Area 21/Twitter

Craig Sager was a "super dope guy."

That's according to Kevin Garnett and Chris Webber, who had many interactions with the sideline reporter during their playing days.

After Sager passed away Thursday at the age of 65, Garnett and Webber, now broadcasters themselves, reflected on the fan favorite's legacy.

"When I think of him I just think of joy," Webber said on "Area 21."

"I think of smiling. I think of a dude you can have fun with, somebody that had pride but didn't take himself too seriously."

The two recalled some memorable outfits the "fresh" reporter wore, his sense of humor, and tendency to ask the tough questions.

"Can't help but think about him when you think about this league," Webber said.

"We love you, Craig. Forever," Garnett added.
