Dynamic Duo: Stacey King and Neil Funk

It doesn't get much better than Stacey King and Neil Funk. These two combine to form the most entertaining commentating duos I have ever heard. Though some may argue they are biased, or perhaps annoying, for Bulls fans like me, they are perfect.

Stacey King reacts to one of his "peeps."

King, the color commentator, was a Bulls player himself. He was selected with the 6th overall pick of the 1989 draft and went on to win 3 championships with the Bulls before being traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He started his broadcasting career as a studio analyst for Comcast. After filling in as a TV commentator for a playoff game in 2006, he was added permanently in 2007. Funk, the play-by-play announcer, started as a radio announcer for the Bulls in 1991 and went on to become the TV announcer in 2008.

 The Dynamic Duo, themselves.

What makes this duo so likable as a Bulls' fan, is that they are fans themselves. Sure, they may be a little biased, but that is what many people like so much about them. They root for the Bulls, just like true fans should. They are such avid fans that it makes them so easy to relate to.

Some people call them obnoxious, but I call those people up tight. Loosen up, if you can't find humor in the commentary of these two individuals, then you have little hope. While Stacey tends to get excited, it is just a normal thing for a fan to do.

Some of my favorite Stacey King sayings are "Too big, too fast, too strong, too good." He says this quite often, usually after reigning MVP, Derrick Rose makes some sort of ridiculous play and scores. Another favorite is "Gimme the hot sauce!" This saying comes after Kyle Korver hits a shot, in most instances, a three. And of course, my all time favorite, "Drive home safely!"

He also coined the popular nickname "White Mamba" for Brian Scalabrine. In case you aren't familiar, Scalabrine is the last player to come off the Bulls' bench, but a fan favorite nonetheless. The name is a derivative of "Black Mamba" used as a nickname for Kobe Bryant, arguably the best player in the league.

Bulls give their best Stacey King impressions.

I'll conclude this post with a gift to each and every one of you. Here is a Stacey King soundboard that should keep you entertained for the next hour or so, I know that's what it did for me.
