If there’s one thing that has been crystallized since the sad news of Muhammad Ali’s passing, it’s that the man known as “The Greatest” had a profound impact on millions of people, worldwide.
That impact is certainly felt across ESPN as Ali pictures, mementos and paraphernalia dot company buildings all across the country and the world. The gallery above contains a small sampling of Ali’s influence and visibility at ESPN.
ESPN plans full coverage of Ali’s Friday funeral in Louisville and Front Row will have complete details on that programming tomorrow.
