Big name back in the day. RIP Greg.

 

[Passepartout]

Really came totally out of left field and looked at pictures as he didn't look really good and looked not so well when they spoke of him tonight. Cancer is a pain in the a*s! RIP Greg and prayers and thoughts with you and your family.

The news that Greg Gumbel has passed is just heartbreaking. Was an honor to share the March Madness desk with him. A pro’s pro and a gentleman of the highest order.

I remember the first time I saw him on tv...I was looking the other way when they named the announcers and I was like, "Greg? Wudafuq is Greg? I thought dudes name is Bryant?"
Turns out, it wasn't the same dude....

Highly effective, yet highly underrated broadcaster. I never understood why he wasn’t more highly regarded.
