The college basketball world has watched Vital fight vocal cord cancer, and now, one of the greatest advocates in the fight against cancer will be doing what he loves once again.

Before we get to Vitale's triumphant return on Saturday, let's take a look back at some of his greatest calls.

Vitale is awesome with a capital A, and his return on Saturday will be celebrated by all who love college basketball.

The legendary broadcaster will get to break out one of his iconic catchphrases in 'Diaper Dandy' when he gets to watch potential number one overall pick Cooper Flagg play on Saturday.
