Welcome to the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast…BIG-Z and the boys got a LOT to talk about today!”Tonight on the True Chicago Sports Fans Podcast, we carry heavy hearts into one of the biggest episodes we've ever recorded. We open with a full, emotional tribute to Chicago Bulls legend and beloved broadcaster Stacey King, who passed away Sunday at just 59 years old after a fall at his home. We break down what he meant as a player on three championship teams alongside Michael Jordan, and celebrate his 20-year broadcasting career — his iconic catchphrases, his legendary calls, and why he belongs in the same conversation as Harry Caray, Ken “Hawk” Harrelson, Pat Foley & Eddie Olczyk, and Jeff Joniak & Tom Thayer. Then we get into the Cubs, the White Sox, and the Bears news that is shaking the entire city of Chicago to its core.
