Jesus, I hope Sean P isn't that stupid to believe that's real.

Anyway, J.A. Adande wrote a nice tribute column: http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12119321/nba-greatness-stuart-scott

Whitlock chimed in, as well:

What I respected the most about Stuart Scott is how courageously he lived. He battled the cancer that ended his life as courageously as he battled the critics who failed to warm to his hip-hop-influenced broadcast style.

It takes courage and conviction to be different inside a large corporation. Stuart Scott didn't want to sound like everyone else on television. He didn't want to appeal to the same audience. He wanted to be unique, a voice for a generation marching to its own beat. Mission accomplished.

"Stuart Scott was our Howard Cosell," tweeted DJ Scratch of EPMD fame.

That is the perfect summary of Stuart Scott. He was polarizing, authentic, must-see, fun, passionate and supremely talented.

His legacy and impact at ESPN are best defined in rap terms. Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann were the Beastie Boys. They were the white kids given the original License to Ill. Stuart Scott was Rakim, the black microphone fiend paid in full to move the crowd.

No disrespect to Chris Berman, Patrick, Olbermann, Mike Tirico, Linda Cohn and all the rest, but Stu is the greatest MC to hold the mic at the Worldwide Leader. He never sweated the technique. He's the leader young broadcasters follow.

Stu Scott ain't no joke. He used to let the mic smoke. He slammed it, he's done, and he made sure it's broke.
