RE: Great Speeches...

Jim Valvano - '93 ESPY Awards "Goodbye" Speech...



Came across this while i was searching for Al Pacinos "Inches" speech from "Any Given Sunday"... I had heard about Jim Valvano's final speech (two months before his passing) at the 93 ESPYs but never saw it til today...

Quick background - 83 NCAA Championship coach and one of the most respected/loved figures in NCAA basketball til his untimely death from cancer in 1993...

A witty, poignant, and dignified last goodbye... That still rings true whether or not you know who he was -

For the inches speech - If you go to the SA Country website, then go to their newsletter #1 (under secondary menu) - It was put in there about page ?two or 3. If you cant find it re-post and I will forward it to you. Thanks for posting this speech - it was beautiful!
