Al McCoy has a gift. He could say elevates and detonates and we would love it because of the way he says it. When Leander says it it sounds like him trying to be McCoy in his own way and he’s not. He’s a local boy, grew up watching Al and probably thought he would fill Al’s shoes. He should give up trying to be Al and just be himself and he would probably do better.
I like Kray alright. I don’t love him. He sounds like a professional broadcaster. He has no connection with the Suns that I know of and isn’t from Phoenix is he?
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.
I wonder if people thought McCoy was douchey when he was 40 years younger.
No.
But he was and is a bit of a homer. Most broadcasters are.

They should be unless it’s a national broadcast and you’re not affiliated. However, my favorite opponent announcers are ones that see the good in your team too and at least try to be a little unbiased on close calls.

Great highlight reel showing their willingness to pass to each other and move off the ball to get into space. It's not 3 guys just standing around watching and waiting to shoot. I still don't know if either of those 3 can or should play the 4 fulltime but I love seeing them out there. You get the positionless look at the 2-3-4 spots with long, rangy wings who can all pretty much dribble, pass, shoot and switch on defense. I always felt the 7SOL teams weren't necessarily small because of Shawn at the 4, but because of Amar'e at the 5. If we have Ayton there with his bigger body, rebounding and (improving) defense, maybe we can get away with Cam/Bridges/Oubre at the 4.
