In the world of the NBA, it’s hard to stand out if you aren’t a player or head coach. Even then it can be difficult to stand out among the biggest names. But Craig Sager did just that; he stood out. And then some. With his blindingly bright suits and even brighter personality, Sager lifted the spirits of so many people in so many ways. For a sideline reporter like Sager to stand out in the NBA (and far beyond it) as he did over so many years speaks volumes about how special his character was, how great he was at his job, and how much he was loved.
