The Phoenix Suns gave Monty Williams quite the surprise when they presented him his Coach of the Year trophy.

Instead of the usual video tributes from family, players and friends to commemorate an achievement, the Suns took it up a notch by flying Williams' family to Phoenix and letting them present the award to him. The daughters of the Suns coach did really well in hiding the fact that they are in Phoenix, leading to a huge shock for Williams.

Of course Monty Williams was ecstatic not only about the win but also to be with his family in the important day. After all, they have been his biggest supporters since he took over the Suns job in 2019.

“To have my wife and most of my kids in the gym with the players, it was a priceless moment,” Williams said of the surprise, per Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports.

Williams certainly deserved the award, though. The Suns have the best record in the NBA, all while boasting a balanced offense and defense under him. It is also worth noting that his victory was a landslide, with the runner-up in Memphis Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins not even close in the voting.

Of course Williams and the Suns can't relax and celebrate too much given the difficult battle they are in with the Dallas Mavericks. Still, being with his family has to give the Phoenix coach some relief and added motivation to win.
