Phoenix Suns
 NEWS FROM THE STANDARD
A Risky B-to-B Bet in Vegas

 PROFILE
After more than three decades, the Phoenix Suns still burn for an NBA Championship. In 1968 the franchise was awarded to businessman Richard Bloch, who was fronted by investors such as Tony Curtis and Henry Mancini. With players Ricky Sobers and Garfield Heard, the team made its first title bid in 1976 but lost to the Boston Celtics. The Suns' second run at the championship ended against the Chicago Bulls in 1993, despite the talent of Charles Barkley. The current team is coached by Scott Skiles and led by forward Cliff Robinson. CEO Jerry Colangelo, who bought the Suns following a drugs scandal in 1987, owns a majority of the Suns as well as the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team.
