Watch the unforgettable Stuart Scott and Jimmy V speeches from the ESPYS
Posted Jul 15, 2015
The 2014 ESPYs were marked by a stunningly beautiful and inspiring speech from Stuart Scott when he received the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance at a ceremony he attended only days after what was one of many hospital stays that he endured in his lengthy battle against cancer....The award was named for Jimmy Valvano, who gave another one of the most memorable speeches that will likely ever happen at the ESPYs.
