Steve Albert - Commentator or Clobpoll?

If you're a Steve Albert fan, this post may rub you the wrong way. I am not, nor will I ever be a Steve Albert fan.

In July 2012 the Phoenix Suns annouced Steve Albert as the next play-by-play announcer. Steve Albert has a Bachelor of Science degree in telecommunications from Kent State and began announcing games for the World Hockey Association. For the past 13 years before joining the Suns he was the announcer for the New Jersey Nets. Spent five years with the Golden State Warriors and one season with the New Orleans Hornets.

One thing Steve Albert is NOT… a Phoenix Suns fan! He can't fake it. During his so called play-by-play Steve's announcing style favors every opponent of the Suns. Don't let there be a big team like LA or Miami playing against the Suns, then he's calling the games with his pants off.

I'm a Phoenix Suns homer, I was born and raised in Phoenix. I've always known the Phoenix Suns, I attended by first game at the age of 3 with my father in the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. So my Suns can do no wrong in my book. Winning or loosing. I'm a diehard Phoenix Suns fan.

Steve Albert during a game will spotlight and recap highlights of the opposing team. He's often heard continuously quoting the statistics and strong points of the other team. He was hired as the announcer for the Phoenix Suns not the opposing team. Phoenix Suns fans don't want to hear our supposedly annoucer spotlighting the other team. Rather the Suns are playing at their best or not.
