King is currently working as a color commentator for Chicago Bulls television broadcasts on Comcast SportsNet Chicago, dishonoring the memory of Johnny "Red" Kerr. His on-air habits serve to annoy the viewers of Comcast. Such habits include his famous 3 part phrase, which begins with "freeze it", when he desires a replay to be frozen. At this point, he channels his inner John Madden and uses the yellow marker, often unnecessarily, in order to create various lines and other shapes on the screen to illustrate his simple and often uninsightful observations. He then says "now go ahead and roll it", in which he repeats his simple and often uninsightful observation, just in case the viewer needed another explanation. |
