“I could shoot in college, it just wasn’t my role. I’m sure you guys watch CBB. We ran the Carolina break.

“I’m glad I didn’t shoot in college, because if I did, I wouldn’t be here. I don’t think I’d be a Bull.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about Stacy King over the last 24 hours, and one quote keeps coming to mind. It’s one Dave Dameshek has used for years:

“The measure of a man is how he treats people who can do him absolutely no good.”

A lot of people are great to their employees, coworkers, family members, and others who have some impact on their lives or financial well-being. But when it comes to the everyday people—the fans, the cab drivers, the beat writers, the interns, the random people who stop them in public—they can be complete jerks.

Stacy King wasn’t one of those people.

By all accounts, he treated people who could do absolutely nothing for him with kindness, respect, and genuine warmth. He took pictures. He smiled. He made people feel important. For a minute or two, he made them feel like they were the center of his universe.

That’s a far greater accomplishment than most people realize.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Stacy in person, but I do remember one night when my phone absolutely exploded. I got dozens of texts and DMs telling me that Stacy had mentioned me on the Bulls broadcast. A guy I’d never met, who certainly didn’t owe me anything, took a moment to recognize my generally positive calls w/ @WaddleandSilvy.

I was stunned.

Every single person I’ve ever known who met Stacy has told the same story: he was gracious, generous with his time, and made them feel valued.

And beyond the person he was, Stacy was a huge part of the Bulls experience for an entire generation of fans.

He was entertaining. He was funny. He was memorable.

Even when I disagreed with him—as I often did with his desire to get the ball to Vooch in the post—he always made the broadcast better. He made games more enjoyable. His calls, catchphrases, enthusiasm, and personality became part of the soundtrack of our lives as Bulls fans.

He gave us countless great memories and unforgettable moments.

Stacy King made my life, and the lives of so many Bulls fans, a little more enjoyable. That’s a remarkable legacy.

His calls will never be forgotten. And neither will he.

What a class act. What a genuinely good man. RIP Stacey.

Victor Wembanyama on the environment:

“I care a lot about it, and I feel a certain guilt about polluting so much as someone who flies 41 times a season. But I want to have an impact, and I want to counteract this negative carbon footprint through whatever impact I can, financially or socially, I want to have an impact for the future... Investing, yes, but not for profit.”

Neguse: Where is this company headquartered?

Noem: I don’t know.

Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out.

You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?
