The 1999–2000 NBA season was the 32nd season for the National Basketball Association's Phoenix Suns.[1] During the off-season, the Suns acquired All-Star guard Anfernee Hardaway from the Orlando Magic,[2] signed free agent Rodney Rogers,[3] and re-signed former Suns center Oliver Miller, who played for the team when they reached the 1993 NBA Finals.[4] Scott Skiles would come on as head coach, replacing Danny Ainge after a 13–7 start to the season.[5] The Suns posted a 7-game winning streak between November and December, then won eight straight games in February, and finished third in the Pacific Division at 53–29,[6] and extend the franchise's record for playoff appearances before losing in the Western Conference Semi-finals.
Clifford Robinson led the team in scoring at 18.5 points per game. Hardaway, Jason Kidd, Rodney Rogers, Tom Gugliotta, and top draft pick Shawn Marion out of UNLV,[7] rounded out a list of six Suns players averaging double-digits in points.[8] Hardaway provided the team with 16.9 points and 5.3 assists per game, while Kidd averaged 14.3 points, led the NBA with 10.1 assists per game, and was tied for fifth in steals with 2.0 per game, while being selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game.[9] Rogers played a sixth man role averaging 13.8 points per game off the bench, and finished the regular season fourth in three-point field goal percentage, and won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award.[10] Gugliotta contributed 13.7 points and 7.9 rebounds per game, but did not play in any of the Suns' playoff games due to injury. Kidd would earn All-NBA First Team honors, and he and Robinson both made the NBA All-Defensive Second Team. Marion averaged 10.2 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, and was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. In March, Kidd suffered an ankle injury and missed the final month of the regular season.[11] Former Suns guard Kevin Johnson would come out of his retirement,[12] averaging 6.7 points and 4.0 assists per game in six games.[8]
The Suns finished with the same regular season record, but did not have home court advantage going into their Western Conference First Round match-up with the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. Still, the Suns would advance to their first conference semifinals appearance since the 1994–95 season en route to taking the series three games to one.[13] The Suns lost in the conference semi-finals to new league MVP Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers four games to one.[14] Following the season, Johnson retired for the second and last time, while Rex Chapman also retired due to continuing injuries, Miller was released to free agency, and Luc Longley was traded to the New York Knicks.
