People from around the sports world have been digging through the back of their closets to honor Craig Sager. 

After Sager’s death on Thursday, NBA players warmed up in Sager-themed shooting shirts, while Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek and Warriors coach Steve Kerr wore ties made of the same material as the suit Sager wore to the ESPYs. 

On Sunday, the crew from NFL Network’s pregame show also paid tribute to Sager. Former players Marshall Faulk, Kurt Warner and Michael Irvin put together their loudest outfits as a nod to their colleague.

It’s a nice gesture but Sager would have at least had the sense not wear white after Labor Day, unlike Irvin.
