Before tonight’s Miami Heat vs. Chicago Bulls game at AmericanAirlines Arena, the Heat organization put together a montage dedicated to Craig Sager and recognized him on the court.
The video consisted of memorable clips from his career on the sidelines during NBA games (mainly during his tenure visiting the Heat), with plenty of notable NBA players across the years commenting and loving his fashion sense. It was touching, especially with the clip being shown over Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight.”
As you may have already heard, Craig’s leukemia is no longer in remission and he is currently facing another uphill battle trying to combat the disease. Over the past weeks, sideline reporters in the league and in sports have been paying homage to Sager, wearing eccentric suits like him to encourage him and send positive energy his way.
We hope the best for Craig. Get well soon.
