    Dick Ellingson says:

    I got hooked on basketball with eighteen years of the SuperSonics and, when I moved to Phoenix, went to most of the Suns games. Al McCoy had a long run, but I think Seattle’s Bob Blackburn was better on the air. One Suns game, I asked Bob at halftime to say “Hi” to the folks back home, as he did whenever the Sonics were on the road. He was friendly.
