Stage 4 cancer is tough to beat. Best of wishes Dickie V!

I’m 43 and I can remember seeing him on sportscenter frequently as a youth. He’s been doing this a LONG time and no matter what, he is a mainstay and has been a huge face of college basketball.

Lymphoma is rough (as is all cancer). Hoping he has a speedy recovery. I've always loved his voice and energy, even if I didn't agree with some of his takes.

It is rough but could be treatable depending on the type of lymphoma. He has had worse. I hope he makes it, because his attitude about beating cancer is so positive.
