President Barack Obama remembered the late Craig Sager on Twitter Friday, sending out a message in honor of the iconic TNT broadcaster.
Sager died Thursday at age 65 after a long battle with leukemia.
The suits said it all – colorful, fun, a little outlandish. That’s what sports should be. Thanks, Craig Sager. We'll all miss you.
— President Obama (@POTUS) December 16, 2016
Sager was beloved across the NBA by players, fans and colleagues alike. Known for his affable personality, constant professionalism and vibrant wardrobe, Sager was a fixture on the sidelines and on TNT’s broadcasts.
