Alvan Leigh Adams (born July 19, 1954, in Lawrence, Kansas) is a retired American professional basketball player. After starring at the University of Oklahoma, the 6'9" (2.06 m) power forward/center was selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 4th pick of the 1975 NBA Draft. Adams, who won the NBA Rookie of the Year Award in 1976 and led the Suns to an improbable season that landed them in the NBA Finals, was named to the NBA All-Star Game that season, and was also a member of the All-NBA Rookie Team. Adams spent his entire career with the Suns and retired in 1988 with 13,910 career points. His jersey number (33), is retired, however on the signing of free agent Grant Hill, Alvin granted him permission to wear his familiar No. 33 with the Suns.
