2019 ESPYS Winners List & Red Carpet Photo Round-Up

The 2019 ESPYs have come and gone, but the party wasn’t without its moments. Some of our favorite athletes came together at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles to celebrate each other’s accomplishments as a few hoped to take home a trophy or two of their own. For the second time this week, the United States Women’s National Soccer Team took home a trophy as they won both the Women’s World Cup and Best Team at the ESPYs.

Milwaukee Bucks star player Giannis Antetokounmpo recently was named the MVP at the NBA Awards, so it wasn’t surprising that he was bestowed the trophies for Best Male Athlete and Best NBA Player. United States Women’s National Soccer Team player Alex Morgan was named Best Female Athlete and was the only member of her team to win an award as a single person.

Best Female Tennis Player went to Serena Williams while Best WNBA Player was given to the Seattle Storm’s Breanna Stewart. There are also a number of “Best Moments” on the list, so make sure to check those out along with the other winners and let us know if the deserving players were recognized.

Meanwhile, the red carpet was abuzz with celebrities, including Russell Wilson, Ciara, Dwight Howard, Odell Beckham Jr., Sugar Ray Leonard, Lonzo Ball, Takeoff, Quavo, Usher, Stephon Gilmore, Paul Pierce, and many more.
