Kidd's there too. Him and Tyson had dinner Monday night in LA....at Mr. Chows.
Kidd's also headed for the Celebrity Golf Tourney in Tahoe, starting Thursday through Sunday. Versus has coverage of it Thursday-Friday and NBC has it Saturday and Sunday.

So, do the Mavs take home the "Best Team" award for beating the "me centered" Heat?

Why are they announcing awards 2 hours before the awards show?

Those two were pretty much expected, if you ask me.
Best team and athlete will be much tougher. Still hoping, though...the Mavs are clearly deserving.

I thought they were just doing PTI picks, but I guess these are actual ESPYs.
So Dirk won best NBA player and Rick won best coach. That's 2/2 so far. Sweep incoming.

Best team is pretty much a lock. I bet only the Packers will come anywhere close. Maybe the Bruins if the playing field were level, but hockey plays such a tangential role in American sports discourse, I doubt it.
Best athlete will be tough.

Seth Meyers gave some good props to the Mavs during his monologue. Also ripped on the Nets pretty bad. Kidd laughed.

Seth Meyers has been so bad hosting this that it's hard to watch. Should have just had Timberlake host again. Then I would actually laugh.

I hate his type of humor. Should've had Jamie Foxx hosting and sing love songs to Serena. Hell, I would take Justin again.

I find Justin Timberlake to be hilarious. I never imagined I would think that a decade or so ago, but it's true. He's enjoyable to watch.

I'm surprised they didn't ask Justin back. I thought Seth sucked the first time around.

In terms of classic beauty, Dirk's girl is one of the best looking you'll see among celebrity girlfriends/wives.

Great premise but the execution was pretty weak.

How the F did Giants-Eagles win best game? Philly fans must have set up bots to vote that one to the top.
