According to NBA Insider Shams Charania:
Stacey King has passed away at 59 years old. A three-time NBA champion with the Chicago Bulls across eight NBA seasons after being the No. 6 pick in the 1989 draft, and a beloved broadcaster for the team in his post-playing career.
After a standout career at the University of Oklahoma, King was selected by the Bulls with the sixth overall pick in the 1989 NBA draft. Prior to draft night, it was expected that he would be the number one pick, but he unexpectedly fell.
The Bulls selected him as one of three first-round picks in that draft (the other two were B.J. Armstrong and Jeff Sanders). His career in Chicago lasted four and a half seasons before he was traded for 7’2″ Australian-born center Luc Longley during the 1993–94 season.
