Shortly after word surfaced on Thursday that Craig Sager has passed away, the NBA sideline reporter had his Wikipedia page hacked. But this was not one of the disrespectful or humorous hacks we have grown used to seeing. This was an awesome hack.
For a very brief period, the words “legends never die” were written where Sager’s date of death should have been.
