I Wanna Go Higher!

So if you're a Chicago Bulls fan like me, you watch as many of their games as you can. Of course, it's a given that you watch for their swarming defense, the awesome dunks, and the team spirit that this team exudes. There is one thing that amplifies all of their positives- or should I say, one person. Stacey King.

The King, as I refer to him, wore the Bulls uniform from 1989-1994, so he was part of that first three-peat. After being traded away to the Timberwolves, he became a journeyman, playing everywhere from Turkey to Italy to Argentina. But that's beyond the point- the King has come home, and I couldn't be happier.

Many commentary duos or trios have the problem of not showing much emotion during play- Hockey Night in Canada suffers pretty badly from this, but that's another story for another day. Every color commentator needs a live wire, and lead man Neil Funk surely has one. The King gets incredibly animated during his play-by-play, and just searching for it on Youtube will bring up hilarious results. But the Bulls decided to take it a step further and wrap all of the King's little nuggets into one convenient soundboard.

My only lament is that because he's a Comcast SportsNet commentator, he won't be able to call the action should the Bulls make it to the NBA Finals. Either way, he's the best thing to happen to basketball commentary since Gus Johnson.

Keep bringing the hot sauce, King. Here's to hoping you call Bulls games for the rest of your life.
