Phoenix Suns win the Western Conference & will play in the NBA finals for the 1st time in 28 years. The last time they were there, Paul Westphal, who just passed on Jan 2, 2021 was the coach who took them to the finals. I’m sad that he isn’t here now to see this.

Feeling nostalgic for Paul Westphal. The first time we got to the finals, he was the star player. The second time, he was the coach. And now the third time, he is in heaven. #westy #phoenixsuns @Suns

Kobe passed away in January, 2020. Lakers win for Kobe. Paul Westphal passes away in January. The @Suns will win it for Paul. Great team effort.

The last time the Phoenix Suns were in the finals, Paul Westphal was the coach and they had Danny Majerle and Charles Barkley. They lost to the Bulls. Sadly, Westphal passed away on January 2nd of this year.
