Default Jimmy V 1993 ESPY award speech.

Is this not the greatest speech of all time? Seriously.

To me, there are three things we all should do every day. We should do this every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.

Great speech, I remember watching the whole thing for the first time when they re-ran it during this past NCAA tourney. Dickie V has new inspiration for his foundation this year with a little girl who recently died of cancer - they had an article on SI a few days ago and they've already raised a good chunk of change this year.

It's up there with the "I have a dream..." speech, imo...

This is the greatest speech i've ever heard. I've thought that for years. I've seen it ~20 times and i always tear up at the end.

It makes me think, makes me laugh, makes me cry. What a speech.

I was never a fan of Jimmy when he was a coach but yeah, that is a great speech. I also get a little misty when I see it also.

Another gem from the speech.
