that is covering sports and being a part of the sports community, which is really what it is in this town.

And I said on Saturday, Stacey King was such a joy to work with, or Sunday, to learn the game from and to talk to.

But you know that.

You know that because you watched the games and you saw the exact same version of Stacey that we got to experience off the mic.

He was like that in every broadcast.

And to have to write that in past tense is something that I still don't fully comprehend.

And I think it's going to take a lot of us a very long time to be able to do so.

He was so good at teaching the game, too.

We're so lucky in the analysts that we have who are somehow as brilliantly entertaining as they are good teachers.

And Stacey is one of those.

It's just such a loss.

And I don't even know how to completely put it into words like this.

Yeah, they have no idea.

They just know him for the personality that he became in their homes every day.

He was a wonderful teammate.

When that phrase extends far past, when you stop playing the game and you see how that becomes part of the game broadcast, when you see how that becomes part of your daily life, he was a wonderful teammate.

And I know that there was a lot of audio that was played.

People sent me a lot of videos on Sunday and I just could not.

It was very hard to watch and listen because you just can't believe that you don't get to joke around with Stacey or be a part of really the joy that was the Bulls broadcast for so many years.

We know, especially this past season, a lot of people tuned in just to watch Stacey and Adam Amin just get to chop it up.
