Greatest Speech Ever?
 

This speech transcends sports! Touching and funny!

Jimmy Valvano gave a speech when he received the Arthur Ashe Courage Award when he was dying of cancer.

It is very uplifting and considered ESPN's finest moment.

Please watch to the end.

OP, thanks for posting Jimmy V's speech. Inspiring is an understatement. Cancer touches all of us one way or another. Oh, for a real cure for this and other dreadful diseases such as ALS.

Thanks for posting this 2BNTV as I have lost a few family members to cancer of some kind or another. And some of the other members have battled with it over the years.

I would guess pretty much every member of TOTV has family members who have died from cancer or who have fought this dreaded disease.

We lived in NC at the time and were BIG Valvano fans.....He was so entertaining.....
We hated when NC State and UNC played together because we didn't know who to root for!
