More than 17 years ago, Jim Valvano gave one of the most indelible speeches in sports history at the inaugural ESPY Awards in March, 1993. Valvano, who was in the final stages of his fight with bone cancer, was 10 years removed from coaching North Carolina State during their memorable NCAA Championship run, but remained one of college basketball's most beloved personalities. Less than two months later, however, Valvano lost his fight.

ESPN has since been instrumental in propagating the V Foundation, which funds cancer research. This week is Jimmy V Week across the ESPN platform, and each ESPN station will be rebroadcasting Valvano's emotional speech Wednesday night at 7.
