Boo-Yah: A Portrait of Stuart Scott, the latest installment of ESPN’s Emmy Award-winning 30 for 30 documentary series, takes an intimate look at the life and legacy of Stuart Scott — the trailblazing SportsCenter anchor whose words, wit and authenticity transformed the way sports stories are told.The film traces Stuart’s journey from local television in North Carolina to becoming one of ESPN’s most influential voices. At a time when hip-hop culture was often marginalized in mainstream media and few Black anchors held national prominence, Stuart brought both to SportsCenter — blending sharp analysis, pop culture and swagger in a way that spoke directly to a new generation of fans.Stuart’s impact extended far beyond the newsroom. He bridged sports and culture, made SportsCenter must-watch television and became a symbol of courage through his public battle with cancer — culminating in his unforgettable ESPYs speech that reminded viewers, “You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and the manner in which you live.”
