Remember Stuart Scott With His Amazing ESPYs Speech
Posted Jul 20, 2017
Stuart Scott delivered one of the most emotional speeches in ESPYs history when he accepted the Jimmy V Perseverance Award in 2014. The late ESPN host’s cancer relapsed shortly after, and he passed away just six months later. July 19, 2017 would have been Scott’s 52nd birthday. Scott never sought to have the diagnosis run his life, wanting to live life as best he could.
