Sports talk. Athletes. Highlights from the most amazing moments in sports. Justin Timberlake hosting, dancing, singing and telling funny jokes-yes, funny ones. Lupe Fiasco performing songs with a live band in between award presentations. A post-party with open bar, buffet, stunts, and dancing. It's like Las Vegas, two concerts, the X Games and Prom all in one night. You'll see for yourself when the show airs on Sunday, July 20 at 9PM ET on ESPN.

Big thanks to the "Worldwide Leader in Sports" for accommodating Kallusive and letting a sports fanatic and Justin Timberlake groupie like me get within striking distance at the ESPY Awards. :)

So, I wasn't invited to claim my ESPY for biggest Lakers bandwagon fan though I would have proudly accepted it. Instead, ESPN wanted to add some dancing to the mix.

There was only one team I knew of that could rock a 100'x20' stage, so a phone call was made...

And yesterday, the big day...

the location - LA Live Event Deck

Kaba Modern Legacy and some of the dancers from ABDC came through to perform. Popping, locking, b-boyin' and b-girlin', and amazing choreography (a 15 minute performance... DAMN!)
