This legit bums me out.

Stacey went a little over the top at times, but he was really a great color analyst. Even when the Bulls were bad, he was a reason to tune in and made a great pairing with Adam Amin and Neil Funk. RIP!

Well horsefeathers.

This makes me so sad. I would have actually watched a few Bulls games the last couple years if I knew his time was limited.  I was really hoping he’d get the chance to call another good Bulls team. It won’t be the same without him.

I remember his first year it was a little rocky at first (IMO) and thought he was trying too hard to act passionate. Then I realized it wasn’t an act, that dude was enthusiastic as hell about the Bulls and he kept that enthusiasm whether they were 62-20 or 20-62.

Oh man, that sucks.  Stacey King was such a fun, enthusiastic announcer.  A breath of fresh air for a team that has been mired in mediocrity for so long.

Man, I got to meet him at a Windy City Bulls game back in February.  What a good dude RIP.

Going to get some hot sauce in his honor 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Damn, I was gonna ask if he had announced he was sick... what the hell. I dont even watch any games but Id watch rhe recaps and he clearly had fun watching his team. He made the highlights better.

This is terrible news. I enjoyed the short lived Derrick Rose era at least 20% more because of Stacey's calls.

It could be argued that Stacey was the only member of the Bulls organization giving full effort the last 10 years.

Going to miss him.

[Old Style]

Heart, hustle, and muscle.

Some didn't like his schtick. I loved it. It was passionate. You could hear the love he had for the Bulls. I don't know how he kept up that level of passion given the fact the organization was constantly a letdown. Bang, Bang, Bang! RIP Stacy!
