56-year old Alvin Gentry did another solid job as the head coach of the Suns last year. With Amare Stoudemire off to the Knicks last season, it often seemed like Gentry was going into gun fights with butter knives, which makes it even more amazing that the Suns almost finished .500 (40-42) in 2010-11. Gentry has now been the Suns’ head coach for parts of three years in which he has compiled a 112-83 (57.4%) record during the regular season and he is 10-6 (62.5%) during the playoffs. Gentry now has a career record of 289-309 (48.3%) during the regular season and he is 12-9 (57.1%) during the playoffs. He looks for the right guy to get the Suns back on the right track.

37-year old point guard Steve Nash keeps rolling along for the Phoenix Suns. He played in 75 games (all starts) last season for the Suns and he averaged 33.3 minutes, 14.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 11.4 assists per game. Nash has now played in 1,090 games in his NBA career and he is averaging 31.3 minutes, 14.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 8.5 assists per game. He has been an amazing shooter from everywhere on the basketball court in his NBA career as he has shot 48.9% from the floor, 42.9% from three point range and 90.4% from the free throw line. Nash is now #5 in Suns’ history in games played with 682. He is also the all-time leader in three-pointers made (996), #2 in assists (6,333) and he is #7 (9,940) in Suns’ history.
