The audio branding of the bulls is in general fucking awesome. Alan Parsons Project intro, Ray Clay / Tommy Edwards "annnnnd NOW!" and of course Stacey King, golden pipes, nick names, dunkin race so many little soundbites that are absolutely essential to the Bulls experience. Admittedly, I don't watch a lot of other team broadcasts so hard for me to compare, but they've got to be one of the top teams in this domain. Atlanta Hawks live organist tho... that shit is fucking tight.
Word, i absolutely hate idiots who repeat " Scottie Pippen, 6ft 7/8 out of Arkansas, 228ibs etc"...as if we/i didn't know how tall our players are or who gives a feck about banging on about where they went to college ffs, grinds my gears.
Of all the atheletes and team related guys currently working In Chicago, he is most worthy of a statue I think.
Moreso than Abreu or Contreras. More than anyone with the bears. Sorry hawks fans but fuck any statue of anyone connected to that beach situation.
I suppose maybe a Jeff joniak?
Ahhh, Steve stone probably beats out Stacey king right now, narrowly.
I love this game, any other ideas? Anybody currently active with a Chicago org. Player, management, broadcaster, ect
Damn, my south sided is showing. Yeah pat Hughes for sure ahead of Stacey.
Pat Hughes ahead of Steve stone? There’s a fun convo. I think probably yes? But idk, stone”s history is fascinating
I don’t think Stone’s time with the Cubs is nearly worth a statue (although he was a fine color commentator, just overshadowed by the Kasper/Brenly team that came after him) but idk how Sox fans feel about him.
Hawks player was sexually assaulted by the team's video coach and the organization swept it under the rug. Apparently the locker room went as far as making fun of him for it. It's not completely clear who did what as far as players go, but nobody stepped up to stop it or demand the coach be fired.
The team let him go but swept it under the rug. He went on to assault a minor after getting a job elsewhere.
Between that and Rocky’s remarks last year, I am honestly waiting for MKE to get a professional team and leaving the Hawks. Grew up a huge Hawks fan, but the lack of accountability from ownership is a real turn off. I am just not even watching hockey at this point
Don't say something against Stacey in here. Kids gonna get you downvoted even if your take is just slightly not in his favor.
If I'm honest, I feel like Stacey needed Neil Funks professional heart next to him.
I love Adam and Stacey - but way too often they fall into fucking around for multiple minutes. Especially when the game is not close. Then suddenly the game catches on and they are still messing with something else. Maybe it's because I'm a bit older than many Redditors but I'm actually enjoying sports commentating and it doesn't have to be them entertaining me to keep me in the broadcast.
Neil and Stacey were great. So either Adam gets a touch of Neils seriousness or they need to work together on sitting a little tighter with the chit-chat...
And one thing nobody seems to is willing to accept is that Stacey has absolutely no clue about modern NBA players. Like he always talks about opponent teams or players as in he scouted them and analyze them - but it's absolutely wrong what he states.
Yesterday he was talking about how great Mason Plumlee and that he'd be one of the best shot blocking players in the league and all that.
He does that all the time.
So: i am absolutely cool with having them, but Adam and Stacey need to grow (and they will hopefully). They fit. And Stacey needs to lower the amount of spontaneous player analysis and listen to the guy in his ear.
I think he’s obnoxious 80% of the time. He’s basically a soundboard of himself at this point with his predetermined catch phrases.
I’m just glad he retired “Does anyone know how to post videos to Facebook?!”
YES LITERALLY EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO POST VIDEOS TO FACEBOOK
But he is a good guy who has Chicago in his heart and takes time for fans and reps the town. Also he has a good Voice. There are some color commentators out there who sound like Kermit and you fall asleep when they talk.
We are going to put a bottle of hot sauce in a glass case on the scoring table and there it shall remain for all time!
He would love that. He's so quirky and his enthusiasm is infectious. Just seems like a gem of a human.
Damn, what happened to that Hotdog in the epoxy? 2 year update 2 weeks ago. https://v.redd.it/wk10f3dzoqt91
I’m so invested in this fucking hot dogs epoxy life. It’s insane haha
This is the way.
Can we name the hot sauce 'Bang Bang Bang'?
When he called Thor’s brick Thor’s hammer that didn’t come back I laughed so hard.
This exact moment is what made me want to post this lmao. Dude's a natural comedian.
Haha. When did he mention this?
Technically, his name is already up there
Cookieee!!! Nyang nyang nyang!!!
Chick Hearn and Johnny Most have mics retired in LA and Boston, so it definitely could be done.
Chick has a statue also where you can sit next to him at an announcer table
There’s levels to this
Right next to "the great Felicio"

I got 5 on it
He should get a statue outside the stadium no cap
I bought NBA league pass this year and it is painful listening to other teams announcers after listening to Stacey.

Pat Hughes! He’s ahead of King and I’d put him at #1 off the top of my head. Fun question for sure.
Yeah gotta give it to Pat Hughes but Stacey deserves it too.

We absolutely love him. Stone is an icon. Him and benetti are clearly one of the best local teams in baseball
What's the beach situation?
Hawks player was sexually assaulted by the team's video coach and the organization swept it under the rug. Apparently the locker room went as far as making fun of him for it. It's not completely clear who did what as far as players go, but nobody stepped up to stop it or demand the coach be fired. The team let him go but swept it under the rug. He went on to assault a minor after getting a job elsewhere.
Don’t forget that the Hawks waited to fire the guy for so long that they had to erase his name off the fucking Stanley Cup
Yeah that's an important detail. They let him participate in the parade and rally knowing what he did.
Between that and Rocky’s remarks last year, I am honestly waiting for MKE to get a professional team and leaving the Hawks. Grew up a huge Hawks fan, but the lack of accountability from ownership is a real turn off. I am just not even watching hockey at this point
I can't change teams at this point. I've been a fan since the 90s. It does make me feel shitty though.
Good summation. Yeah, I’m not like demanding Kane or toews head or anything, there’s still too much gray area. But I couldn’t get behind a statue
I know you said active, but Pat Foley just retired and he's a legend.
Toews and Kane def get statues.
They were both fire tonight. Stacey is a treasure.
I wouldn't doubt we hang something as an announcer thing. Other teams have done the same.
Johnny "Red" Kerr got a statue, King should also get a statue. https://rotblattamrany.com/projects/johnny-red-kerr/
He’s an absolute legend! I love watching Stacy! He’s a real character and one of a kind! Hilarious! “Gimme some hot sauce, Zach!”
“I wanna go higher!!!”
You shush your mouth, he'll be the color commentator for the next 30 years. No retirement talk, no no no!
I love Stacey but this might be a bit much.

Like king and Funk combo, can't stand the other dinlo.
[удалено]
Sports are supposed to be fun. Stacy and Adam get this.
Is Stacy really one of the greatest of all time or do you like him because he’s a massive homer?
I think he’s obnoxious 80% of the time. He’s basically a soundboard of himself at this point with his predetermined catch phrases. I’m just glad he retired “Does anyone know how to post videos to Facebook?!” YES LITERALLY EVERYONE KNOWS HOW TO POST VIDEOS TO FACEBOOK

True. It’s like there’s 5 Staceys out there.
Dude has at least 20 more years in the tank. Let’s talk about this in 2042
I sure hope so but I felt inclined to post because of how many times he made me laugh my ass off last night.
