The 2000–01 NBA season was the 33rd season for the Phoenix Suns, members of the Pacific Division in the National Basketball Association.[1] During the off-season, the Suns signed free agents Mario Elie,[2][3][4] and Tony Delk,[5][6] and acquired Chris Dudley from the New York Knicks.[7]

The Suns were coached by Scott Skiles, who enjoyed his first full season as head coach as the Suns posted a 7-game winning streak after losing their season opener, and held a 28–20 record at the All-Star break.[8] The team posted another 7-game winning streak between March and April, as they finished the regular season with a 51–31 record.[9] For a franchise-record 13th season in a row, the Suns earned a trip to the playoffs,[10] but would later lose in the Western Conference First Round. America West Arena was the home court venue for the Suns.

The Suns were led by point guard Jason Kidd, who averaged 16.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 2.2 steals per game; Kidd again led the league in assists per game, while earning another All-NBA First Team selection, and NBA All-Defensive First Team (after being selected to the Second Team the year previous). He was also the team's lone representative in the 2001 NBA All-Star Game in Washington, D.C..[11][12][13][14][15]

In addition, second-year star Shawn Marion showed improvement as he averaged a double-double, with 17.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, while Clifford Robinson provided the team with 16.4 points per game. Off the bench, Delk contributed 12.3 points per game, and Rodney Rogers provided with 12.2 points per game.[16] Penny Hardaway was the team's highest-paid player, but only played in just four games due to a knee injury, averaging 9.8 points and 1.5 steals per game,[17][18] while Tom Gugliotta averaged 6.4 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, but only played 57 games due to injury, and Elie contributed 4.4 points per game.[16]

For the fourth season in a row, the Suns finished third in the Pacific Division. The team earned a Western Conference First Round match-up with the 3rd-seeded Sacramento Kings. Phoenix would take Game 1, a 86–83 road win in Sacramento,[19][20] but would then lose the next three games in a row, losing the series three games to one.[21][22][23][24]

Following the season, Kidd was traded to the New Jersey Nets,[25][26][27][28][29] while Robinson was dealt to the Detroit Pistons,[30][31][32][33] Dudley re-signed as a free agent with his former team, the Portland Trail Blazers, and Elie retired.

For the season, the Suns redesigned their primary logo,[34] and changed their uniforms adding side panels to their jerseys and shorts,[35][36] and grey to their color scheme. The logo and uniforms both remained in use until 2013.
