CHICAGO BULLS COLOUR commentator Stacey King is a cult hero in America and rightly so. Think of a cross between the quick wit of Michael O Muircheartaigh, the passion of Timmy “Boomshakalaka” McCarthy, and the cringeworthy over-exuberance of a Gary Neville goalgasm.

(Don’t believe us? King has a soundboard all of his own, featuring gems like “Gimme a little bit more hot sauce Kyle” and “Get on the Booz Cruise, Chicago.”)

There’s no better man to commentate on late basketball drama so when Marco Belinelli stuck the winning layup with seconds left against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, King couldn’t contain himself.

“I like my meatballs spicy” is quite simply the best piece of commentary you will hear today.
