On February 21, 1993, NC State honored the 1983 NCAA Championship basketball team in Reynolds Coliseum. Their coach Jim Valvano was working the game for ABC and gave this speech before a standing room only crowd. This speech precluded his famous ESPY speech. He died of cancer on April 28, 1993 . Don't give up, don't ever give up. www.jimmyv.org People have asked me where I got this footage from, I sat in the upper half of Reynolds Coliseum with my own camera and taped the speech never thinking that anyone but close friends would ever see it. I recently uploaded the entire ceremony on YouTube. It is in six parts and can be found by clicking on my username.

I was at Reynolds for the basketball game where this was recorded - it's amazing that this still brings tears to my eyes after 15 years! Thank you so much for sharing this...

The NCAA brought the "hammer down" not because of Jimmy V but after initial accusations where proven false it was found that some players had sold comp tixs and shoes. Something most every athlete did back in the day. NYTimes: The National Collegiate Athletic Association put North Carolina State's basketball team on two years' probation today and barred it from the 1990 N.C.A.A. tournament for violations that included the misuse of complimentary tickets and sneakers provided to the players.

Best of luck....remember, as Jimmy V would say "If you think, you laugh, and you cry, that's a good day, that's a heck of a day!"

So NC State was put on probation because of a bunch of lies and the promise of a lucrative book sale? The NCAA doesn't bring the hammer down unless they have solid evidence. Keep living in the past.
