Tonight, some of the world’s best athletes and biggest stars joined Stephen Curry for “The 2022 ESPYS.”
A total of eight awards were handed out from more than three dozen categories, including the team and the record-breaking performance trophies.
Hosted by Stephen Curry, who’s coming off a fourth NBA championship for the Golden State Warriors.
The star-studded event celebrated the best moments from the year in sports and aired live from The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
Stars and athletes who appeared this year included Odell Beckham Jr. (Super Bowl Champion), Mookie Betts (Los Angeles Dodgers), Maybelle Blair (former All-American Girls Pro Baseball League player), John Boyega, Alison Brie, Ciara, Dany Garcia (XFL owner and chairwoman), Ryan Garcia, Heidi Gardner, Jon Hamm, Lil Rel Howery, Billie Jean King (tennis legend), Derek Jeter (former MLB All-Star), Dwayne Johnson (“Black Adam,” XFL owner), Travis Kelce (Kansas City Chiefs), Lil Wayne, Simu Liu, Aubrey Plaza, Megan Rapinoe, Trevante Rhodes, Aaron Rodgers (NFL MVP), Lindsey Vonn (skiing), Hannah Waddingham, Russell Wilson (Denver Broncos) and more.
Stephen Curry’s on-and off-court legacy is underscored by transformation and innovation. His 13-year career in the NBA with the Golden State Warriors is marked by many firsts. He was the first person to be named Most Valuable Player by unanimous vote in NBA history, the first player to hit 100 3-pointers in the NBA Finals and one of a select few to win MVP awards two years in a row.
He remains the all-time leading scorer in Golden State Warriors history and recently surpassed former record-holder Ray Allen for most 3-pointers made in NBA history. He holds eight NBA all-star selections and four NBA Championships.
