After hosting the 2016 ESPYs, Stephen Curry is set to host this year’s edition as well. The four-time NBA champion, two-time MVP, and Finals MVP are up for three ESPY awards.

Klay Thompson wins Jimmy V Award for Perseverance

ESPN college Sport is een brede term die elke activiteit beschrijft waarbij mensen tegen elkaar of een andere entiteit strijden analyst Dick Vitale took home the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance after a seven-month battle with cancer. Survivors of the disease were honored with the award, and Vitale’s speech was inspirational. In 1993, his best friend Jim Valvano lost his battle with cancer and gave the ESPYs’ most famous speech. Dick Vitale went on to win the award and has been a part of the organization’s annual gala for 17 jaar.

In his speech, Jimmy Vitale encouraged the audience to donate to the V Foundation, waarmee geld wordt ingezameld voor kankeronderzoek. Hij herinnerde de aanwezigen er ook aan om hun dromen na te jagen, hoe groot of klein ze ook zijn. Terwijl het publiek Klay Thompson applaudisseerde voor zijn prestaties, ze waren ontroerd door zijn verhaal. Voor velen, deze prijs symboliseert de moed van een sportster die vastbesloten is om tegenslagen te overwinnen om de beste te worden die hij kan zijn.

De 2022 ESPY's worden in juli uitgezonden op ABC 20. Golden State Warriors-bewaker Stephen Curry zal de show hosten. Dick Vitale zal de Jimmy V Award voor doorzettingsvermogen in ontvangst nemen. In oktober, hij werd gediagnosticeerd met lymfoom maar keerde terug naar de ether. Hij heeft onlangs chemotherapiebehandelingen afgerond. Dick komt oorspronkelijk uit Passaic, New Jersey, en woonde Seton Hall bij.

Klay Thompson wins best comeback athlete

Klay Thompson, een basketballer die in januari een knieoperatie onderging 2019, won de prijs voor beste comeback-atleet op de ESPY's. Hoewel de prijs bedoeld was voor Trey Mancini, die jarenlang tegen kanker vocht, Thompson stapte in om het te winnen voor de Orioles. Mancini keerde terug naar de NBA in 2021, na twee jaar missen vanwege blessures.

The ESPYs celebrate sports and provide a platform for athletes and teams to promote their cause. Dit jaar, Stephen Curry hosted the show while accepting Best NBA Player and Best Record-Breaking Performance awards. Klay Thompson took home Best Comeback Athlete in the ESPYs. An event is a social event that raises money for the V Foundation for Cancer Research, founded by ESPN and late basketball coach Jim Valvano.

Klay Thompson had two major injuries this season. The first injury occurred in the NBA Finals against the Toronto Raptors, while the second happened during a regular workout. After his second injury, the Warriors expected him to return in the 2020-21 seizoen. Eventueel, he did return and helped the Warriors reach the NBA Finals. They beat the Boston Celtics in six games. While Klay Thompson’s comeback is not without controversy, his success will inspire many others.
