ESPN's NBA Finals Tribute to Stuart Scott Will Melt Your Heart

Posted Jun 5, 2015

The colorful ESPN personality had a relationship with the players that is difficult to replicate. ESPN aired a tribute to the fallen anchor during halftime, and it's easy to see why Scott is sorely missed. (Athlon Sports)
