Humble Billy Hayes

Humble Billy Hayes

"Humble" Billy Hayes is an American public address announcer for the Dallas Mavericks basketball team of the NBA.

He also serves as the public address voice of the Dallas Sidekicks indoor soccer team. In addition, Hayes used to host a morning radio show on KDBN, "the Bone," a classic rock radio station in Dallas-Fort Worth. He has also previously hosted a talk show on KLIF, another Dallas area radio station.

As with most NBA public address announcers, Hayes is known for creative ways to get the crowd involved into the game. For example, before opposing players, such as Steve Nash, would shot a free throw during a regular season or playoff game, Hayes will often introduce the player approaching the foul line for "one noisy shot."

In 2006, during the end of the month of May, KDBN released Humble and Bone Brother Donovan and replaced them with a new morning lineup. Humble then refused several other offers to host radio talk shows so that he could spend more time working as Senior Pastor of a church in Richardson, TX called [http://www.gracechurch.cn Grace Church] When asked what he does he replies, "I teach people how to love each other."
