Super thrilled about this. Bloomer is going to be a household name one day. He was born to do this.

The Phoenix Suns on Wednesday announced that Jon Bloom will take the mantle from Al McCoy as the primary radio play-by-play voice of the NBA franchise starting with the upcoming 2023-24 season.

Never heard of him before, hope he can live up to Al McCoy’s expectations.

Sounds like he's from 50 shades of grey

I wonder if he will make kinky commentary. :wink:

I was hoping he’d replace Al. Great voice and I’ve enjoyed him on the broadcast whenever he’s been on in the past.

He's done the post game shows for over a decade. The last few years he's covered for Al. He is smooth.
He gave me a shout out last year on air during the Suns @ Hawks game (First game post KD trade).

While in NY I went to Brooklyn to see what would be our last game pre-KD trade would be and got to say hi to him.
I was driving back to NC, so where I would have normally drove down to ATL for the game, I was maybe in Virginia at the time.
I messaged him on twitter mentioning I was driving back, and he wished me a safe drive home just after halftime. I've actually been trying to find the radio broadcast audio from that game so I could clip it.
