“I’m the second NBA player to host this award show, which is kind of crazy to think about,” Curry explained. “LeBron James, he hosted this award show back in 2007, after losing in the NBA Finals,” he said. His jokes were loved by fans as he stood up to the expectations they had of him.
“So yes, you guessed it, this feels better, this feels better.” In addition to hosting the award show, he was nominated three times. Among these are the Best Athlete, Men’s Sports; the Best Record-Breaking Performance; and the Best NBA Player.
Other NBA stars like Luka Doncic, Joel Embiid, and Nikola Jokic competed against him in the nomination category for Best NBA Player. As for the award for the best men’s athlete, he competed against Aaron Rodgers of the NFL, Shohei Ohtani of the MLB, and Connor McDavid of the NHL.
It was interesting to see Curry dedicate his success to one person at the start of the show. The one person who has supported him through thick and thin, his wife Ayesha Curry.
