Craig Sager, the longtime NBA sideline reporter known for his colorful suits and infectious personality, died Thursday at age 65 after a lengthy bout with cancer.
An outpouring of love for Sager ensued on social media shortly after the news broke. Sager’s son, Craig Jr., added to the emotional tributes by posting a photo montage featuring family memories.
"Time is simply how you live your life" 🙏We packed a lifetime and then some into these 28 years together. Pay it forward time! #SagerStrong pic.twitter.com/aEiDb2n0Ki

Sager was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in 2014. His passion, enthusiasm and optimism never wavered, though, even as his health declined.
Sager certainly will be missed.
