@ESPYS

@ESPYS

Standing ovation for tonight’s special honorees! Jason Collins paved the way for authenticity in professional sports and continued fighting even in his final months. Jim Abbott proved that limitations are only in our minds — his no-hitter for the Yankees still gives me chills. Scott Ruskan, a true hero who pulled 165 people from deadly floodwaters, shows the real impact athletes and first responders can make. This is what the ESPYS should always celebrate. Proud to be watching.

@ESPYS Respect to all three. True inspiration goes beyond the game.

@ESPYS Scott Ruskan saving over 160 people in a flash flood is the definition of a hero.

@ESPYS Surprised I see no comments on the total screw-up of overlaying the Spanish interpreter over the broadcast for much of the show tonight on ABC. Pathetic quality.

@ESPYS Generational Great men

@ESPYS

@ESPYS These stories remind us that true greatness isn’t only measured by trophies and records, but by the impact people leave behind. ❤️

@ESPYS Woooo good

@ESPYS

@ESPYS Love seeing people like this get the recognition they deserve.

@ESPYS Jim Abbott and Pat Tillman are two names that never need a lecture attached to them. Their stories speak for themselves. The rest of the broadcast is where ESPN usually gets itself in trouble.

@ESPYS Go dunk them off man

@ESPYS

@ESPYS Donald Trump for surviving three assassination attempts. RIP Charlie Kirk. You're sorely missed. God bless America.

@ESPYS Moments like this remind everyone that sports are bigger than the scoreboard ❤️🏆 Absolute legends.
