Craig Sager’s history of playful banter between broadcaster and Coach, helped make Sager and Popovich household names. Now that Sager has sadly passed on,Greg Popovich reflected on what losing Craig Sager meant to him and the NBA.
Sager seemed to be one of the few broadcasters that could get a smile out of Popovich during sideline interviews, and their relationship became famous on its own. Popovich’s thoughts on Sager were spot on. His courage was exemplary in the face of numerous health challenges, and he will be missed dearly by the sports community.
