As part of this year’s ESPYS Week, ESPN will debut “THE SPEECH,” a new one-hour SC Featured documentary that examines the extraordinary circumstances that led to one of the most impactful speeches ever given – former basketball coach and ESPN analyst Jim Valvano’s “Don’t Give Up. Don’t Ever Give Up,” speech at the first ESPYS Awards in March 1993 inside Madison Square Garden’s Paramount Theatre.
The SC Featured will air Wednesday, July 12 @ 7PM ET on ESPN ahead of The ESPYS, and again, on Saturday, July 15 @ 2PM ET on ABC. The documentary also will be on ESPN+ immediately after airing July 12.
