ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Sports Emmys in New York on Monday, and the 80-year-old broadcaster doesn't have plans to slow down any time soon.
“I want to walk on the court at 100 years old, the first broadcaster ever to sit there and say, ‘You’re awesome, baby,’” Vitale told The New York Post's Andrew Marchand.
Vitale has been with ESPN since the network was founded in 1979. The Passaic, N.J. native is now synonymous with ESPN, on-call for some of college basketball's top contests each season.
