The 2016 ESPYS are over, but the show was full of heart-wrenching and hilarious moments. In between the stories of tragedy and triumph were the awards given to the sports elite. Some of the night’s biggest winners were LeBron James, who won the Best Male Athlete Award, and Steph Curry, who won the Best Record-Breaking Performance for the 402 regular season three-pointers, which shattered the single-season record Steph had set for himself the previous season. The Golden State Warriors star also had the most winningest season in NBA history.
