Ernie Johnson Give His Sports Emmy To Stuart Scott's Daughters

Posted May 6, 2015
When SportsCenter host Stuart Scott passed away from cancer in January, it left a void in every sports fan's heart. During the Sports Emmys on Tuesday, the late Scott was up for an award but didn't win. Ernie Johnson, deserving of the award in his own right, did the classiest thing after winning. The NBA on TNT host gave his award to Scott's daughters, Taelor and Sydni. (Athlon Sports)
