Barry played for six teams over his 14-year career.
He got his start with the Los Angeles Clippers before moving on to the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Seattle SuperSonics, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets.
His time with the Spurs was most memorable and he won two championships with the team in 2005 and 2007.
Barry’s career average was 9.3 points, 3 rebounds, and 3.2 assists, shooting 46% from the field and 40.5% from the three-point line.
Following his time in the NBA, Barry worked for various teams and most recently returned to San Antonio to help the Spurs.
Now he is coming to the Suns, a team that is eager to get better and finally make a huge impact on the Western Conference.
There is a lot of great talent on the team, including the big three of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal.
But they have come up short for the last two seasons and fans are demanding to see something different in 2024-25.
With a new head coach and a strong staff around him, the Suns are positioning themselves for a rebound season.
