Never heard the phrase "lost his battle with cancer" used more appropriately.

[Budkin]

Fuck Cancer. RIP Sager. :-(

[George Gervin's Afro]

How appropriate (if you can say that) this happened on a Thursday....now he can be honored during the TNT broadcast...

[Thunder1]

He'll be missed..

[loveforthegame]

RIP Craig Sager. You'll be missed. The sidelines won't be the same.

[TheGreatYacht]

Can't even imagine what Pop will say tonight :depressed

He kept in touch with Craig and his family. RIP

[baseline bum]

RIP Craig. There will never be another like him. Man I have loved watching Mr Sager since the days when he wore normal suits on TBS.

The NBA lost one of its legends today :depressed

[boutons_deux]

A good-faith, goodwill, good humor Guy who was a colorful, entertaining difference in sports reporting. RIP

[MaNu4Tres]

RIP to an incredible human being. His fight with cancer the past two years and outlook on life was inspiring to follow. God bless him and his family.

Was fortunate enough to have had a 10 minute conversation with him 3 years ago at XS in Las Vegas about an hour after they opened their doors. He was by himself by the bar drinking a bud light checking out young tail :lol. Never in a million years did I think he'd be so open to a conversation with a fan. An amazing human being who loved the Spurs. He'll be missed by many.

RIP Craig

[will_spurs]

He definitely brought a touch of humanity and good-natured fun to the NBA. His interactions with Pop were legendary (including the itw between Pop and his son, and the itw when he came back to the NBA).

RIP Mr Sager.

RIP

[EVAY]

RIP Craig. Condolences to his family. Whether eexpected or sudden, the loss of an intimiate loved one is intense.

[GSH]

He was fun to watch. One of the few sportscasters that you can enjoy, instead of just enduring.

I really thought he had beaten the cancer. He must have still been really sick, and just came back to do what he loved until the end. I'll miss seeing him.

[Vito Corleone]

RIP Craig, you are good people.

Looked up some of the people we lost in 2016. Wow, I had no idea we also lost Florence Henderson AKA Carol Brady, the ultimate MILF from my youth.

Damn RIP. I was actually surprised he lasted as long as he did. A big loss to the NBA for sure. Was always one of the more genuine and likeable personalities in the league.

Russell who?

Russell who? Leon

Leon

Who's Russell Leon?

[spurs10]

Who's Russell Leon? A musical giant to a dyslexic.

A musical giant to a dyslexic.

Is he better than Pee Pee the Kidnapper?

[spurs10]

Is he better than Pee Pee the Kidnapper? Probably, but I am not well versed in the life and work of Pee Pee. He has a memorable name though! :lol

[SpursforSix]

Probably, but I am not well versed in the life and work of Pee Pee. He has a memorable name though! :lol

I've got books in these things. The Mount Rushmore of Blues? Sure. We have...Blind Saltlick Magoo, Two Hands Willie Phister, Peter Smelltucket, and...Pee Pee the Kidnapper. No Russell Leon.

[spurs10]

I've got books in these things. The Mount Rushmore of Blues? Sure. We have...Blind Saltlick Magoo, Two Hands Willie Phister, Peter Smelltucket, and...Pee Pee the Kidnapper. No Russell Leon. Well I've never heard of any of those guys and I've heard 'em all. Seriously speaking, the loss of Leon Russell was a great one to the world of music. This thread is supposed to be about Craig Sager and people just started talking about how many significant losses we've had this year- mostly people have been mentioning musicians.

I think the loss of Craig Sager is a significant loss for basketball as he was such a positive 'face' to the sport. A class act- may he rest in peace.

I just found out by reading this. Thicke just guest starred in the new season of Fuller House. Unbelievable.

RIP both.

That picture is sad.... Fucking cancer

[DMC]

Cancer is a cruel motherfucker. You watch folks erode right in front of you, and you see their struggle for hope and the face they put on to convince others they are keeping the faith, but when the lights go out at night and there they are with their killer, that fear sneaks in and you just hope at some point along that last road that they made some peace with their own demons about life and their own mortality, because it's not just the trials of someone you know, it's foreshadowing what you're in line for if you're not lucky enough to die suddenly.

[HarlemHeat37]

My dog was diagnosed with cancer 6 months ago, it's my only experience with it, fortunately..he hasn't even suffered, yet, so I haven't even had to deal with that part of it..

I can't imagine what it would be like to watch a family member suffer from that type of slow destruction:( Shit is cruel..
