Sager Strong Award
Annual award by the National Basketball Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sager Strong Award is an annual award given by the National Basketball Association. It is presented to "an individual who has been a trailblazer while exemplifying courage, faith, compassion, and grace." The award was created in 2017 to honor the longtime NBA sideline reporter Craig Sager (1951–2016), and the recipient receives a replica of the colorful sports coat that Sager wore when accepting the 2016 Jimmy V Award.[1]
