Jim Fagan's iconic voice, known for defining NBA promotions in the 90s and early 2000s, will make a return as NBC collaborates with his family to use AI technology for voice cloning. This initiative aims to evoke nostalgia among basketball fans while honoring Fagan's legacy after his death in 2017. Although his family supports the move, some fans express discomfort over the use of AI to replicate a voice from the past, raising debates about authenticity and the ethics of such practices in sports broadcasting.
For many basketball fans, Jim's unique and recognizable voice immediately conjures a deep sense of nostalgia for a special time in NBA history.
Knowing that his voice will once again be part of the game he loved - and that a new generation of fans will get to experience it - is incredibly special for our family.
