@ComplexSports Why he'd the best commentator in the game rn.
"Imitation is the greatest form of flattery," is what another Twitter user wrote.

@ComplexSports This shit was funny asl
Some fans, however, didn't think that Stacey King sounded like Sharpe. They believe that the Bulls commentator sounded more like Booker T, a former professional wrestler.
@OBrianHargrave @Stacey21King @chicagobulls Lol, he sounds more like Booker T than Shannon Sharpe 😂
Lakers fans weren't too happy about King's impersonation. Considering that their team lost a very important game, this is not surprising.
