Sager patiently waits around for players like the rest of us and not only does he like to tell stories, he's interested in hearing yours.

I won't pretend to "know" Craig Sager but have spent time around and with him. Good guy. Doesn't big time. Has good questions in interviews.

Sad to hear we won't see Craig Sager these playoffs. Wishing him a healthy recovery. His professionalism and hideous suits will be missed.
