And I think that fans appreciated that.

And I know that the Bulls players through the years,

They love Stacey.

They accepted him as one of their own because he was always fair to them.

He understood the trials that they went through over an 82-game schedule, and they appreciated his fairness and honesty.

Mark and Marshall, thanks for having me on.

Stacy was a legend in the broadcasting industry, and Bulls fans are going to miss him tremendously.

What was your favorite Stacey King signature catchphrase?

Every time Stacey did that, I would get fired up, man.

I, you know, and Benetti is so good, you know, kind of directing traffic and making sure everybody's voice is heard.

He asked really good questions and, you know, so Jason makes it easy.

I think Anthony has been really good.

Just, you know, the way he kind of comes in and delivers good content.

His timing is really good.
