Show your love for sideline interviews and support a good cause.

For different reasons, sideline reporter Craig Sager and and Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich are kings of the mid-game interview.

Sager's sovereignty is because of his flamboyant and unpredictable duds. Popovich is revered for his curt, "Get off my lawn"-style responses during these 20-second-long interviews which he's clearly contractually obligated to do.

Now you can sport Pop and Sager's sideline symbiosis with a new lapel pin from Patti Lapel, available for 10 bucks plus shipping. Even better — Patti Lapel will donate 15 percent of the proceeds to leukemia research, the disease which Sager's currently battling.

We just released our newest pin, Craig & Pop, a must have for NBA fans. Our original plan was to release this to kick off the NBA Playoffs, but with the recent news of Craig Sager's battle, we've decided to release it today in support. It is now available at PattiLapel.com for $10, with 15% of proceeds benefitting leukemia research. #SagerStrong
