He affected so many people during his short time on this Earth.
ESPN host Stuart Scott recently passed away after a longtime bout with cancer and many celebrities who were inspired by Scott took to the internet world to tweet out their messages of support for Scott and his grieving family.
Some of the celebrities who wrote some inspiring stuff included LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Tiger Woods!
Here's what LeBron wrote:
"Can't believe you're gone from us! I am deeply saddened because not only will not be replaced as a anchor or reporter but more than that as a genuine cool person. What u did for our culture, bringing that Swag to reporting can only be copied(which I hear it today on tv watching sports). I would say not because they stealing your swag, it's all out of RESPECT! It was always a breath of fresh fun air when u would show up and we'd chat up. Thank you so much for being u and giving us inner city kids someone we could relate to that wasn't a player but was close enough to them.#RIPStuartScott #FuqCancer#GoneButSurelyNotForgotten"
Here's what Kobe wrote:
"#StuartScottSayings changed the game #BOOYAH #donthatetheplayerhatethegame R.I.P to a sportscasting Legend"
Here's what Tiger wrote:
"Stuart wasn't covering heroes & champions, it was the other way around. Thinking of my friend & his daughters."
Here's what Blake Griffin wrote:

Obviously that was just a small sample of the celebrities who paid respects Stuart Scott - there were many, many more inspirational messages out there!
It's clear the loss of Stuart Scott has affected a whole mess of people from folks who grew up with him to people who worked alongside him to players who Stuart covered on his show.
We have to agree with LeBron on this one - F cancer!
