Greg Gumbel was one of those truly special people who achieve great fame and success but never look at other people and see other “levels” Greg loved his family, especially his granddaughter Riley .

Greg had a strong aversion to eggs and a Constanza -like ability to act hilariously annoyed at small things.

Greg Gumbel leaves a legacy that is virtually unparalleled in the sports broadcast business.

"I'll remember Greg as someone who kept my confidence up and my guard down," says Mark Whitaker .

Whitaker: "I hope my life will always be good without Greg in it, but it's not quite as good without him".

Seth Davis is the Editor-in-Chief of Hoops HQ, a new digital media company covering men's and women's college basketball.

Davis is an award-winning writer and broadcaster, and since 2004 has been a host of CBS Sports and Turner Sports’ March Madness NCAA basketball tournament — where he worked alongside Greg Gumbel .
