Craig Sager Emotional Jimmy V Perseverance Award Speech

“When Doctors tell you, ‘You have three weeks to live.’ You try to live a lifetime of moments in three weeks.

Or just say, ‘What the hell with three weeks.’ When Doctors tell you that you're only hope at survival is fourteen straight days of intense chemo therapy, 24 hours a day. Do you sit there and countdown the three hundred thirty-six hours or do you see each day as a blessing?

Time is something that cannot be bought. It cannot be wagered with God and it is not an endless supply. Time is simply, how you live your life.

I am not an expert on time or on cancer or on life itself, I am a kid from the small Illinois town of Batavia, who grew up on the Chicago Cubs and made sports his life’s work.”
