In the mid-2000s, the Phoenix Suns were doing something nobody had ever seen before.

They ran a high-tempo, small-ball offense so good that teams literally didn't know how to prepare for it. Steve Nash and Mike D'Antoni. Three division titles in a row. And yet, for all of that, they never won a ring. This is the story of how a franchise that had everything--a generational system, a Hall of Fame coach, a two-time MVP point guard--managed to talk themselves out of believing in it. From a trade that made everybody go "wait, what?" to a coach getting fired while Shaq was busy dancing with the Jabbawockeez, this is the Phoenix Suns: a team that caught lightning in a bottle and then couldn't stop poking holes in it.
