Shazam! Al McCoy has been the voice of the Phoenix Suns since 1972, making him the longest tenured broadcaster in the NBA.
In honor of his talent and commitment to the media industry, McCoy has been selected by the Arizona Music and Entertainment Hall of Fame as one of their newest inductees.
The induction ceremony is Sunday, February 13 at the Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix.
