The duo also released a letter to their father that reads, in part:

You lived your life with a fierce sense of authenticity, passion and competitiveness, giving it your all and reaching for the best in everything you did. When you were diagnosed with cancer, you showed the world how to fight with that same fierce passion, instilling a sense of hope and inspiration to so many. And in the end you taught us all how to win – live or die – by how you live, why you live and the manner in which you live.

Scott died at the age of 49 after fighting cancer since 2007. He became an ESPN legend for his iconic phrases while hosting “SportsCenter.”
