During Game 1 of the NBA Finals, ESPN aired a moving tribute to the late Stuart Scott.
The talented sports broadcaster truly was one of kind. This would have been Scott’s 19th consecutive year covering his favorite sporting event — the NBA Finals.
Scott passed away at the age of 49, following a battle with cancer five months ago. His persistently positive attitude and optimistic outlook inspired viewers around the world.
Grab some tissues and watch the touching tribute from Michael Wilbon below.
MVPs, champions & celebrities will be at the NBA Finals. However, one person will be greatly missed, Stuart Scott. http://t.co/vUKCQSy8sZ
