The rest of the world has the Laureus World Sports Awards, but the American consciousness has the ESPYs, where the world of sports and entertainment come together to recap the year in sports, giving recognition to the best performers and performances in that time.
As it has been the norm, the ESPYs honor the best players in a particular sport within itself, as well as the best athlete from different disciplines. They also honor an event, which signifies something that is special. The nominees were known to the public by the 28th of June.
This is also a means for the ESPN to continue its support for the Jimmy V foundation.
