Felt like some motivation for game 5:

1. Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday
2. Gene Hackman in Hoosiers
3. Alec Baldwin in Glengary Glen Ross
4. Mel Gibson in Braveheart
5. Denzel Washington in Remember the Titans
6. Kurt Russell in Miracle
7. Charles Dutton in Rudy
8. Billy Bob Thornton in Friday Night Lights

I'm sure I overlooked some (or couldn't find the video), but what's your favorite?

I was going to say number 1 when I entered the thread.

Possibly my favorite inspirational scene is this one from Miracle, but it really isn't a speech per se.

Miracle Team Building

I also love the Rocky pre-fight scene from the first Rocky. I just want to go the distance.

First 1:45 of this montage

Unfortunately they cut out the best exchange of the movie in the overall edit when Apollo says "There ain't going to be no rematch" and Rocky says "Don't won't one"

BTW, I posted this because Phil Jackson played the Glengary Glen Ross clip for the Lakers before game 5. That got me thinking.

Herb Brooks reminds me of my Dad when I was growing up playing ball.

The speech clip or the "again" clip?

Any Given Sunday. Better movie than its given credit for I find.

"And, either we heal as a team, or we will die as individuals."

The "again" clip. My Dad always seemed to go over the top and he didn't care who's kid it was.

I voted Any Given Sunday.

Good addition. I didn't even think of that one.

Independence day speech?

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"

Not from a move, but a good one.
