Last Thursday, legendary sideline reporter for the NBA, Craig Sager, passed away at 65 after a long-fought battle with leukemia. The last time many of us saw the recently inducted Broadcasting Hall of Famer was at the ESPYs, where he delivered an inspirational speech for winning the prestigious Jimmy V Perseverance Award.
