On this joyous day, we celebrate a significant milestone from 58 years ago when the Phoenix Suns and the Milwaukee Bucks were granted franchise licenses by the National Basketball Association (NBA). This momentous decision brought professional basketball to both cities, creating opportunities for countless fans to rally behind their teams. The Suns have become known as the ultimate “nearly men” of the NBA, boasting the second-highest franchise win percentage of any team that has yet to clinch a championship.
