Chicago Says Goodbye To The Voice Of The Bulls

TLDR: Stacey King is gone, and Bulls fans are flooding the timeline with the calls that made even the lost years feel like must-watch TV.

  1. No partnership defined King's career quite like the one he had with Derrick Rose. The two were a match made in Chicago basketball heaven — the hometown kid doing impossible things, and the homer in the booth losing his mind in real time. 'Let me step back and kiss myself' wasn't just a call, it was a whole genre.

    “LET ME STEP BACK AND KISS MYSELF!” Stacey King and DRose were a match made in heaven.

    BarstoolChief reshared a DRose moment of his own and called it poetry, which feels like the right word for the whole 24-hour run of tributes. Every clip people are pulling up is some little piece of the soundtrack King wrote for a generation of Bulls basketball. Forever the voice of the Bulls. Rest easy, Stacey.
