In case you missed it on Christmas day TNT did a tribute to Craig. He should be back by Feb if things go well. Which is nice to hear. Very class moves on the part of Greg Pop.

Did anyone see the horrible suit that Spencer Hawes was wearing the other night? It made me think of Sager; however, that suit that Hawes was wearing would make any of Sager's suit look boring and normal.

Sager is best-known for his having worked as a sideline reporter who paced the floors of the National Basketball Association, as he invariably sported a specimen from his vast collection of preposterously garish jackets and suits. He was a 2016 inductee of the Sports Broadcasting Hall of Fame.[1]

The NBA's special tribute to Craig Sager showcased the league's best values


After the 3-Point Contest, NBA All-Star Saturday night took an unexpected turn. Reggie Miller stepped into the middle of the court after Eric Gordon’s victory and began inviting players and celebrities alike to shoot three-pointers to support the Sager Strong Foundation.

Each made shot saw $10,000 donated to the cause. After that, Ernie Johnson asked Stephen Curry to make a shot from halfcourt to take the total amount from $130,000 to $500,000. (When he failed, Johnson called on Craig Sager’s son to finish the job.)

It was a wonderful impromptu moment that exemplified why the NBA thrives beyond the on-court product. The league celebrates its people unabashedly, embracing their abilities and personalities like no other.
