Stuart Scott Has Been Often Imitated But Never Duplicated

Posted Jan 18, 2025
For most of us, Stuart Scott came into our lives in the mid-90’s on ESPN2. Scott was at WESH, the NBC affiliate in Orlando prior to landing at ESPN. He also had stints in Florence, South Carolina, and Raleigh, North Carolina after graduating from UNC. Those that knew Scott in his early days say it was obvious he was going to be a star in the business. (Barrett Sports Media)
