The campaign was highlighted by Steve Nash winning his second consecutive MVP award and Boris Diaw being named Most Improved Player. Their postseason was marked by a historic comeback from a 3-1 deficit against the Los Angeles Lakers and a hard-fought victory over the Los Angeles Clippers, ultimately leading the franchise to the Western Conference Finals. The 2006 NBA Most Improved Player, Boris Diaw was a versatile forward for the Phoenix Suns who blossomed into a multidimensional "point center" and played a pivotal role in the franchise's "Seven Seconds or Less" era.
