Watch Stuart Scott's touching speech about battling cancer: 'When you die, it does not mean that you lose'
Longtime ESPN anchor Stuart Scott died Sunday of cancer at the age of 49. The iconic TV host was first diagnosed with cancer in 2007, but he kept details of his health largely private until this past July, when he delivered this memorable speech upon accepting the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPY's.
"When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer," Scott said. "You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live." —Jon Terbush
