He became the focus of a media frenzy in 1997 when he went on trial on felony charges of forcible sodomy which involved biting a female sex partner repeatedly. At one time a 42 year-old woman (who had known Albert for 10 years) accused Albert of throwing her on a bed in a Virginia hotel, biting her on the back 15 times, sodomizing her, and then forcing her to perform oral sex. After DNA tests proved that the bite marks were his, he pled guilty to misdemeanor assault charges. [1] Consequently, NBC, whom Albert worked for over 20 years fired him shortly after doing play-by-play for the 1997 NBA Finals on The NBA on NBC. Other NBC Sports duties that Albert held were play-by-play announcing for the NFL, college basketball, boxing, NHL All-Star Games, and hosting Major League Baseball studio and pre-game shows. He also spent 13 years as the sports director of the network's flagship station, WNBC-TV.
Fortunately for Albert, NBC brought him back less than two years later and in 2001, he was back as the main play-by-play man for NBA telecasts. Bob Costas took over for Albert on the basketball side in the 1997-1998 season before stepping down after the 2000 NBA Finals.
