Craig Sager has passed away due to cancer (myeloid leukemia) at age 65...He was a very entertaining and eccentric reporter who always made fans, players and coaches laugh...
He used to wear suits like he was designing for martians from Neptune or some planet...Very odd looking suits that even pimps wont wear them but he had plenty of those...
ESPN says he was a reporter 1st and sideline superstar 2nd...Fans loved him, he took time to talk to them and take pictures while talking about the NBA...He was truly part of the NBA family...
Tara August, Turner Sports Vice President of Talent Relations, said via text that "He once drove me around the ropes in a golf cart at the PGA Championship and told me the entire of how he fell in love with Stacy on their first date and slept on her couch until she fell in love with him. He always had a story."...
Turner Sports President David Levy said "There will never be another Craig Sager. His incredible talent, tireless work ethic and commitment to his craft took him all over the world covering sports."...
NBA Commissioner, Adam Silver, said "I--along with the entire NBA family--am deeply saddened by the passing of Craig Sager,"...In a statement the commissioner said all NBA games will observe a moment of silence in Sager's memory...NBA will surely miss you Craig Sager.
