ESPY Awards 2010:A lot has happened in the sports world this year—both good and bad. There have been moments that have captured the attention of even the most disinterested sports fans.
Not long ago we saw the all-mighty Tiger slapped down by what may be the biggest scandal in sports history. More recently, we watched LeBron James who broke the hearts of every basketball fan in Ohio. But last night’s show focused on the positive, handing out awards to the most accomplished athletes in professional sports.
The ESPY Awards 2010 ceremony was held at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles 14th of July 2010. The event was hosted by American actor and comedian Seth Myers.
