Sounds like he's in (at least relatively) good spirits. Playoffs won't be the same without him. Leukemia is no joke. Hope he recovers fully and quickly.
@Monroe_SA: Craig Sager, on missing NBA playoffs to battle acute myeloid leukemia; "Too bad, I had some probing questions for Pop."
Get well soon Craig! We'll miss your interviews with Pop.

Stuff like that really puts things in perspective. It's just a game. Get well soon, Craig.
Yeah, hopefully he gets well and chalks up a W against leukemia. Playoffs aren't the same without Sager and his crazy outfits.
Nice guy. A few years back I was early at a game taking pics and he comes out of the tunnel in one of his outrageous suits. He's about 50 feet away and notices me taking photos in his direction and gestures "me?" He heads right over shakes my hand and says "let's do this right!" He takes my camera gives it to my wife and with TNT mic in hand proceeds to conduct a fake interview as my wife snaps away. Cool memory and pics I'll treasure. Get well soon Craig!
this!
get well soon!
Seems like a good guy and all that stuff between him and Pop is just a joke between the two Im sure. I bet those reporters hate doing those dumb ass interviews at the end of quarters. Get well soon Craig.
Craig is good people, even when the cameras aren't rolling. He talks to people, a lot of people, before the games.
Best of luck, Craig. Fight like a Braveheart.
Sager is a great guy from all I know.
Weird sense of style, but great guy.
Get well and get well soon.
Hopefully all goes well with his treatment, I'm going to miss his colorful nature. Get well soon, homie.
AML is a very serious form of leukemia. Chances of recovering are not very good. Lost a gf to AML.
Very cool. You mind sharing the pics?
tosb leukemia has no chance tbh
Get well Craig! Always a joy and will be missed. Hopefully we will enjoy a speedy recover!
5 year mortality rate is 75% for his age segment.

No, they really hate each other.
Pop needs to wear one of those funky suits during one of the games as a tribute to the guy, IMO...
5 year survival rate is 24%. Even lower for his age.
5 year survival rate is 24%. Even lower for his age. My gf was half his age and told she was given 3-5 years. She didn't last that long.
The TV channel (I think TNT) even has a special counter (called "Getting Popped") with the number of words uttered by Pop during the interview. Clearly a joke.
my heart goes out to sager, theres gotta be a tribute of some kind, dude is a key part of the game ime and some respect must be shown.
Its not the size of the dog in the fight...its the size of the fight in the dog. Swing for the fences, Craig and beat that . Pop should visit him and show respect.
