The longest-tenured team broadcaster in NBA history, Al McCoy, has died, the Phoenix Suns announced Saturday.
“His trademark phrases from ‘Shazam!’ to ‘Zing Go the Strings’ to ‘Heartbreak Hotel' have cemented his legacy throughout Arizona and the NBA,” the Suns organization stated on its website.
“His distinctive voice, vivid descriptions and deep knowledge of the game created a unique style that remained a staple for more than five decades. McCoy will forever be known as the Voice of the Phoenix Suns.”
