Jim Valvano's 1993 ESPY Speech
March 3, 1993

 


This occurred 20 years plus 20 days ago, but I could watch this every week. If you have never seen this before, please do watch it. I know those that have seen this just might watch it again right now, it is that special.

Jim was the head basketball coach at North Carolina State from 1980 to 1190, leading the
Wolfpack to the title in 1983 in a thrilling finish. Sadly, he passed away just eight weeks after this speech.

The Poll Results are below and you were either right due to his popularity or somehow you just knew, but it was Brendan O'Reilly of WBNG. (who by the way, will be leaving the sports desk for another position within WBNG after November 30)
