The Athletic provided live coverage of the highly anticipated 2025 Men’s March Madness Selection Show. The iconic Greg Gumbel, known for his calm demeanor and seamless transitions, was at the forefront of the broadcast. However, an awkward fist bump exchange with Ernie Johnson at a previous event was a moment that Johnson still describes as “so embarrassing.”

Gumbel, who passed away in December at the age of 78, was a beloved figure in the world of sports broadcasting. His presence during the NCAA Tournament was a staple for over a quarter of a century, providing viewers with a sense of comfort and expertise as he guided them through the thrilling upsets and marquee matchups that define March Madness.

While Gumbel’s absence will be deeply felt during this year’s tournament, his legacy lives on through the memories and stories shared by those who knew him best. Described as kind, classy, and surprisingly funny, Gumbel’s ability to handle any situation with grace and adaptability set him apart in the industry.

One of the highlights of Gumbel’s life was the birth of his granddaughter, Riley, in 2012. Despite being a private person, Gumbel never hesitated to share his love for Riley and their special moments together. From dance-offs in the kitchen to introducing her to his favorite Rolling Stones songs, their bond was unbreakable.

As March Madness kicks off this year, Gumbel’s absence leaves a void in the broadcasting world. His daughter, Michelle, reflects on the memories of attending the Final Four with her dad and watching him excel in his element. The legacy of Greg Gumbel continues to inspire and resonate with all those who had the privilege of watching him work his magic on screen.
