It was a blessing to get the opportunity to have cold beverages with Craig Sager a few times over the course of more than 25 years covering the NBA.
One thing about the man in the colorful suits who worked so wonderfully and faithfully for TNT all these years: He was the best host you could ask for.
After thousands of late nights on the road, most of them blend into the scenery, never to be completely remembered and waiting to be erased by another night. However, I remember very fondly one winter evening in Atlanta years ago when I ran into Craig at a spot both of us used to frequent.
