LeBron James, Craig Sager Share Heartwarming Moment After Cavs’ Game 6 Win
Craig Sager was in the house Thursday night in Cleveland, calling the first NBA Finals game of his illustrious broadcasting career thanks to an agreement between TNT and ESPN.
Sager is battling leukemia, and after the Cavaliers took down the Golden State Warriors 115-101 to force a Game 7, Cavs star LeBron James let the longtime sideline reporter know he’s pulling for him.
“First of all, let me ask you a question: How in the hell did you go 30-plus years without getting a Finals game?” James told Sager in a postgame interview. “That don’t make no sense. But I’m happy to see you, man. Much love and respect, and I’m happy we were able to win this in front of these fans. We really appreciate you.”
Game 7 is set for Sunday night.
