Clemson, S.C. (AP) - In a heartwarming return to the spotlight, ESPN's Dick Vitale received a warm welcome at Clemson's Littlejohn Coliseum as he made his comeback as a commentator after battling cancer for the fourth time. The 85-year-old Vitale, who had not called a game for ESPN in two years, was met with a standing ovation from the crowd as he entered the arena to call the Clemson-Duke game.
Before the game began, Vitale was greeted with cheers and applause as he made his way to his courtside seat. The PA announcer added to the excitement by delivering a spirited 'Dickie V, you're awesome, baby!' impersonation, further igniting the crowd's enthusiasm.
