[BKinSJC]

The one for the Suns coaches isn't too hard. It would've been:

► Show Spoiler

1981: John MacLeod
1993 and 1995: Paul Westphal
2007: Mike D'Antoni
2022: Monty Williams

21 and 19 All-Star selections are:

Edit: I added the player with 18 selections and 3 of the 4 with 15.

Edit 2: I think I know the last one as well.

► Show Spoiler

LeBron James and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are 21 and 19, respectively. Kobe Bryant was picked 18 times. 15 times is Shaq, Kevin Garnett, Kevin Durant, and Tim Duncan.

Side note - if ABA All-Star selections were included, Julius Erving would have 16 total (5 ABA, 11 NBA). He's one of the few players to be selected every year of their career.

[BKinSJC]

Oh, there's one more I'm pretty sure on:

Suns Slam Dunk winners were:

► Show Spoiler

Larry Nance in 1984, Ced Ceballos in 1992

[pickle]

Ooooh I remember that blindfolded dunk.

[BKinSJC]

Suns 3-point champions were:

► Show Spoiler

2005: Quentin Richardson (surprising, I know ... he took a ton that year but wasn't necessarily a high-percentage guy. Had a knack for making them in the clutch though, at least until the playoffs).

2018: Devin Booker (surprising only because he's become such a mediocre-to-bad 3-point guy recently).
