Magoo Marjon is a Filipino sports play-by-play commentator. He is known for calling lines such as "Bang!" (like of Mike Breen), "May kasama pang foul" (when a player shoots the ball and fouled), and "Punches it through" (alternate to Bang!).
Career
Courtside reporting
Marjon started his career in 2008 as a courtside reporter for the Philippine Basketball Association games when it was still produced by Solar TV.
Play-by-play commentary
He was then elevated as a commentator for the radio coverage of the games. When Sports5 took over as the coverer of the PBA games in 2010, Marjon was assigned as a play-by-play commentator. He also serves as a play-by-play commentator for other basketball leagues covered by Sports5, notably for the Pilipinas Commercial Basketball League (PCBL), PBA Developmental League (PBA D-League) and for international basketball tournaments such as the FIBA Asia Championship (2013, notably when Jimmy Alapag shot a nail-biting three vs. South Korea, and 2015), 2014 FIBA World Cup, and 2016 Rio Olympics among others.
