There were plenty of winners and emotional moments at the 2016 ESPYs, from the opening speech about violence in America to Brianna Stewart’s call for equality to Craig Sager’s inspiring acceptance speech for the Jimmy V Perseverance award. One individual who especially had a big night was Chicago’s beloved Chance the Rapper, who continues to have a big year, from having a standout feature on Kanye West’s “Ultralight Beam” to putting out his third mixtape Coloring Book.
Chance The Rapper danced with Stephen Curry and paid tribute to Muhammad Ali
And since the ESPYs are meant to be a celebration of sports, Chance took a moment to treat it as such. So, he joined Stephen Curry with a “Jones BBQ and Foot Massage” song-and-dance, which is fitting because that place is based in Chicago. Also, it’s a mini reunion, since the two hung out a couple weeks prior.
Chance’s biggest moment, however, came at the end of the show. He premiered a fantastic new song that paid tribute to Muhammad Ali, filled with lyrics befitting The Greatest:
No, you’re crying.
