She brought the team with her….WOW!!! Everyone of those young women will go on to make an impact just as she has and is doing. Bravo Dawn Staley…..Bravo
The team was also nominated for best team. They won too. Dawn is just winning all around
funny when she told them to sit back down haha. gotta love it
Sitting here in tears, a proud North Philadelphian and long time fan who used to play alongside Dawn at Dobbins basketball courts. This is who she has always been and her heart is big enough for anyone that needs that special love and care. God bless Dawn, and congratulations!!
Absolutely! Love Coach.🥰🙏🏾
How big was her heart when she tried to frame Iowa's Coach Bluder as racist with "We're not monkeys...thugs", has done this to others, and has never apologized for this?
Her heart was with her team, being unfairly framed in a cocoon of privileged negativity that is a part of our daily lives, to nudge people to look within themselves in relation to the world we live in. She never called Lisa a racist. @@Cosmiclava-f9t
@@Cosmiclava-f9tbecause we aren’t monkeys or thugs. She said what she said
Love Dawn so much watching her truly be herself over the years! Perfect recipient for this award, salute!
@@TheAFCPodcast what did she persevere though? The projects?
@@jrr9035go back in to CAVES with that nonsense.
@@jrr9035 Did you listen to her acceptance?
@@jrr9035 Listen to her story.
Is this a joke? This woke moron won this award!? Wow!!!
I cried throughout this whole segment. I didn't think I could love Dawn Staley any more, but I was wrong. She is the epitome of not only passion, but compassion. I wish her nothing but the best.
Why dawn is so disrespectful to others and she didn’t deserve to win any awards I had to turn her off because the news had her on I can’t stand her attitude she has. She disciplines players for their actions and to me that’s wrong. She didn’t deserve to win any awards.
She did say for social media trollers…come see her- but often time we complain about stuff that really doesn’t matter- a cancer ♋️ battle for example is that serious for her time, is yours? 😀 After that heartfelt acceptance speech, Coach Dawn Staley is a Class Act, yes God is divinely orchestrating the life of Dawn Staley, ordering her steps to Inspire, motivate…, as she continue to use her platform in Fighting for others, not only for her basketball players, but friends, family, especially kids that look up to her, and like her little friend with cancer- those in fight of their life- what an incredible, yet humble human being- she consider changing lives of others a “blessing”☝🏽 👏🏽 🌟✨ We loveU Coach Dawn Staley, CONGRATULATIONS on Espy🏆 📣Go USC GameCocks 🐓🥇❤️
My father is currently battling cancer and this made me cry the entire time. F**k Cancer!!
I'm praying for your father God Bless you and your family stay strong❤
@@shaunnaturner4049 Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it. May God bless you and your family as well❤️
@@ayiticheri7277 ❤️
Excellent speech and the story behind the necklace😢 who knew the ESPY'S told so many heart felt stories!
Who knew??? They have been doing this for years where u been?
Congrats to Dawn, very deserving. Special role model for basketball and life!
That’s how you represent! Dawn keep shining.
Saying you've been divinely guided and the path was set for you to make a difference spoke to me so much. Dawn has been such an inspiration to the younger generation. Showing up as herself and leading authentically and unapologetically shows us that we too can be more than just a title. We can be leaders and difference makers!
Well said.
Love and respect for Dawn Staley.
“I call it a Blessing”. A perfect message. Let’s try to pass that Blessing around in some form. Thanks Dawn. This senior citizen from the state of Delaware is proud of you. 🙏🏾❤️
I absolutely love her authenticity, humbleness, genuine love for the sport and people, and winning spirit. We will win and keep going until we get it! Such an inspiration. Always with L.O.V.E. ❤️
I agree @kimjustwalker15
This what the world needed to hear 😢❤
A great speech by a great woman who has earned her flowers 💐 Congratulations Coach Dawn Staley....🏀 🏆 this is a powerful story that she shares 🙏🏽
Dawn Staley did a magnificent job!!
This recognition is well-deserved. Dawn is a true inspiration to many! Congratulations and what a great speech!
Dawn Staley brought her own SEAL TEAM 6. Teaching them core principles ,values and doing it the right way. CONGRATULATIONS COACH.WELL DESERVED.
I watched Dawn Staley play when i was a kid. That was a great time for the WNBA. Great to see her here now at this level.
It's something about genuine people that touches your spirit.
This woman never surprises me. The tears instantly started to flow watching this segment. Shes truly a class act, a winner and a phenomenal person. God bless you Dawn. God bless you 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Dawn Staley is so inspirational!
Love Dawn and thankful she’s at Carolina she’s done so much for Gamecock country and we’re thankful for how she pours into players about how to be great on and off the court
Dawn Staley seasoned with grace ❤.
Wow! This speech was SO powerful! Coach Staley is an inspiration on and off the court!
Woman got me crying my eyes out. I FREAKING LOVE DAWN!!!!
If you don't love Dawn then you are just a hurt person. She is so encouraging she reminds you you are worthy!
How can you not be inspired by this woman. Dawn, your spirit is warmth, love and so much more. Thank you for accepting your divine gift!! 💗💗
She's the best.. congratulations Sister.. im praying for you today..
Watching her journey has been an inspiration. Tenacious and fierce as a player. Dawn Staley inspires that in the teams that she coaches. Coming up before the WNBA existed and being part of laying that foundation that today we see growing and bringing great things to the women who have played, coached, trained, and devoted themselves to the game. Coach could own the sideline in any league on any level with any group of players. The Mamba mentality is alive and well. Salut
God blessed us with Coach Dawn Staley 😇 I miss you so much Coach Nikki
Dawn is an amazing soul and it's a beautiful thing to see how proud her daycare loves her and is inspired by her amongst everyone else in the world.
I already admired Dawn. I love her even more today❤
Thank you for everything Coach Staley Thank you for all you do I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for you I wanted to say to you that you had an amazing impact on my life and on my career thank you for always believing in me and for always telling me to go chase my dreams and if I wanted to chase my dreams I knew what I had to do was always keep my foot on gas and to never let up and to never give up on my dreams and to always stay focused and that I was always going to work hard everyday day in and day out and night in and night out with everything I had with blood sweat and tears into my craft and now today I can stand here before you and say I am now a Former Graduate and Alumni of Wash High (PA) Class of 2023 Coach Staley love you Coach Staley ❤
CONGRATULATIONS DAWN STALEY!!!!

Congrats 2 Coach Staley!!!!! Well Deserved!!
She’s a true 🐐 and highly blessed
Yes Queen you deserve this award! Dwan you rock!!
She is consistent. 🔥. Keep pushing us to speak & love.
I'm British but a mother of a son who played basketball, a family member who has had to watch and be there with other family members with Cancer. Dawn's speech was truly inspiring. She did not make the award about her but about how her actions and voice can make or help make a difference. Here in Britain we could do with more coaches like her, she does everything with her heart and sole, may she carry on the being the person she is. ❤
Why would she make the award about her in the first place? Silly comment!
Dawn is truly inspiring. Every time she talks, you learn something, and you feel something.
Well-deserved to a Coach who understands the importance of fighting for justice and supporting those who are less fortunate regardless of her many athletic accomplishments. An American treasure!
Dawn speech was so real authentic, congratulations, all you care giving Cancer awareness, nice necklaces !
And that’s why she’s the GOAT. Hope she continues to coach the Gamecocks for years to come. Seems like she’s just getting started. Love you coach. Keep shining that bright light for all the world to see. God is good.
Congrats Dawn! Thank you for sharing such a testimony and special thanks to the Stewart Scott foundation.
🎉😊❤
