Phoenix Suns 'captivating sports story,' says ESPN NBA commentator Doris Burke

People just can't get enough of these Phoenix Suns right now.

"This is the kind of story, to me, that captures the imagination of sports fans," ESPN NBA commentator Doris Burke said Thursday afternoon.

"Think about it. Within a four-year stretch, they were the worst team in the NBA in terms of number of wins, a 11-year playoff drought and in one year, with three pivotal pieces going through this for the first time, they find their way all the way through to the NBA Finals."

Burke did ESPN's radio broadcast of Phoenix's 130-103 Game 6 win Wednesday over the Los Angeles Clippers at STAPLES Center to capture the Western Conference finals, took a red-eye flight back east and was in need of a good nap, but found a jolt of energy to talk about the nearly unexplainable, but truly remarkable journey of these Suns.
