Charles Barkley was traded to Phoenix in the 1992–93 season, he averaged 25.6 points on .520 shooting, 12.2 rebounds and a career high 5.1 assists per game, leading the Suns to an NBA best 62–20 record. For his efforts, Barkley won the league's Most Valuable Player Award, and was selected to play in his seventh straight All-Star Game. He became the third player ever to win league MVP honors in the season immediately after being traded, established multiple career highs and led Phoenix to their first NBA Finals appearance since 1976. Despite Barkley's proclamation to Jordan, that it was "destiny" for the Suns to win the title, they were defeated in six games by the Bulls.
The Phoenix Suns on fire snapback is definitely a blast from the past, to wear it almost takes you back to the mid 90s. It features most noticeably, a flame pattern wrapping the entire cap with the Suns logo embroidered across the front and the term "On Fire" on the back. It is one of the rare old school snapbacks that do not feature the classic characteristic green under bill as the design ops for a solid purple one with the word "Suns" embroidered on the top. The cap was part of an "On Fire" series as we posted the Bulls version a while back, the only thing is the Suns cap as of now is only available in youth sizes. That has not stopped them from flying off the shelf though, so hurry over to our snapback shop to pick one up today.
