“When you die it does not mean that you lose to cancer, you beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the matter of which you live,” made me cry on the spot
I think cancer has touched/fucked almost everyone at one point or another in some way shape or form so i hope everyone that has felt any kind of pain from this awful disease is ok and i hope my positive vibes and goodwill reach you somehow...
Background context for each clip: 0:15: Kevin Durant grew up a very poor kid in Washington D.C. and when he won the MVP award in 2014, he thanked his mom in a heartfelt tribute. 3:05: Marquise Goodwin's newborn son died before his game and when he scored a long touchdown, he dedicated it to him. 3:31: Eagles player Jerome Brown died in a car crash and that day, his teammate and friend Reggie White was supposed to give a speech at a Billy Graham Crusade and he was told about Brown's death moments before he took the stage. 4:47: Jose Fernandez, a young pitcher who had shown much promise, died in a boat accident in 2016. The Marlins cancelled their game that day. The next day, they played with Fernandez's name and number on the jersey, in tribute. Dee Gordon, his good friend, hit a leadoff homer, his first of the year, and dedicated it to him. 6:23: Derrick Rose, the reigning NBA MVP and one of the league's best young stars, tore his ACL and MCL in a play that didn't really matter. The Bulls had already won and he didn't need to be on the court. Rose was a fan favorite, being a hometown hero and a very lovable player. He hasn't been able to produce the same production since. 7:23: When the September 11th attacks happened in 2001, the MLB naturally closed for about 2 weeks. When they finally came back, in the first game in New York since the attacks, Mike Piazza of the Mets hits a go ahead home run in the 8th inning. It is a very powerful moment, giving New Yorkers something to be happy about for the first time in weeks. 8:27: Isaiah Thomas was an Allstar and fan favorite in Boston before they traded him to Cleveland. After the trade he was never quite the same player. When he finally returned to Boston, the Celtics gave him a fitting tribute. In that tribute, they show a clip of him crying on the bench just after he learned that his sister had died in a car crash at the age of 21. 9:55: Michael Jordan wins his first championship since his father was murdered and is very emotional, as he never did anything without his father's support. 10:27: Kobe Bryant, an NBA Legend, died in a helicopter crash in January 2020. His good friend and mentor Michael Jordan gives a heartfelt speech about his great friend. 11:39: Teddy Bridgewater plays his first game in nearly two years due to injury. 12:36: In April 2013, the Boston Marathon was bombed, killing many. When the Boston Bruins played their first home game since, the Boston fans sang the national anthem all together as a sign of unity. 15:05: Sean Taylor, an All-Pro safety for the Washington Redskins, was murdered. The Redskins took the field with only 10 people, 1 less than usual, as a tribute to Taylor. 15:34: Nebraska Punter Sam Foltz was killed in a car accident and, similar to Taylor, Nebraska lined up with only 10 men on the field, with no punter. 16:49: Derek Jeter, lifelong Yankee and fan favorite, was retiring in 2014 and in his final game at Yankee Stadium, Jeter hit a game winning single. 18:09: Pretty self explanatory. 19:14: Also pretty self explanatory except that Scott died about six months after receiving this award. 23:07: First one I actually had to look up. Craig Anderson's wife Nicole was diagnosed with cancer and after taking a week off, Anderson returned with a shutout. 24:00: Reggie Lewis, an Allstar for the Boston Celtics, collapsed with a heart ailment during a playoff game and was told he should never play basketball again. He died the following year after shooting baskets at his house and his heart failing. I actually don't know the last one. Anyone wanna help me out?
I know this is late and you might’ve figured out already but the last clip was about Junior Seau and his death. The women crying was I believe his grandmother who has heartbroken after hearing he died at such a young age.
Reggie Lewis received two opinions from two different hospitals. One opinion said he could play. So in the summer of 1993, he was shooting hoops at Brandeis University, collapsed and died. He had a massive heart condition with arrhythmia. Horribly sad, seemed like a real class act.
I felt the ones about cancer. My friend passed away late in March this year after an almost 3 year battle with cancer at the age of 16. Life is too short so enjoy everyday.

Steward Scott was so inspirational. How him who had cancer just never gave up and just made the most out of his life. And how even in the most difficult situations you should never give up

My mum passed away 16years ago from cancer atb the age of 41 and belive me my friend it will always hit home everytime you hear of anyone passing away from cancer but always remember the good times thats why we are all on this planet is to make memories and as mother taught me from a young age "live every day as if its going to be your last cause some day it will be" words I live by respect from Ireland friend
When people say “I don’t believe in god” I show them that video of Dee Gordon taking the first pitch and then switching his batt to Jose’s and launching a bomb. Gets me every time.
I cried when Stuart Scott died, as someone who grew up in Carolina, being a fan, knowing him as an alumni there, and as a sports fan in general it hit hard when died, and seeing that clip of him, brought every bit of that motion back... so thanks for making me cry again damnit

Bro when they were singing the national anthem in the nhl clip I had chills down my whole body when they hit "And the rockets red glare the bomb's bursting in air" what a great national anthem
@Papillomas Binturong bro . you dont get it . I am not American . And i dont stay there . So all i get to see are what i see on the news and online . With most of what i see , i am flabbergasted with the way some of the American left just blindly oppose everything that opposes their views . Astounded to be frank. You said being American . Like you just said , being American is an identity . All i see from the outside is it being eroded
Also i cannot for the life of me , understand why the left in your country opposes checks on immigration when it is illegal . Illegal Immigration . Hello ? Code word : Illegal . I am someone who wants to be an immigrant in your country . But i want to do it the right way . Dont you guys want to protect the interests of your fellow countrymen ?
When I was young I always looked up to Kobe. He motivated me to grind everyday and to get better at basketball. But not just basketball. He taught me to be respectful on and off the court. I kept grinding and grinding but I just felt like I wasn’t getting any better. I was starting to get depressed and thought I would never be good at anything. But I kept watching Kobe’s games, and I noticed that I wasn’t doing things right. I started playing for 6 hours a day, and I saw some change. I was getting better and better. Then I joined a team. I wasn’t the best but I was ok. My team was great, they had great shooters, playmakers, everything you could ask for. I didn’t stop grinding until I was satisfied with my work. My coach was amazing. He taught me skills that not even an NBA player would have. Then one day, my best friend was diagnosed with cancer. I couldn’t believe it. And i was just starting to get good at basketball. But my friend is more important. I quit basketball to take care of my friend. Luckily, he survived it but I had no hope. Now I was worried about basketball. I don’t know if I should join a team or not because it has been months since I played. Then I remembered what Kobe taught me. I grinded for days, weeks, months. I went back on the team and was terrible. I was averaging about 6 points per game with 25 minutes in the game. I couldn’t believe it. I started getting better on defense. I focused on that for a while and then I focused on ball handling. I became a great dribbler. Now I was ready. My 4th game I dropped 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. I felt great. The next game I dropped 23 points with 6 rebounds and 5 assists. I just kept getting better and better and here I am today averaging 27 points per game. Thank you Mamba🙏💜💛
To quote Rocky Balboa: It doesn't matter how hard you hit; it matters how you can GET hit and keep going, how much you can TAKE and keep going. THAT'S HOW WINNING IS DONE!
Say what you will about KD, but that MVP speech is probably one of the best speeches in sports that has ever happened. I get tears in my eyes as soon as it starts every time.
"When Kobe died, a piece of me died. And a piece of all of you died, or you wouldn't be here today." -MJ Spoken with such simple and heartfelt words, yet it hugely impactful. Not just because it was Kobe Bryant, but because he put it into the context of valuing the time we have on earth, and with each other. We form bonds and connections that hurt when they are broken, but cherished when remembered. We can't allow pettiness, or the politics of something like COVID keep us from loving one another.
As someone who lost their best friend to Cancer at 23, that Stuart Scott speech hits hard as hell. I can't watch it without balling my eyes out because I saw first hand what Cancer patients have to go through.
@@c.3514 If you need to ask. If only we could pull together for all lives like they have in this video. My friend got the crap beat out of him just because he dare say ALL LIVES MATTER. In this video I see African-American men crying for a white friend. That my friend is what I'm talking about.
That isn't the point of the BLM movement. Yes, all lives matter. Everyone knows this. But Black lives need help. They need allies. The United states have kept black lives in the margins and treated as inferiors. Black lives matter.
The National Anthem a couple of days after the terrorist bombed the Boston Marathon pulls at your heart strings. I had tickets to that game, but my daughter didn't want to go. Gave the tickets to my parents and brother. They said that moment was spine tingling.
4:50 Colon definitely threw him that right down the middle 😂 didn't even turn to look to see if it was outta there, just knew he smacked the shit out of it 😂😂😂
I don't care if it's in batting practice, hitting a home run on the spot like that, ESPECIALLY for a guy that is far from a HR hitter, was incredible. Don't take away from the moment
Since I have followed sport especially in the US and back here in Aus. I don’t think anything hit harder to me when I heard Kobe died. I grew up hating him not as a person but just the player because he was in a lakers jersey and I’m a die hard Celtics fan. But growing up witnessing greatness on my TV screen and just watching him dominate all the way until his last years in the NBA just hurt. Honestly I actually have never cried so much, cried for the whole day. He touched so many people with his game and not only that, it was also how he brought up his family. Gone but will never ever be forgotten. RIP Mamba
Being from Boston, moments like the marathon bombing were reminders that we are all Americans at the end of the day and we put our differences aside. As soon as the crowd started singing, I had immediate goosebumps.
I was 16 and a huge Bulls fan when Jordan and the Bulls beat Seattle in 6 to win the championship. I think everyone who was watching, Bulls and Sonic fans, were crying when we saw him collapsed on the floor of the locker room clutching that ball. He had just lost his dad months earlier and it was a bittersweet victory for him. He will always be the GOAT. It was a true pleasure to witness his career.
The V cancer speech hit me right in the gut. I lost my mom to cancer a year and a half ago. She went out her own way, choosing to sign up for hospice care. The thought of going through all the chemo and other measures was just too much for her, and she knew it. I'll see her again, the way I remember her before cancer turned her into a paraplegic, and then took her life.
nnjjiiu After the 9/11 attacks, no baseball or any sport was played for over a week. Finally, they came back and brought normalcy. The Mets had been scheduled to play a home game on September 11th, so it was them (and not my beloved Yankees) who restarted baseball in New York. Many of the families of the victims attended the game and were honored by the team and fans. The Mets trailed late, with their best player, Mike Piazza, due up. He hit a game-winning HR and the fans went crazy. I grew up in NY hating the Mets. I’ve never been happier to see a non-Yankee home run in my life.
Great speech and great mom. I lost my mom last year and everything he said rings true in my family also. My mom would scrape together what she could for my brother and sister to eat and have as normal of a life as possible. All loving caring moms deserve an MVP
That Derrick Rose one always tears me up. The biggest what "if" ever to step on the court. However his story is still incredible and something i look at when im hit with adversity. The guy is tough as nails and never gave up even with all his injuries.
When a great like Michael Jordan is in tears and is talking about the loss of a "brother" like Kobe Bryant....Makes you realize how much Michael really cared. Most people think he's a pure asshole, but damn does he have a good reason to be. To have a winning mentality all your life, that gets to you. He never glorified no man because he would always think "Im better than them." And for him to mention Kobe as his brother, that hits you. R.I.P Kobe the great one!
Something to add and I'm surprised not a lot of these compilation videos ever mention it but; November 14th, 1970. What happened on that day? That tragic day was the plane crash of Southern Airways Flight 932. On that plane, carried the whole football team of Marshall University Thundering Herd, their staff/administrators and other personnel on board. Nobody survived that crash. But man, a whole football team and staff - just gone like that.
I listen to that arena sing the Anthem.. and it just reminds me.. one country, indivisible. so love to everyone. No matter what side you cheer for or who you voted for.
19:10 -- if you can take anything away from this video...take the time to take this. And if you have kids....pass this along to them. Sorry.... 19:10 - 22:50 -- THIS....this right here is so moving...so powerful. WOW
So this is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen. I thought it was super beautiful. Only two things I’d like to say as a new fans input. Text boxes explaining what happened or a voice over are always nice because some people may not know why these moments are sad. Second is I’m shocked the wwe ring announcer singing the National anthem right after 9/11 wasn’t on here that one always gives me chills. Super great vid and I am now a sub :)
Bro when they were singing the national anthem in the nhl clip I had chills down my whole body when they hit "And the rockets red glare the bomb's bursting in air" what a great national anthem
When Reggie White announced Jerome Browns death it hit me so hard. I wasn't alive when it happened, but just hearing everyone gasp in shock at the news and Reggie breaking down because he lost his friend hit so sad.
Being a bruins fan and witnessing that national anthem moment made me tear up. Seeing again right now is making me extremely emotional. That’s probably the most together I’ve ever seen the city of Boston be
Reading the comments - I'd say your video is a winner, created alot of emotion, myself included. Interesting to see which videos hit people more/differently for various reasons. For me - the basketball player unable to continue the interview after the young girl passed away was most emotional - having a young daughter myself, I couldn't imagine losing her and seeing such a young person struggle and fight each day 😥
That one hit hard. Her name was Miyah. She was a cancer patient who befriend the basketball player (John Wall) They got super close to each until she lost the fight to cancer. As you could tell they were extremely close. Appreciate you leaving that comment;)
One thing you should have had was when the Yankees played their first game after their captain Thurman Munson died in a plane crash. The Yanks took the field without a catcher in his honor, and the fans gave an ovation of almost 15 minutes as fans, Yankees, staff, etc all cried.
The Isaiah Thomas one is heartbreaking when you look back at the thing in its entirety. Struggling through his first few seasons in Sacramento, Thomas finally got a break when he made it into Boston. The dude found his place and alongside players like Smart and Crowder, brought the Celtics back into the conversation of good Eastern Conference teams and a legit contender against James and the Cavs. Then Thomas' sister dies and in Game 2, he breaks his hip and is forced to watch as his team gets wiped out. He's then traded to the Cavs, who didn't know how to use him, then traded to the Lakers, where he struggled to fit in with their style of play, resulting in some bad games and people in the UA-cam comments I saw calling him trash and how he sucks. Thomas got dealt a major bad hand that he never has seemed to recover from...
10:05 MJ uncontrollably weeping on the locker room floor absolutely crushed me. I had never seen that footage, but I know when it happened 😢 Then his future Kobe speech, I am out of tears... that man has been through so much heartbreak.
I wish they'd kept in the part on the Nebraska punter's passing where Fresno State refused the delay of game penalty out of respect for what Nebraska was doing. That just made the moment more poignant.
@@smudgynomath1294 Dee Gordans home run for the Miami Marlins was a couple after the death of their best pitcher Jose Fernandez who died in a boating accident, Mike Piazzas home run as a mets player i think was right after 9/11 i may be wrong, derek Jeter one with the Yankees was his final hit of his career so its like Brees Last play with Saints or Kobes Last game in the NBA. So it was their franchise player of 20 years finally retiring..
The Pro Football Hall of Fame speech of Shannon Sharpe made me shed tears, talking about his grandmother. He asked her, when he signed his first pro contract with the Denver Broncos, "What do you want me to buy you, grandmother?" All she said she wanted was not to get wet when it rained, as the house they lived in had a leaky roof and they could never afford to get it fixed. He also said some poignant words about his brother, Sterling, whose NFL career was cut short. He told the crowd at the ceremony that he is the 200-something member of the HoF, but he is the second best football player in his family. He called Sterling the best football player out of the two. Sterling, among the standing ovation, watched, and tears flowed from his eyes. A very beautiful, yet emotional HoF speech!
10:20 I admit. Its such a huge impact back the day when athletes got emotional, no body picked up their phones to record, no one started a hashtag, where the moment an athlete's persona dropped, people attempted to block out the media to give them their moments just for some to sneak a 'money shot' in to sell. Where its not I'm saying there aren't current emotional moments that don't have huge impacts, its just at the time, it just hit so much harder because the professionalism and competitive nature of everyone, you had to stay on guard more often than now.
Bartolo COlon a real one. Serving up an absolute MEATBALL for skinny little Dee Gordon to push it over the wall. He didnt even have to look at it. He knew he did his part.
Thank you for this video. I'm not sure if the national anthem will ever be given the respect it deserves again. At least not until this nonsense around the country ends.
No kidding; I held it together pretty well until MJ’s speech at Kobe’s memorial. Kobe was one of the few famous people whose death had me crying actual tears 😢
Absolutely beautiful, and had me crying probably 5 separate times (Dee Gordon, Kobe, the Anthem, John Wall, Stuart Scott). Just 2 things that I would change. One, while the music was wonderful, it could have been a little quieter. There were times where it completely overwhelmed speeches. Two, some context. I knew most of them, but ones like the hockey shutout baffled me. Also I have no idea who that woman was at the end or who her son was.

“When you die it does not mean that you lose to cancer, you beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the matter of which you live,”
made me cry on the spot
It was like he knew what was coming, but still having the courage and strength to carry on is incredibly inspiring.
I grew up watching Stuart Scott on sports center when they all first started. I genuinely bawled my eyes out when he passed away.
the end of that speech made me pause the video and literally just think that was so powerful
I think cancer has touched/fucked almost everyone at one point or another in some way shape or form so i hope everyone that has felt any kind of pain from this awful disease is ok and i hope my positive vibes and goodwill reach you somehow...

‘You the real mvp’ one by Kevin Durant hit hard
Real mvp for finding them genes that made him 7' tall and coordinated.

The next day, they played with Fernandez's name and number on the jersey, in tribute. Dee Gordon, his good friend, hit a leadoff homer, his first of the year, and dedicated it to him.
6:23: Derrick Rose, the reigning NBA MVP and one of the league's best young stars, tore his ACL and MCL in a play that didn't really matter. The Bulls had already won and he didn't need to be on the court. Rose was a fan favorite, being a hometown hero and a very lovable player. He hasn't been able to produce the same production since.

16:49: Derek Jeter, lifelong Yankee and fan favorite, was retiring in 2014 and in his final game at Yankee Stadium, Jeter hit a game winning single.
18:09: Pretty self explanatory.
19:14: Also pretty self explanatory except that Scott died about six months after receiving this award.
23:07: First one I actually had to look up. Craig Anderson's wife Nicole was diagnosed with cancer and after taking a week off, Anderson returned with a shutout.
24:00: Reggie Lewis, an Allstar for the Boston Celtics, collapsed with a heart ailment during a playoff game and was told he should never play basketball again. He died the following year after shooting baskets at his house and his heart failing.

When I was young I always looked up to Kobe. He motivated me to grind everyday and to get better at basketball. But not just basketball. He taught me to be respectful on and off the court. I kept grinding and grinding but I just felt like I wasn’t getting any better. I was starting to get depressed and thought I would never be good at anything. But I kept watching Kobe’s games, and I noticed that I wasn’t doing things right. I started playing for 6 hours a day, and I saw some change. I was getting better and better. Then I joined a team. I wasn’t the best but I was ok. My team was great, they had great shooters, playmakers, everything you could ask for. I didn’t stop grinding until I was satisfied with my work. My coach was amazing. He taught me skills that not even an NBA player would have. Then one day, my best friend was diagnosed with cancer. I couldn’t believe it. And i was just starting to get good at basketball. But my friend is more important. I quit basketball to take care of my friend. Luckily, he survived it but I had no hope. Now I was worried about basketball. I don’t know if I should join a team or not because it has been months since I played. Then I remembered what Kobe taught me. I grinded for days, weeks, months. I went back on the team and was terrible. I was averaging about 6 points per game with 25 minutes in the game. I couldn’t believe it. I started getting better on defense. I focused on that for a while and then I focused on ball handling. I became a great dribbler. Now I was ready. My 4th game I dropped 17 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. I felt great. The next game I dropped 23 points with 6 rebounds and 5 assists. I just kept getting better and better and here I am today averaging 27 points per game. Thank you Mamba🙏💜💛
Glad to hear that, much love ❤️
I really looked up to Kobe. my nickname was actually Kobe by my friends. He is one of the reasons I love basketball so much 🙏💜💛
Vixon Elite 😢

That Stu Scott speech was amazing. As I deal with Testicular cancer. Shit hits hard.

I hope that you are able to beat it and get back to the great life you deserve!
To quote Rocky Balboa: It doesn't matter how hard you hit; it matters how you can GET hit and keep going, how much you can TAKE and keep going. THAT'S HOW WINNING IS DONE!
fight hard i’m rooting for you i know you can beat this shitty situation i know you can
Keep up the fight. You got this my dude!
Say what you will about KD, but that MVP speech is probably one of the best speeches in sports that has ever happened. I get tears in my eyes as soon as it starts every time.
"When Kobe died, a piece of me died. And a piece of all of you died, or you wouldn't be here today." -MJ
Spoken with such simple and heartfelt words, yet it hugely impactful. Not just because it was Kobe Bryant, but because he put it into the context of valuing the time we have on earth, and with each other. We form bonds and connections that hurt when they are broken, but cherished when remembered. We can't allow pettiness, or the politics of something like COVID keep us from loving one another.
As someone who lost their best friend to Cancer at 23, that Stuart Scott speech hits hard as hell. I can't watch it without balling my eyes out because I saw first hand what Cancer patients have to go through.
4 years have passed, but that José Fernandez one still hits hard.

That isn't the point of the BLM movement. Yes, all lives matter. Everyone knows this. But Black lives need help. They need allies. The United states have kept black lives in the margins and treated as inferiors. Black lives matter.
The National Anthem a couple of days after the terrorist bombed the Boston Marathon pulls at your heart strings. I had tickets to that game, but my daughter didn't want to go. Gave the tickets to my parents and brother. They said that moment was spine tingling.

I don't care if it's in batting practice, hitting a home run on the spot like that, ESPECIALLY for a guy that is far from a HR hitter, was incredible. Don't take away from the moment
Since I have followed sport especially in the US and back here in Aus. I don’t think anything hit harder to me when I heard Kobe died. I grew up hating him not as a person but just the player because he was in a lakers jersey and I’m a die hard Celtics fan. But growing up witnessing greatness on my TV screen and just watching him dominate all the way until his last years in the NBA just hurt. Honestly I actually have never cried so much, cried for the whole day. He touched so many people with his game and not only that, it was also how he brought up his family. Gone but will never ever be forgotten. RIP Mamba
Kd’s mvp speech hits different when your mom did the same thing.
Brett Favre's game after his father died is one for me.
I remember the Brett Favre game after he lost his dad. I'm a huge Raider fan. He whooped us good that night, but I was happy for him.
Being from Boston, moments like the marathon bombing were reminders that we are all Americans at the end of the day and we put our differences aside. As soon as the crowd started singing, I had immediate goosebumps.
I was 16 and a huge Bulls fan when Jordan and the Bulls beat Seattle in 6 to win the championship. I think everyone who was watching, Bulls and Sonic fans, were crying when we saw him collapsed on the floor of the locker room clutching that ball. He had just lost his dad months earlier and it was a bittersweet victory for him. He will always be the GOAT. It was a true pleasure to witness his career.
The V cancer speech hit me right in the gut. I lost my mom to cancer a year and a half ago. She went out her own way, choosing to sign up for hospice care. The thought of going through all the chemo and other measures was just too much for her, and she knew it. I'll see her again, the way I remember her before cancer turned her into a paraplegic, and then took her life.
Sorry to hear that man ❤️
Sorry for your loss. I hope your staying strong and making her proud!
I’m a huge Braves fan, but Piazza’s home run needed to happen.

@@nnjjiiu He homered right after 9/11
nnjjiiu After the 9/11 attacks, no baseball or any sport was played for over a week. Finally, they came back and brought normalcy. The Mets had been scheduled to play a home game on September 11th, so it was them (and not my beloved Yankees) who restarted baseball in New York.
Many of the families of the victims attended the game and were honored by the team and fans. The Mets trailed late, with their best player, Mike Piazza, due up. He hit a game-winning HR and the fans went crazy. I grew up in NY hating the Mets. I’ve never been happier to see a non-Yankee home run in my life.
Big sexy serving up that softball is such a class act, that moment was bigger than a game and he understood that. Big props to him
Great speech and great mom. I lost my mom last year and everything he said rings true in my family also. My mom would scrape together what she could for my brother and sister to eat and have as normal of a life as possible. All loving caring moms deserve an MVP
watching the kd made me tear up, i felt it so much knowing that i have had the same upbringing
That Derrick Rose one always tears me up. The biggest what "if" ever to step on the court. However his story is still incredible and something i look at when im hit with adversity. The guy is tough as nails and never gave up even with all his injuries.
Music and sport. The two things that I absolutely love seeing people come together for ❤
When a great like Michael Jordan is in tears and is talking about the loss of a "brother" like Kobe Bryant....Makes you realize how much Michael really cared. Most people think he's a pure asshole, but damn does he have a good reason to be. To have a winning mentality all your life, that gets to you. He never glorified no man because he would always think "Im better than them." And for him to mention Kobe as his brother, that hits you. R.I.P Kobe the great one!
That John wall clip gets me every time. 6 years old man. I hope one day to know why life has to be so unfair at times.
Having the entire crowd do the national anthem is really rare, it gave me chills not gonna lie.
Great content throughout . Great work ! 15:32 gave me chills .
Something to add and I'm surprised not a lot of these compilation videos ever mention it but; November 14th, 1970. What happened on that day?
That tragic day was the plane crash of Southern Airways Flight 932. On that plane, carried the whole football team of Marshall University Thundering Herd, their staff/administrators and other personnel on board. Nobody survived that crash.
But man, a whole football team and staff - just gone like that.
Derrick Rose one hit me , I forgot about that.
I listen to that arena sing the Anthem.. and it just reminds me.. one country, indivisible. so love to everyone. No matter what side you cheer for or who you voted for.
These moments are incredibly powerful, wow. Stuart Scott's and Kevin Durant's speeches are so meaningful! I'm still crying.

Dam bro that KD one hit 😭😭 shouts out to all the moms out there!
Reading the comments - I'd say your video is a winner, created alot of emotion, myself included. Interesting to see which videos hit people more/differently for various reasons.
For me - the basketball player unable to continue the interview after the young girl passed away was most emotional - having a young daughter myself, I couldn't imagine losing her and seeing such a young person struggle and fight each day 😥
That one hit hard. Her name was Miyah. She was a cancer patient who befriend the basketball player (John Wall) They got super close to each until she lost the fight to cancer. As you could tell they were extremely close. Appreciate you leaving that comment;)
One thing you should have had was when the Yankees played their first game after their captain Thurman Munson died in a plane crash. The Yanks took the field without a catcher in his honor, and the fans gave an ovation of almost 15 minutes as fans, Yankees, staff, etc all cried.
RIP Sean Taylor
Gone but never forgotten
The Isaiah Thomas one is heartbreaking when you look back at the thing in its entirety.
Struggling through his first few seasons in Sacramento, Thomas finally got a break when he made it into Boston. The dude found his place and alongside players like Smart and Crowder, brought the Celtics back into the conversation of good Eastern Conference teams and a legit contender against James and the Cavs. Then Thomas' sister dies and in Game 2, he breaks his hip and is forced to watch as his team gets wiped out.
He's then traded to the Cavs, who didn't know how to use him, then traded to the Lakers, where he struggled to fit in with their style of play, resulting in some bad games and people in the UA-cam comments I saw calling him trash and how he sucks.
Thomas got dealt a major bad hand that he never has seemed to recover from...
I am a Cubs fan. I will always remember when the Marlins walked us off in 17 right after the Parkland shooting that had killed 17.
🙏
Kobe hit me hard man. What a legend of a man.
The reggie white one is maybe the saddest moment in Philadelphia sport history if not PA history
10:05 MJ uncontrollably weeping on the locker room floor absolutely crushed me. I had never seen that footage, but I know when it happened 😢 Then his future Kobe speech, I am out of tears... that man has been through so much heartbreak.
I wish they'd kept in the part on the Nebraska punter's passing where Fresno State refused the delay of game penalty out of respect for what Nebraska was doing. That just made the moment more poignant.
The Kobe speech... every day it still feels like it didn’t happen, and it hurts even worse just knowing he’s really gone
Here's one you can add if you want. Rugby players pay tribute to Jonah Lomu (probably spelled it wrong) by performing the Haka in his honor.

the super bowl performance by U2 after 9/11 that was the greatest super bowl in history of anything. never forget
The Pro Football Hall of Fame speech of Shannon Sharpe made me shed tears, talking about his grandmother. He asked her, when he signed his first pro contract with the Denver Broncos, "What do you want me to buy you, grandmother?" All she said she wanted was not to get wet when it rained, as the house they lived in had a leaky roof and they could never afford to get it fixed. He also said some poignant words about his brother, Sterling, whose NFL career was cut short. He told the crowd at the ceremony that he is the 200-something member of the HoF, but he is the second best football player in his family. He called Sterling the best football player out of the two. Sterling, among the standing ovation, watched, and tears flowed from his eyes. A very beautiful, yet emotional HoF speech!
i will add it to part two!
Damn.. this gave me a different view on KD
10:20 I admit. Its such a huge impact back the day when athletes got emotional, no body picked up their phones to record, no one started a hashtag, where the moment an athlete's persona dropped, people attempted to block out the media to give them their moments just for some to sneak a 'money shot' in to sell. Where its not I'm saying there aren't current emotional moments that don't have huge impacts, its just at the time, it just hit so much harder because the professionalism and competitive nature of everyone, you had to stay on guard more often than now.
“It’s just a sport” they say
Bartolo COlon a real one. Serving up an absolute MEATBALL for skinny little Dee Gordon to push it over the wall. He didnt even have to look at it. He knew he did his part.

If you couldn't figure out the Piazza HR it happened in September 2001.
If you watched this video without crying or your throat getting that weird feeling at all, you are not human
No kidding; I held it together pretty well until MJ’s speech at Kobe’s memorial. Kobe was one of the few famous people whose death had me crying actual tears 😢
Absolutely beautiful, and had me crying probably 5 separate times (Dee Gordon, Kobe, the Anthem, John Wall, Stuart Scott).
Just 2 things that I would change. One, while the music was wonderful, it could have been a little quieter. There were times where it completely overwhelmed speeches. Two, some context. I knew most of them, but ones like the hockey shutout baffled me. Also I have no idea who that woman was at the end or who her son was.
Her Son Was Junior Seau, A Football Player Who Played For the Chargers and Patriots and then committed suicide in 2012.
Zing Highlights Yes, of course. Seau's death hit me hard even though I wasn't a fan of any of the teams he played for.
