Highlights from the stage:

• Barry Bonds, in a moving moment, dedicated his trophy to his mother, saying: “She’s the one who took me to little league and made me play baseball… So this trophy, mom, has your name on it.”

• Wayne Gretzky reflected on the heart of sports, sharing: “We don’t play to win awards for helping people… The greatest thing about sports is the people.”

• Magic Johnson praised the Pump brothers for honoring their parents’ legacy, reminding the audience: “A lot of times we forget that our parents helped us achieve our goals and dreams.”
