As it turned out, The ESPYs benefitted from having Steph Curry in the building as host because the superstar picked up an armful of awards tonight in Hollywood including best NBA player, best record-breaking performance for most 3-pointers made in league history and a group trophy for best team for his Golden State Warriors.

The ESPYs, presented by Capital One, aired live on ABC from Hollywood’s Dolby Theater, and during the show, a total of eight awards were handed out from more than three dozen categories including the team and the record-breaking performance trophies.

Other winners in televised categories included Los Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani (best athlete, men’s sports), swimmer Katie Ledecky (best athlete, women’s sports), skier Eileen Gu (best breakthrough athlete), Los Angeles Rams star Cooper Kupp (best championship performance), Curry’s Golden State Warriors teammate Klay Thompson (best comeback athlete), soccer star Megan Rapinoe (best play), and St. Louis Cardinals star Albert Pujols (Muhammad Ali Sports Humanitarian Award).

Ohtani was a double winner as the Angels pitcher also earned a prize for best MLB player. Other winners included LAFC’s Carlos Vela for best MLS player, Chicago Sky’s Candace Parker for best WNBA player, Green Bay Packers superstar Aaron Rodgers for best NFL player, Edmonton Oilers’ Connor McDavid for best NHL player; tennis great Rafael Nadal picked up best athlete, men’s tennis, while Emma Raducanu earned the trophy on the women’s side.

Curry, coming off a fourth NBA championship for the Golden State Warriors, flexed his comedy chops as well. In his opening monologue, he referenced such sports superstars as Tom Brady and LeBron James, even getting in a subtle dig at the latter. “I am the second NBA player to host this awards show, which is kind of crazy to think about,” Curry noted. “LeBron James, he hosted this awards show back in 2007 after losing in the NBA Finals. So, yes, you guessed it, this feels better.”

Country music star Mickey Guyton performed, and presenters included Odell Beckham Jr., Mookie Betts, John Boyega, Alison Brie, Ciara, Dany Garcia, Heidi Gardner, Jon Hamm, Lil Rel Howery, Lil Wayne, Billie Jean King, Derek Jeter, Dwayne Johnson, Travis Kelce, Simu Liu, Aubrey Plaza, Trevante Rhodes, Aaron Rodgers, Hannah Waddingham, Russell Wilson and more.
