By Greg Esposito

It’s time for the first round of the Phoenix’s Favorite Sun Tourney (If you have no clue what we are talking about click here). Here is the first matchup from the “Seven Seconds or Less” Region (For the entire Bracket Click Here).

#1 Steve Nash vs. #8 Raja Bell

Steve Nash-Two time MVP, 4-time All Star, NBA Citizenship Award, two Western Conference Final appearances and numerous endorsements all since his return to the Suns. Oh did we mention that ESPN named him the ninth greatest point guard of all time?

Nash has been the engine that drives the Suns run and gun style. His return to the Valley signified a return to prominence for the Suns franchise.

Raja Bell - Best known for his “heroics” versus the Lakers and Kobe Bryant Bell was an key piece of the Seven Seconds or Less era.

Bell was the teams “defensive stopper” making the NBA All-Defensive first team in 2006-07 and the All-Defensive second team in 2007-2008. Bell also showed the ability to hit the three as a Sun never shooting under 40% for a season.
