The 25th ESPY Awards, hosted by Peyton Manning, started off with the acknowledgement of some of the world’s biggest sports stars along with a few jokes here and there.
Everyone was comfortable until Manning took a stab at Golden State’s Kevin Durant.
The crowd erupted with laughter when Manning mentioned Durant’s move to join the Warriors in order to win an NBA title. Everyone laughed (even Durant’s mother), but he didn’t find it funny.
