The most heart felt speech. I watched it and teared up only to realize a year and a half later I ended up with stage 4 cancer. Thanks scott for your words of encouragement. I am continuing the fight against cancer for you buddy. It's been two years and I am still living.

Don’t write his story. You don’t know what he was thinking. He was a fighter. At no point would he give up. When he said goodbye to his family it was probably in a more intimate setting than an awards ceremony.

I'm positive that he did know his remaining time was short .... which makes it even more remarkable how he was able to make the CROSS-COUNTRY trek to that ESPY presentation. He had JUST been released from the hospital ... maybe TWO days prior (I know someone said how close it was ... it may have been the day before). He may have known that would be his last public appearance.

The day he died I played this. My roommate not being a sports fan didn't know who he was or his story. The video came to an end and my roommate is wiping away tears. It takes her a minute but when she is composed she looks over at me and asks "Why did you just play that?" Without thinking I tell her the truth and bluntly say "oh I've been thinking of this video all day because he died." ...immediate waterworks. I forgot she didn't know the ending to this story.

It’s been nine years and ESPN has never been the same without this man. Stu would always read to us viewers every morning and it was always a joy to listen to. He was a part of our lives and when he passed, it felt like losing a family member. He made SportsCenter the best sports show on TV and it’s not the same without him. Thank you for all the memories Stuart Scott, RIP. ❤

"Have a great rest of your night and a great rest of your life." Gets me every time

A former colleague just won his battle with cancer this morning. These words mean more now than ever.

Dang it man - made it through the whole speech and then when he called his daughter up - got choked up. As a fellow girl dad club member, couldn’t help it. I know how those hugs are. Can’t ever get enough of ‘em. Salute to my fav sports anchor all-time & all-time girl dad. RIP S.S. 🫡

Everything about this clip is what is absent in everything we watch today, and what we miss, truly, deep down within all of us. The humility. The class. The inspiration. The courage. No politics. No agendas. No lecturing. Just pure entertainment and a moral lesson we can all take away. RIP to Stuart Scott, and Keifer, you showing up knowing that 24 was this man’s favorite show, is an example of what all good men should strive to be

It's sad that the recipient of this award passes away shortly after. 😢😢

Rest In Peace Stuart Scott I always liked that guy he was just a likable ESPN sports journalist. He was funny, motivated, knowledgeable, and friendly.

How did 76 people dislike this? He was the definition of grace in the face of adversity

ESPN hasn’t been the same since stu died. His passion and charisma were unmatched. He was literally the soul of ESPN. An amazing commentator but an even better father and human. f*ck cancer.

My generation of ESPN, iconic.

My sister just got diagnosed with breast cancer recently, she’s only 40 and having a really difficult time emotionally and mentally. I came back to this video to get a little inspiration for the upcoming battle our family will be embarking on. Lost my dad to prostate cancer 11 years ago today and then my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks later. Luckily she’s 10 years free now and I know my sister will win as well. But f*ck cancer. We must end this horrible disease.

“Have a great rest of your night, and have a great rest of your life.” Stu knew he wasn’t gonna make it. And he chose to make his final big message 100% positive and inspirational. A man who loved life. Rip Stuart

I pray to God I never have to go through what him or his family did. My leukemia is currently in remission and every once in a while when I need to be reminded to not ever give up I give this wonderful speech a listen and it rejuvenates my drive to keep going. RIP Stuart Scott you inspire so many still.

This is the most emotional encouraging speech in sports history. Stuart Scott had touched the hearts and soul of every person in that audience and millions of people watching at home all while holding back the pain and anguish of Cancer. Stuart Scott beat Cancer that night and helped encourage the lives of so many people around the world dealing with Cancer as well. Stuart Scott you are a hero and we all miss you so much. Love you Stu!!

I never make it through this without crying.

Sometimes i forget how inspirational this guy was. The best speech ever. This is how real man looks like. RIP Scott

This showed up in my feed. Even fighting cancer, Stuart was cool as the other side of the pillow

My Grandpa just died of stage 4 liver cancer. He touched many souls and always said “It’s nothing I can’t handle.”. He never gave up. I came to hear Stuart’s speech so I can be reminded how strong both my grandpa and Stuart was. It’s not about “losing” to cancer, it’s about fighting and being around people and seeing that your life has a purpose. Could watch this speech all day. RIP Stuart Scott💕

To the 71 people (it was 72 a few days ago) who gave this a "thumbs down", can you explain why? Was the speech too long? Did the camera go to the audience too often? It's one thing to not be completely riveted by this man of utter class and bravery - just the fact that he's on stage a few days after having multiple surgeries is incredible - but to deliberately give a negative gesture is mind-boggling to anyone with a soul.

Saddest and most emotional speech I've ever heard. R.I.P Mr. Stuart Scott.

He knew his time was almost up this was a great way to go out...rest in peace STU

Bro, when he hugged his daughter, I lost it. 😭😭

He was Sportscenter. Forever be missed. Way too young!!!!

I forgot he died I am bummed all over again.

I love the Jimmy V speech every year but I didn’t grow up with Valvano I grew up with this man and I still cry with his loss

One of my favorite sportcasters i miss him so sorry his life was cut so short he fought to the very end 😞😞😞

Still tear up every time I see this. Must have seen it like 50 times.

I first remember this voice on nba 2k5 when I was 8 years old on ps2. It chokes me up to this day in 2021. Brings back the good times. R.I.P brotha.

No words. How fucking great was this. Grew up watching Stuart. This broke my heart into a million pieces.

It’s the moment his daughter walked towards her father, upstairs bare feet and gives him a hug that brings me to tears every time.

This speech gave me a very different perspective of life.

Watching this in 2021 and still hits me the same. RIP Stuart scott. Still cooler than the other side of the pillow.

How could someone dislike this

"I can't give up." Very inspiring words sir. Neither will I.

My entire childhood of Sportscenter was Stuart Scott, much ❤️ man.

That's tough man.... Tough. Your heart goes out to him completely. I grew up with his colorful commentary. RIP

Ty mr stuart I'm a 14 year brain and spinal cord cancer survivor I listened to ur speech and was truly inspired ty Siehp

Came back to this because today is Stuart Scott’s birthday. It’s hard to believe it’s been over 4 years since he’s been gone, but at the same time, it almost feels like a lifetime ago. This man had a larger than life presence that made him seem bigger than ESPN; bigger than sportscasting in general. At the same time, it was easy to see how humble of a guy he was, how friendly and easygoing he was. I’ll always remember the hours I’d spend watching Sportscenter with him and Rich, watching the highlights on repeat while eagerly waiting for Stuart’s classic catchphrases. He was the Michael Jordan of sportscasters; “as cool as the other side of the pillow.” RIP Stuart. We miss you!

It hard to believe it's been five years since Stuart Scott passed away.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 6 years now. RIP sir. You are greatly missed. 🙏😞

How could anyone give a thumbs down on this video, utterly ridiculous. Stuart Scott would probably say something like "you better check yourself". Rock on Stuart, you are MISSED

When they embraced on the stage , that’s when the tears fell ...

He shaped my childhood. Such a good man. RIP

If the world had more men like Stuart Scott walking around the world would be a far better place. Rest easy and you are the definition of what being as cool as the other side of the pillow really is.

As a fellow brother who has had to endure the pain of cancer and it’s hardships it brings ... we miss you man . Sleep easy ❤️

Still can't believe he's gone...rest in power Mr. Scott

Having just buried my mother not even a week ago, Stuart has it nailed down. It's not just words that are for people afflicted with cancer, it's for everyone who is alive. It's about how you live your life, what you do, and the impact you make. I knew my mom was one of the best but it wasn't until after she suddenly passed that her impact was really understood. Now I know her legacy, it makes me so proud and if I can accomplish 1% of what she did, I'll be in business

The ones that put a thumbs down to this video is a pure example of the evil and demons that are in this world. This man fought his heart out and kept fighting for his precious kids that's a man and thank you stuart for fighting and leaving a legacy and a message to all of us here on earth to never give up in anything that we do. Remember when your having a bad day think about what stuart scott went through and never 1 time complained he was a worrier. As a father I could not even imagine have cancer and thought of leaving my son behind I could not even fathom that and this man showed courage and fought for his 2 daughters.

This speech lifts me up when I’m at my lowest and makes me hope, hope that there will be a tomorrow because I know that so long as I have hope there will be. Stu was a great man, respected and poignant. He’s missed every day, but his message was clear keep trying, be thankful for those around you that support you, and support those that love and support you. May he rest in peace and continue to provide comfort for those who are struggling.

Still such a great speech!!! Now in my second battle with cancer... two totally different ones!! Finished my first chemo today and my son sent me the link to this video as a reminder. No truer words spoken... And I still think of Stuart every time I flip my pillow at night. Every Time.
