The 2000–01 NBA season Phoenix Suns , members of the Pacific Division in the National Basketball Association .[1] Mario Elie ,[2] [3] [4] Tony Delk ,[5] Chris Dudley from the New York Knicks .[6] Scott Skiles , who enjoyed his first full season as head coach as the Suns posted a 7-game winning streak after losing their season opener, and held a 28–20 record at the All-Star break.[7] [8] playoffs ,[9] America West Arena was the home court venue for the Suns.
The Suns were led by point guard Jason Kidd , who averaged 16.9 points , 6.4 rebounds , 9.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game. Kidd again led the league in assists per game, while earning another All-NBA First Team selection and NBA All-Defensive First Team (after being selected to the Second Team the year previous). He was also the team's lone representative in the 2001 NBA All-Star Game .[10] [11] [12] Shawn Marion showed improvement as he averaged a double-double , with 17.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. Kidd and Clifford Robinson were the other starters to provide the majority of the team's scoring, with Robinson averaging 16.4 points per game. Sixth men reserves Delk and Rodney Rogers both brought offensive firepower from the bench, averaging 12.3 and 12.2 points per game respectively.[13] Penny Hardaway was the team's highest-paid player, but only played in just four games due to a knee injury, averaging 9.8 points and 1.5 steals per game.[14] [15]
For the fourth season in a row, the Suns finished third in the Pacific Division. The team earned a Western Conference First Round match-up with the 3rd-seeded Sacramento Kings . Phoenix would take Game 1, a 86–83 road win in Sacramento,[16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] New Jersey Nets ,[22] [23] [24] [25] Detroit Pistons ,[26] [27] [28] Portland Trail Blazers , and Elie retired.
