Tom Pollin2This is horrible news. Good player, even better broadcaster. King brought the excitement of a fan to Bulls broadcasts. He's gone way too young.
Stacey King has died. 😞 Just 59 - far too young. An great player and analyst who loved the game, this city, and the Bulls so much. Always so friendly and outgoing, with an incredible energy and enthusiasm for life. He'll be so missed.
nyk44.bsky.social3Oh that's terrible, I knew he had been working as a broadcaster for years. I remember him coming to comfort Jerry Krause widow a couple years back when she got booed at a game, I thought that showed what a decent person he was
Sam2This sucks, he was one of my favorites as a kid, I loved following his final four run at OU
