The Valley said goodbye to a legend over the weekend.
The big picture: Longtime Phoenix Suns announcer Al McCoy died at age 91 on Saturday.
He was the "Voice of the Suns" for 51 seasons, calling his first game for the team in 1972 and retiring last year.
What they're saying: "When I think back about people who have made incredible contributions to this franchise for decades, not just years, decades, you've got to put Al at the top of the list," former Suns owner Jerry Colangelo said.
Steve Nash called McCoy "the teammate that never wore a jersey," and said, "He loved his Phoenix Suns as much as anyone and his legacy will endure the generations of Suns fans to come."
🗣 You tell us: McCoy was a part of our lives for generations and was probably one of the most beloved people in Arizona. We'll all be yelling "Shazam!" during Suns games because of him.
