Didn't see it, but that clip was one of the coolest things ever posted on this site. pshabi posts it back in the day. Here's a link:


I'm really glad he won. That's just.... awesome.

Oh man, the clip has been removed. Well, here's all sorts of coverage of the story:


I'm gonna watch these again right now.

The speech should be on ESPN sometime in the next 15 minutes or so. They're replaying the ESPYs.

i would love to see an unedited clip of his entire performance in that game. anyone know if that is floating around online somewhere?

if anything else even came close in the voting for the best moment, i would have been shocked. that is such an emotional thing to see, and I have the same reaction everytime. I even liked the commercial with Kobe in it (even though I hate Kobe), where he describes seeing it happen.

I thought that Dakota Dowd thing was pretty cool, too ... especially when you consider she was only a couple of shots off the lead after the first round.
Background: Dakota's 13, her mom is terminally ill with cancer, and always wanted to see her daughter play in an LPGA event. Dakota got a sponsor's exemption and played in the tournament.

But what made the McElwain thing the shoo-in winner was the fact that the kid had NEVER PLAYED in a high school game. EVER. It was a once-in-a-lifetime moment, not just for him, but for anyone who got to see it.
