You don't think about somebody like that even becoming weak or vulnerable, let alone passing away.

And that's the way I feel about somebody like Stacey King.

And I hate it.

I hate what I'm about to say because it sounds cliche, but I mean it.

Like, he was so full of life.

So his death is even more ironic than most people's.

When his, I was saying to Marshall, when his basketball sensibilities were insulted, it was some of the best Stacey King that you could get.

And he was not afraid to lean in.

And look, there is a certain amount of responsibility, I guess I will use that word, that a team broadcaster does have to have and can't take it a step, I guess, too far.

But he took it right to that limit.

And the Bulls here,

Charles really is, though, with that crew, really is at a deficit without a ring.

You know what I mean?

But that makes it fun.

That makes the dynamic great.

Exactly.

In a playful way.

Not having that chip really kills him on that broadcast.

He was an explosive, terrific big man.

Why why leave me out of that everybody's calling me now man.
