Whoever the guy at the beginning was, he ripped of Jim Valvano's speech at the 1993 ESPY awards. Jim Valvano died less than two months after the speech and everyone should watch it. My favorite speech of all time. I don't know if Valvano was given credit and it got cut out but if you want to here the original here is a link.
