Before Devin Booker, before Steve Nash, before Kevin Johnson and Charles Barkley, there was Walter Davis. The Phoenix Suns have seen a litany of amazing players come through the organization, but only one sits atop the all-time scoring list. Playing 11 seasons in the Valley of the Sun, Walter Davis is that man.
The Greyhound, who possessed a jumper so beautiful that he was Michael Jordan’s favorite player as a youth, scored 15,666 points with the Suns. The UNC alum was a six-time All-Star, a Rookie of the Year, and selected to two All-NBA teams. What he meant to the Phoenix Suns was unquantifiable, as he ushered in the post-1976 NBA Finals Era Suns into sustained relevance.
