Bulls Announcer Stacey King Has Fans Cracking Up With ‘Sanford and Son’ Shoutout

Chicago Bulls' color commentator Stacey King, renowned for his exuberant and unpredictable commentary, sparked a viral sensation on Tuesday night following his animated reaction to Nikola Vučević’s game-winning shot. The ecstatic call, which marked a thrilling finish to a remarkable 24-point second-half comeback against the Philadelphia 76ers, was misinterpreted by some younger fans as scandalous. As Vučević’s decisive three-pointer swished through the net, King dramatically exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! Elizabeth! I’m coming again, Elizabeth! Oh lord! Oh! Oh! It’s the big one, Elizabeth! The cardiac Bulls, again!” Unfamiliar with the classic ’70s sitcom "Sanford and Son," some viewers were confused by King’s tantalizing phrases, which reference the main character, Fred Sanford, who often feigned heart attacks. Later, King addressed the misunderstanding on social media, further igniting online conversations, as fans of all ages celebrated his nostalgic humor during the Bulls' remarkable 6-1 start.
