Mikaela Shiffrin (Best Athlete in Women’s Sports), Angel Reese (Best Breakthrough Athlete), LeBron James (Best Breakthrough Athlete) Performance) and Lionel Messi (Best Championship Performance) were also among the top winners.
Speakers include Damar Hamlin, Dwayne Wade, Travis Kelce, Sue Sue Bird, Mike Tyson & Livvy Dunne, Lil Wayne & HER performed to V Foundation Anniversary and Jim Valvano’s iconic ESPYS speech in 1993. Peyton and Eli Manning also participated in a sketch comedy.
In addition to the competition honors, a special award was also awarded to the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team Ash Award for Courage; Chicago White Sox pitcher and cancer survivor Liam Hendricks honored with Jimmy V Perseverance Award; Hermann Service Award.
