16h agoFamed basketball announcer and New Jersey native
Dick Vitale has been diagnosed with lymphoma.
It’s the second time in just a few months the
broadcaster has been diagnosed with a form of cancer.
In August, Vitale announced
he had several surgeries to get rid of melanoma.
Doctors don't believe the lymphoma is
related. They say there is a 90% cure rate for the type of lymphoma he has.
Vitale grew up in Garfield and coached basketball in
New Jersey. He was also an assistant coach at Rutgers University.
Vitale has been with ESPN since just after
the network launched in 1979. He was inducted into the basketball hall of fame
in 2008.
