ESPY Awards 2015: List of Known Presenters for Wednesday's Show
The 2015 ESPY Awards are about celebrating the best in sports. Awards will be given out to the best individual performer, best team and nearly every other category imaginable across the United States' umpteen sports leagues and events.
Of course, it also doesn't hurt that the ESPYs are a celebrity-filled extravaganza that takes full advantage of its Los Angeles environment.
Comedian Joel McHale, best known for his role as Jeff Winger on Community and as the host of The Soup on E!, will host the festivities. McHale will be tasked with following up a sensational performance from Drake last year; there might not be anything that will ever top the combination of discomfort and hilarity that was "Side Pieces."

"All I care about is if the jokes are funny," McHale told Beth Harris of the Associated Press (via ABC News). "It could be an edgy joke or it could be a family affair."
Luckily, McHale will have a star-studded group of presenters flanking him. LeBron James, Ed Helms, Danica Patrick, Andre Iguodala, Vince Vaughn, Britney Spears, Kiefer Sutherland and J.J. Watt lead a star-studded group that melds the entertainment and sports world, per ESPN MediaZone.
There will also undoubtedly be a few surprises that won't come out until Wednesday night; ESPN is already promoting Derek Jeter, Dez Bryant and Mo'ne Davis among others who will be attending the show in a non-presenter capacity.
The show will also feature a trio of predetermined awards, each drawing varying levels of national attention.
| Presenter | Description |
| LeBron James | NBA Player |
| Britney Spears | Singer |
| Vince Vaughn | Actor |
| Ed Helms | Actor |
| Danica Patrick | NASCAR Driver |
| Andre Iguodala | NBA Player |
| Kiefer Sutherland | Actor |
| J.J. Watt | NFL Player |
| Mike Epps | Actor |
| Chris Long | NFL Player |
| Julie Foudy | Retired Soccer Player |
Caitlyn Jenner, who revealed her transgender identity earlier this year, will receive the Arthur Ashe Courage Award. The winner of the 1976 gold medal for the decathlon, she will be the third straight LGBT winner of the Arthur Ashe Award. Former Missouri defensive end Michael Sam and broadcaster Robin Roberts won in 2014 and 2013, respectively.
"Some people don't think it's courageous and some people do think it's courageous what she has done—and I'm in the courageous boat," McHale told Access Hollywood. "I believe that she is deserving."
Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle Devon Still and his daughter, Leah, are scheduled to receive the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance. Doctors diagnosed Leah Still with stage 4 neuroblastoma in June of last year, and the league-wide support of the Still family was one of the best stories of the 2014 season. Unfortunately, Leah will miss the event.
"We are short one princess but unfortunately the doctors didn't give her the OK because her immune system is still weak," Still wrote on Instagram. "She told me to hold it down for us on that stage so that's what I'm going to do!"
Officials also named former Notre Dame women's basketball player Danielle Green the recipient of the Pat Tillman Award, which honors athletes who served in one of the U.S. military branches. Green lost her lower left arm while serving in Iraq.
All other awards remain up to a vote by the general populous. ESPN is keeping the polls open until 8 p.m. ET, so anything can happen between now and showtime.
