You know every year during Jimmy V week on ESPN I usually catch the Jim Valvano speech he gave at the Espy's. I never get tired of hearing that speech and it has to be one of the greatest ever given in history. My eyes Well up at the end every time.
For those of you that have never heard it, which I doubt, Google it and listen, it's worth the time. He was a hell of a guy.
You ain't kidding man. Been awhile since I listened too it. Seen a clip with Dickie V. talking about J.V. and he was crying while remembering the man.

Ya know Vitale irritates alot people including me sometimes but I really kinda like the guy. He's big hearted and anybody that is that passionate about what they do is alright with me.
I heard Vital talk to a group of College kids and his speech ranked right there with Jimmy V.
He was so passionate and warned the kids of all the pitfall that they would encounter and how they neded to get an education and take advantage of the opportunities that they were given with there god given talents. I would like to hear it agian.
Here is Jim Valvano's speech from the ESPY awards it is emotional.
