Tonight, some of the biggest names in sports gathered in Los Angeles for the 2023 ESPY Awards. The world’s greatest athletes showed up and showed us their softer side, leaving their jerseys behind for fitted suits and dresses.
The night kicked off with a performance from the iconic New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne, who performed his hit song “A Milli” and instantly transported us back to 2008. Famed players like LeBron James and Terrell Owens, along with newcomers Flau’jae Johnson and Angel Reese, hit the red carpet too.
