Craig Sager to join ESPN broadcast team for Game 6

Turner Sports reporter Craig Sager will get a chance to work his first NBA Finals, thanks to a unique partnership with ESPN.

Sager, a 34-year Turner veteran and popular TNT sideline reporter known for wearing flashy suits, has continued to work as he faces a recurrence of the leukemia he has been battling for the past few years.

He has never worked an NBA Finals series but will share sideline reporting duties with Doris Burke for Thursday's Game 6 in Cleveland between the Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors (ABC, 9 p.m. ET).

Simply put, that's very cool. That's awesome he's getting an opportunity; still hoping that he beats the odds and the prognosis. Sager Strong.

Yeah to me Craigs colourful look is something I've always enjoyed seeing and it really stood out more in the 90's when I started watching the nba.

Amen to Sager strong!
