'Voice of the Suns' Al McCoy reflects on 46 years with the Suns

Al McCoy has so many stories.

Like the time he was broadcasting Game 5 of the 1976 NBA Finals between the Suns and Boston Celtics in Boston Garden. A bunch of rowdy Celtics fans were sitting right next to him and, well, we’ll let McCoy tell the story.

“It was an unusually hot and humid day in Boston,” McCoy said. “There was no air conditioning in the Boston Garden. When I got to my broadcast location I saw that they had actually sold the seats right next to me. These four young guys came in, sat next to me with their big bags of beer, wine and chips and dip ready for a party.
