Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan has released a statement after the death of Stacey King, a three-time NBA champion with the Bulls. King passed away at 59. Jordan said he was deeply saddened to hear of King's passing and sent his well-wishes to his former teammate's family. King was drafted with the No. 6 overall selection in the 1989 NBA Draft by the Bulls and averaged 6.6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game during five seasons with the team. He played on the Bulls' first three championship teams in the 1990s before being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 1994. After his NBA career, King made a handful of coaching stops before rejoining the Bulls' organization as a broadcaster in 2006, cementing his status as a fan-favorite with his signature catchphrases for players like Derrick Rose. The Bulls organization has also released a statement, saying King was a cherished member of the Bulls family and one of the truly unique personalities in the organization's history. King's connection to Chicago, the Bulls, and the fans spanned more than three decades, first as a player and later as the unmistakable voice that helped bring Bulls basketball into the homes of generations of fans. The Bulls will miss him deeply and remember the joy, energy, humor, candor, and passion he brought to the organization, the broadcasts, and the fans every day. The thoughts of the Bulls organization are with King's family and loved ones.
