Today, December 3^rd, is an important day in the sports world. The reason for the day’s importance is that it begins the annual “Jimmy V. Week for Cancer Research.” It all kicks off tonight with a simulcast of beloved former NC State coach Jim Valvano’s famed 1993 ESPYs speech across the ESPN family of networks. It will also run on the ABC SuperSign in New York’s Times Square. Good Morning America host and winner of the 2013 Arthur Ashe Courage Award, Robin Roberts, will introduce the simulcast.

Roberts and a handful of athletes, coaches, celebrities and ESPN faces will share Valvano’s words through public service announcements. The announcements in question and “Jimmy V Week” content will air on ESPN’s Monday Night Football, NBA on ESPN games, and college football games on ABC.

The week-long memoriam wraps up with the “Jimmy V. Women’s and Men’s Basketball Classics Presented by Corona.” The games will be broadcast Tuesday, December 17^th at 7pm ET on ESPN2. Number 1 Connecticut will face off against Number 2 Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, North Carolina on the Women’s side. On the men’s side, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati will take to the hard court at 7pm ET. That game will be followed up by a matchup of Number 16 Florida and Number 11 Memphis at 9:30 ET. Both games will run on ESPN and ESPN Radio live from Madison Square Garden.

The “Jimmy V. Week for Cancer Research” raised $1.6 million in 2012. Last year’s success brings the fundraising effort’s six-year total to more than $6.5 million.

James, Williams, Heat Lead The Night At Annual ESPYs Awards

Another year, another big night for the ESPYS. LeBron James and his team mates with the Miami heat were some of the big winners at ESPN’s annual sports awards show. Also on the list of the year’s big winners were Serena Williams and Michael Phelps. James led the pack with three ESPY awards. And his team mates took home the award in the “Best Team” category for the second consecutive year. James’ awards were in the categories of: “Best Championship Performance”, “Best NBA Player”, and “Best Male Athlete.” Just as his team mates won their award for the second consecutive year, so did James take home the same awards personally for the second consecutive year, too. Last night’s win brings James’ ESPY total to nine awards over the course of his career.

Serena Williams took home two awards on the night. She won in the categories of “Best Female Athlete” and “Best Best Female Tennis Player.”

Game Six of the NBA Championship finals won the award in the “Best Game” category. It was in that game that Ray Allen forced the game into overtime with a game-tying three-pointer with 5.2 seconds left in the game. The Heat went on to win the game and the 2013 NBA Championship.

San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick might not have won the big game this year. But he did win at the ESPYs. He took home the award in the “Best Breakout Athlete.” Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby won in the category of “Best NHL Player.” The award comes on the heels of a season that saw Crosby score fifteen goals and forty-one assists over the course of the regular season. And from the world of Major League Baseball, Detroit Tigers player and triple crown winner Miguel Cabrera brought home the award for “Best MLB Player.” Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps won the award for “Best Record-Breaking Performance.” He won the award for his record setting the all-time record for most Olympic Medals at a total of twenty-two medals. He also won this award in 2009.

In one of the night’s more emotional moments, Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts took home the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. Roberts, who also played a direct hand in the new ESPN/espnW film series, Nine for IX, was one of ESPN’s first female sports anchors in the 1990s. Roberts has faced both cancer and MDS yet never wavered in her fight against either life-threatening illness. The award was presented to Roberts by LeBron James.

Another of the night’s more emotional moments came in the presentation of the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance. The award was given to the father and son team of Dick and Rick Hoyt. The pair has competed together in over one thousand endurance events including thirty-one Boston Marathons. The younger of the duo, Rick Hoyt, is 51-years old. He was born with cerebral palsy. The condition left him unable to use his hands and legs. His father, 73-year old Dick Hoyt, pushes his son in a custom-made running chair during races including 5Ks, 10Ks, marathons and triathlons. The award was given to the duo by actor Ben Affleck.

Among some of the nights other notable winners were: Rick Pitino (Best Coach/Manager), Candace Parker (Best WNBA Player), Floyd Mayweather (Best Fighter), Missy Franklin (Best Female Olympian), Usain Bolt (Best International Athlete) and Thierry Henry (Best MLS Player). A full list of the night’s winners is available below.
