ESPN Basketball Analyst Dick Vitale Announces He Is Cancer-Free Again


ESPN college basketball icon Dick Vitale announced he is cancer-free after undergoing treatment for throat cancer

“SANTA CLAUS came early as Dr Rick Brown called & said that my PET SCAN at 7 AM came back CLEAN OF CANCER !” Vitale wrote. Vitale — known for his overwhelming enthusiasm for college basketball and his signature sayings like “awesome, baby” and “diaper dandy” — underwent surgery over the summer after a biopsy of a lymph node in his neck showed he had cancer. Fans won’t be surprised to know the men’s college basketball community has rallied around Vitale, who has spent his 40-plus-year broadcasting career raising money and awareness in the battle against cancer.
