An emotional moment in college basketball as Dick Vitale reflects on his journey battling cancer during the ACC championship. 🥺⁣
•⁣
After four battles in just over three years, Vitale, an 85-year-old ESPN college basketball analyst who was declared cancer-free in December, teared up while sharing his gratitude for the support he's received. 🥹⁣
•⁣
"It's a miracle to sit here with you guys," Vitale said, sitting between his ESPN colleagues Dave O’Brien and Cory Alexander. "I can't tell you how much you've meant to me. It's been unbelievable. A tough three years, those four cancer battles." ⁣
•⁣
It’s been a tough road, but Vitale’s energy remains unwavering. His passion for the game and dedication to cancer research continue to inspire. We’re cheering for you, Dickie V! 💙 #thegist⁣
