Stacey King Dies: Three-Time NBA Champion and the Man Who Scored 70 Points with Jordan!

King was selected as the sixth overall pick in the 1989 NBA Draft after a successful collegiate career at the University of Oklahoma. He left his most significant mark with the Chicago Bulls, where he won three consecutive championship titles during the Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen era.

After departing the Bulls during the 1993-94 season, he also played for Minnesota, Miami, Boston, and Dallas before concluding his professional career.

In 2007, King returned to Chicago, this time as a television commentator. The following season, he became the lead analyst for Bulls game broadcasts, a position he held for nearly two decades. Following his passing, franchise owner Jerry Reinsdorf issued a statement.

King was also remembered by fans for his distinctive commentary style and the numerous memorable nicknames he bestowed upon Chicago players. News of his death resonated throughout the basketball community, as he continued to serve as the lead analyst for the team's broadcasts until the end of the 2025-26 season.

Basketball enthusiasts also recall his legendary quip that he and Michael Jordan combined for 70 points, despite King's contribution being limited to a single made free throw.
