The Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks began their existence as part of a league expansion, both voted in as new franchises for the 1968-69 season.

Then the Bucks one-upped the Suns by winning a coin flip for Lew Alcinder (you know, the dude who later changed his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and went on to Laker fame) in 1969.

The Suns played the long game for revenge. A long long.... loonnng game. Now 53 seasons later, the Suns are trying to get back at the Bucks by taking a championship out of their clutches in the 2021 NBA Finals.
