CHICAGO _ If Bulls TV analyst Stacey King had been drinking water, NBC Sports Chicago viewers would have been treated to a spit take during Wednesday night's Bulls victory over the Timberwolves.
"Believe it or not, Jim Boylen said (Luke Kornet) reminds him of Robert Horry," sideline reporter Leila Rahimi had said during a break in the action.
Cue King.
"Whaaaaat?!?" King squealed, making no attempt to hide the fact he did not share the Bulls coach's opinion of the big man. "Oh, my goodness! Robert Horry? Robert Horry was a great two-way player. Won rings too. Oh, my goodness!"
Oh, my goodness indeed.
It was great TV.
The Bulls beat the Timberwolves, 117-110. Kornet scored 15 points, grabbed three rebounds and had two assists.
Horry, a seven-time NBA champion, played for the Rockets, Suns, Lakers and Spurs over his 1992-2008 NBA career. At 7-foot-2, Kornet is three inches taller.
