NBA coverage will never be the same. After a long bout with cancer, Craig Sager has passed away at the age of 65. His battle had been well-document, and he courage was admirable. Despite going through treatment, Sager still got up to make it to work. And viewers of his work appreciated that. He redefined sideline reporting and was embraced by players and coaches alike. Even Gregg Popovich.
You will be missed, Craig. Rest peacefully.
