KRT SPORTS STORY SLUGGED: STUARTSCOTT-SPORTSPLUS KRT PHOTOGRAPH BY STEVE FENN/ESPN, INC (KRT101-May 30) ESPN SportsCenter anchor Stuart Scott has a signature hip-hop-meets-highlights style that has given him a huge following among African-American viewers. ”My style is black. It’s who I am,” explains Scott, ”If I’m sitting around watching the game with my boys and say ‘Mike’s about to blow up,’ it’s natural for me. So if it’s natural for me, it must be natural for a lot of people.” (KRT) PL ARR (jak52029) 1998 (COLOR) This photo may be of interest to At-Risk Readers.
