King shares vivid, untold stories from the locker room, including the overwhelming fan adoration Jordan received—fans waiting at hotels, lying on the ground to get a photo, and the sheer cultural impact of playing alongside a global icon. He discusses the Bulls' current rebuild under Billy Donovan, emphasizing the need for defensive two-guards, rim protectors, and shooters to complement Josh Giddey.
