On December 15, 2016 longtime Turner Sports sideline reporter Craig Sager died at the age of 65. Days after being inducted into the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame, Sager lost his battle to acute myeloid leukemia after a three year fight. He fought hard, having three bone marrow and stem cell transplants in a span of three years. Sager was honored this past year at the 2016 ESPYS, accepting the Jimmy V Perseverance Award saying, "I will continue to keep fighting sucking the marrow out of life as life sucks the marrow out of me".
Craig Sager was loved, adored and respected throughout the Sports World. Whether it be other reporters, players or coaches, everyone was not only was willing but wanting to answer Craig Sager's questions. Sager become known for his colorful and unique suits that he wore each and every time we would see him on camera. Craig claimed in his speech at the ESPYS, "I will live my life full of love and full of fun. It's the only way I know how.", which is why one of the the best ways to honor him would be to bring back some of the notable outfits we've seen Craig in over the years that represented the joy he brought to sports.
Craig Sager's love of life, fun attitude and lively interviews will be missed. He was one of a kind and the Sports World is better for him having been a part of it.
