ESPY show highlights
Steph Curry cracked up the crowd with his opening monologue. He spotted Grant Williams of the Boston Celtics in the crowd, and couldn't help delivering a playful jab, NBC Sports reported.
"It's great to see you again my man," Curry said to Grant, which can be seen in this video. Then Steph made a reference to the color of his own suit. "I know you like this color, I'll let you borrow it after I'm done. I might even let you wear a ring."
Of note is Alabama quarterback Bryce Young winning best male college athlete. It's the second straight win for a Crimson Tide player following DeVonta Smith receiving the award last year, Sports Illustrated reported.
