Forward
Larry Nance
Phoenix's first-round pick in the 1981 NBA Draft, "Leapin' Larry" made his mark as the winner of the NBA's first Slam Dunk Championship in 1984. But Nance could do much more than jam. In six-plus seasons with the Suns, he averaged 17.3 points and 7.8 boards while shooting a sizzling 56 percent. The lanky power forward also ranks as the Suns' all-time top shot-blocker with 940 career swats. Nance would be traded in
1988, as the centerpiece of the deal with Cleveland which brought Kevin Johnson to Phoenix.
