- Al McCoy (born April 26, 1933), also known as The Voice of the Suns, is an American sportscaster. He has been the play-by-play announcer for the Phoenix Suns of the National Basketball Association since 1972. The ongoing 2022-2023 NBA season is his 51st season with the team. He is the longest-tenured broadcaster in NBA history. Along with Chick Hearn, Hot Rod Hundley and Kevin Calabro, he is among the last of NBA broadcasters to have been simulcast on both television and radio, before league-officials ended the practice in the mid-00's and McCoy's broadcasts became exclusive to radio and online streaming via the . His fast-paced, classical broadcasting style coupled with his colorful use of catchphrase to distinguish plays has proven influential to a generation of sportscasters, such as current lead NBA on ABC play-by-play announcer Mike Breen, who remarked of McCoy as "one of my heroes" during live ESPN coverage of the 2021 Western Conference Finals. Steve Albert said "I put him up there with Vin Scully and Ernie Harwell, and all the greats, all the legends." He is awarded by the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and inducted into the Phoenix Suns Ring of Honor. (en)
