The Great Stuart Scott Died Today

Stuart Scott of ESPN died today after beating cancer for 7 years. IMO, he was the best Sports Center Anchor, among the many there who were great for so long.

He beat cancer for 7 years without ever slowing down. He's to be admired, for sure. He was a genuinely cool person; in health, in sickness, and now as well.

If you don't know his story, you owe it to yourself to read all about it. This will give you a start.

If you'll read his story, I think you'll see he did.

Memorable Stuart Scott quotes

“I never ask what stage I’m in,” Scott told Sandomir. “I haven’t wanted to know. It won’t change anything to me. All I know is that it would cause more worry and a higher degree of freakout. Stage 1, 2 or 8, it doesn’t matter. I’m trying to fight it the best I can.”

"When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, while you live and the manner in which you live."

The week before he gave this speech, he had liver complications, kidney failure, and had four (4) surgeries.

RIP!

I got game like Stuart, Scott, Fresh out the ESPN shop, and when Sportscenter popping, everything stopping-Lil Wayne-3peat

Stuart was cool when I was younger. I am not that old so I feel like I grew up when he was really in his prime. He made watching re-runs of the same plays I saw the night before entertaining because he fused pop culture references in with his commentary. I started to figure something was up because there was one or two times where I saw someone say they were there in place of stuart scott, but I thought maybe he was just tending to family stuff or something.
