The sports community suffered a devastating loss on Thursday when legendary broadcaster Craig Sager lost his battle with cancer. Sager, most known for his colorful and vibrant suits, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2014. He valiantly battled the illness even coming back to work while it ravaged his body. He unfortunately was taken at 65 years old, but he will never be forgotten. Yesterday the NBA community paid tribute to its favorite sideline reporter.
