From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Craig Sager (born in Batavia, Illinois), is currently a journalist for TNT. Before working for CBS, he worked in Kansas City, Missouri for KMBC, as well as WINK in Fort Myers, Florida, WTSB in St. Petersburg, Florida, and WXLT in Sarasota, Florida.
Sager normally works as a sideline reporter for The NBA on TNT. Previously, he has worked at CNN and TBS for the Goodwill Games, Pan American Games, and 1990 World Cup. In 1999, Sager served as a field reporter for NBC's coverage of the National League Championship Series and World Series.
Sager is also known for his rather unique clothing style. He commonly wears velvet suits, pink ties, or red jackets on the sidelines.
Sager is graduate of Northwestern University. While at the school, he was Willie the Wildcat, the mascot at the school.
Sager was admonished by Indiana Pacer forward, Reggie Miller, for prematurely reporting Miller's impending retirement from the game of basketball. In fact, Sager was correct on this matter and Miller did retire that year.
