Steph Curry of the NBA Champions Golden State Warriors hosted the 30th Annual ESPY Awards last night on ABC at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. He is only the second NBA player to host the awards ceremony. LeBron James was the first in 2007…… after losing in the NBA finals joked Curry.
Curry said during his opening monologue there is nothing better or more than beating the Celtics and bragged about winning their 4th Trophy in 7 years. Curry also joked that Tom Brady prefers getting hit on the football field by Aaron Donald more than hanging with a Super Model. lol

Curry was a two-time winner last night taking the ESPYs for Best NBA Player and Best Recordbreaking Performance. He was also nominated for Best Athlete, Men’s Sports but that award went to the LA Angels Pitcher Shohei “ShoTime” Ohtani.
