Michael Jordan said Monday he’s “deeply saddened” by the death of former Bulls teammate Stacey King, who died Sunday at 59.
Jordan emphasized King’s role on his first three NBA championship teams with the Bulls (1991-93). King was the No. 6 overall pick in the 1989 NBA draft by Chicago and played eight seasons in the NBA before a long career as a beloved color commentator on Bulls’ television broadcasts.
“I’m deeply saddened to learn of Stacey’s passing,” Jordan said, according to ESPN 1000. “We shared some special years together as teammates, and he was part of a group that helped define an era of Chicago Bulls basketball.”
After his playing and coaching career, King moved to the broadcast booth in 2006, working as a studio analyst for Bulls pregame and postgame shows. He started filling in as a third broadcaster in games late in 2006 and moved to that role permanently in 2007.
