Hannah Storm fighting back the tears while reporting on her ESPN colleague, Stuart Scott’s death on Sunday.

Scott, 49, died after a long and hard fought battle with cancer.

Scott spent the last 21 years on the air for ESPN, and his anchoring included coverage NFL, NBA and MLB games. His first diagnosis of stomach cancer came in November 2007, after he felt ill during a broadcast of “Monday Night Football.” h/t kfor

ESPN said Scott “went through several surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation and clinical trials to stay strong and ward off cancer for as long as humanly possible.”
