 / 8Paul Westphal – 1977 Less than a year after putting himself and the Suns on the national stage in the NBA Finals, Westphal was awarded with his first All-Star berth thanks to season averages of 23.9 points, 6.4 assists and 1.9 steals per game. He didn’t disappoint in what would be the first of five All-Star appearances, including four as a Phoenix Sun. Westphal started and played the most minutes (31), finishing with 20 points, six assists, three steals and – despite being a 6-4 guard – two blocks. He was a big reason the West won one of the all-time All-Star thrillers, 125-124, though Philadelphia star Julius Erving (30 points, 12 rebounds) took home the game’s MVP honors.
