Albert returns to the NBA after spending 14 seasons as the television and radio play-by-play announcer for the New Jersey Nets (dating back to their last ABA championship season), five years as the television play-by-play man for the Golden State Warriors and working with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Although he has extensive experience in basketball, Albert may be best known for his work as one of boxing's top blow-by-blow announcers. He has called some of the biggest fights in history during his 17 years behind the microphone for Showtime Championship Boxing, including Holyfield-Tyson I and II (meaning he was heard and seen by the largest audience in pay-per-view history). Albert has been nominated for two Cable Ace Awards for his work in boxing and has twice been named announcer of the year by the International Boxing Federation.
Albert is also well-known as a versatile broadcaster in the New York area. He has done play-by-play for the New York Islanders, New York Rangers and New York Jets, has served as sports anchor at WCBS-TV, WNBC-TV and WWOR-TV and did morning sports reports on WABC radio.
Albert began his broadcasting career while at Kent State University, where he was a part-time play-by-play announcer for the Springfield Kings of the American Hockey League and for his college hockey team (which was founded as a club by Albert and later became a varsity team after his graduation). After graduation, he did play-by-play for the Cleveland Crusaders of the World Hockey Association and worked with Cleveland Cavaliers.
In addition to his work in professional sports broadcasting, Albert has branched out into other forms of entertainment as well. He was the longtime host and play-by-play man for MTV's Rock 'N Jock basketball and softball games and was the host of two nationally-syndicated sports-entertainment shows, "Battledome" and "Grudge Match." He is the voice of countless national television and radio commercials and has appeared in the television series "Sex and the City," Resurrection Boulevard" and "Ellen" and the feature film "I Spy."
Albert is the youngest of three sportscaster brothers. His oldest brother, Marv, does basketball play-by-play for Turner Sports, while his other brother, Al, is the television play-by-play announcer for the Indiana Pacers. Steve not only followed Marv's footsteps into broadcasting, but was also a ball boy for the New York Knicks like his big brother before him.
