Suns Players with the Most All-Star Selections

With both Chris Paul and Devin Booker both being selected as All-Stars this year, I thought it was worth a trip down memory lane to find out which players have represented the Phoenix Suns in the most All-Star games.

The Suns have had many All-Stars over the years, too many to list in this article, so we will be looking at the players with the most. Some of these players appeared in more All-Star games than listed, as they gained the accolade while with other teams, which means you won't be seeing someone like Shaq on the list.

As is customary in these types of articles, lets start with some honourable mentions. All of these player have appeared in 3 All-Star games for the Suns.

Sir Charles was voted a starter representing the Suns from 1993-96, all 4 seasons that he was with the Suns. He started in '93, '95 & '96, but was unable to participate due injury in the 1994 game.

Steve Nash

I think most of you would have seen this one coming thanks to his longevity with the team and how long he reigned as one of the best guards in the League.
