The Chicago Bulls pulled off a thrilling win against the Philadelphia 76ers — but instead of Nikola Vucevic’s clutch three-pointer sending the NBA fans into a frenzy, it was Stacey King’s commentary that had fans losing it.
With just seven seconds left, Josh Giddey found Vucevic open in the corner. The big man rose up, drained the triple, and gave Chicago its first lead of the night — and the win — with three seconds remaining.
The United Center erupted, and so did the Bulls’ broadcast booth. Stacey King, never one to hold back, unleashed an all-time call.
“ELIZABETH, I’M COMING AGAIN ELIZABETH, OH LAWD, UGHH!” King shouted as the shot fell.
Fans immediately jumped online to relive the moment — and they weren’t just talking about the shot.
One fan said, “Elizabeth better be a dimepiece.”

Another wrote, “@Stacey21King is a LEGEND in these parts.”
A third added, “amazing. i wish more commentators would let loose and not be afraid of saying some wild shit lol you really can’t lose in the situation. the craziness of a game winner anything you say is just gonna sound awesome lol.”
King’s call was a throwback to the classic 1970s sitcom Sanford and Son, where the main character would yell for “Elizabeth,” his late wife, whenever he thought he was having a heart attack. After a rollercoaster finish like that, Bulls fans could probably relate.
For a game that looked lost for most of the night, the Bulls somehow flipped it at the end. Giddey was electric once again with 29 points, 15 rebounds, and 12 assists, while Vucevic finished with 19 points and 10 assists — plus the dagger that sealed it.

Another said, “Beautiful game winner by Vucevic. Perfect pass by Giddey to set up Vooch.”
A third added, “VOOCH WITH THE GAME ON THE LINE,” pairing it with a Michael Jordan montage of clutch moments.
Between King’s wild call and Vucevic’s ice-cold finish, the Bulls’ win had everything — drama, memes, nostalgia, and a reminder that even early-season basketball can still hit like a classic.
