While Jim Boylen was addressing the media about Day 2 of training camp on Wednesday, an institution was walking away from his job with the Bulls.
After almost 30 years of announcing Bulls basketball, the team announced that TV play-by-play legend Neil Funk will retire at the end of the 2019-20 season.
“After 43 years calling NBA games, 28 of those with the Chicago Bulls, it is time to step aside,’’ Funk said in a statement. “I want to give a special thanks to Jerry and Michael Reinsdorf for allowing me and my family to be a part of the best franchise in sports.
