Weird how the NBA scripted the nba finals to end on father daughter day after they killed kobe the father and his daughter. Also kobe bryant died on the same day as bear bryant.
So true. For those in the crowd was too sensitive to laugh but also didn't roll their eyes or sigh is because they know John is stronger & can beat their ass if they got caught doing it. One vs One or One vs All; they know Cena will still win. LOL
I didn't find him funny. He just told the truth about sport being all rigged just like sport entertainment. As if we could be immoral enough to laugh about that.
The one host in the history of the show that can say any damn thing he wants and every athlete in the room has to think twice before trying to knuckle up. Way to go Cena.
Nobody should be surprised by this. Cena is amongst the WWE's greatest MC's lol. His mic control while not exactly on par with The Rock or Hogan is whoever comparable. He knows how to create moments
that's what they like to do. They like to tell the truth while joking around. Pro Sports are scripted. Rivalries are scripted. No one is really a free agent. Championship winners are scripted. Everyone should see how Stephen Curry purposely missed shots and make bad plays in game 7.
What? is that you're excuse that steph choked in the finals huh? what about the series against okc huh? where okc was 3-1 up too? that wasn't rigged right? I'm not sure but u seem to me like salty warriors fan, just give the cavs and Lebron credit.
NoRRes97 I'm not even a Steph fan. I was a Lebron fan until this finals I find out that the NBA was Scripted. Not just rigged but scripted. It's not about being a fan. I was excited when Cleveland won actually.
Richy Man what? just because some fools say the finals are scripted u believe them? and I don't believe u that, if you were a Lebron fan you would've been even more of a fan of him after these finals, cuz he maybe played the best finals a player ever played in the history of basketball, the cavs made history and just because no team ever did what they did, it's rigged?
The rest of the world doesn't like American Sports because, in part, they are blatantly scripted, teams can't lose, they will always gain money no matter what the hell they do, if a team sucks the other 31 teams have to share its revenue with it... I mean teams share revenue WHAT THE FUCK, if your team sucks is helped by the others, WHAT?... If a team sucks it doesn't get relegated into oblivion... WHAT? In True Football the system doesn't allow a script, if your team sucks it loses money, if your team sucks is relegated to minor divisions and it could eventually disappear. Really the American Communist Sporting System is a joke, you should change it.
@@GarryG - The ill-informed people who watch are are the only people who know they really do get hurt. Others see them as the Three Stooges and think it is only a joke. It's athletic entertainment according to the New Jersey Athletic Commission.
@@davenorth8922 well people can say what they want ... literally no body cares...John Cena can lift big show and edge at the same time..dude has tremendous strength . ...well fake is just a stupid word .. they are professional athletes..by fake it simply means everyone can be WWE superstar which is just a lil odd...

One of two things would happen. 1. Paul Heyman would knock it out of the park... Or 2. Paul Heyman would promote Brock Lesnar shamelessly. Either way, I'm sold.
+Mohammed Islam lmao same thing I thought promote the beast I'm with it or destroy the crowd with a barrage of jokes I'm still with it it's a win win. book it espn jerks.
"pretty good seat Kev. I expected to see you off in the corner" this one got me. really good monologue, I love how uncomfortable it made all the shills in the room
I love you Kobe. You literally brought basketball to a kid who hated it. You made me love the sport, you give me the strength and confidence knowing if I work hard I can accomplish nearly ANYTHING I set my mind to. And I hope many other people had the same experience as I. In a weird way, I truly believe it was your time to go.
crowd was too sensitive and dead, he was hilarious
It's because of how it opened before he came out with the athletes talking about the deaths of the victims

This was prob the first time the Espy awards had a host that was the physically strongest person in the room.

So true. For those in the crowd was too sensitive to laugh but also didn't roll their eyes or sigh is because they know John is stronger & can beat their ass if they got caught doing it.
One vs One or One vs All; they know Cena will still win. LOL
For real, this guys lifting numbers are insane
What? NFL Linemen are in the room. John is also juiced, stick to the WWE kid
Man, that microphone killed it!
Cause you cant see him
Lmao
John cena
YA TIME IS UP M Y TIME IS NOWWWWWW
Damn it you beat me to the punch
Bit rude of them to have a floating suit and a microphone doing the Espys
i heard jokes from somewhere but i just really couldn't see anyone...
+elpaco25 HAHAHA
Ifwu 😂😂😂😂
Pretty nice stage shots if you ask me though :D
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holy shit. John Cena KILLED this.
I have nothing but respect for Cena, he was the perfect choice!!! One of the best mic workers ever & NOTHING phases him.
I didn't find him funny. He just told the truth about sport being all rigged just like sport entertainment. As if we could be immoral enough to laugh about that.
+Stop the Cena garbage But peoole still going to think its real
+ Nate McGraw Whatever you say. Insulting people for no reason is for sissies.
God, even when he made some jokes about Cleveland, most people were shaking their head.
The way he blended WWE and NBA is GOLDEN
Well you see, they're all one in the same...
Sports are rigged asf he broke it down with jokes
Cena is one of the most skilled person in live microphone.
The Kevin Durant joke got me! hahahaha
me too bruh
true. lol

People forget John Cena use to master in thuganomics 😂😂 I'm not even surprised he killed this monologue 🔥🔥

he's on point though! lol!
he has writers
then they showed Jim Brown i was like cmon man.
Manzel that cena killed it now it time for the Browns to get off that Tim couch .
Man, that KD jab was off-da-chain. shit was too funny. lol
hell yeah
John Cena is truly the best at most things he does. He’s so good.
John cena should do stand-up after he retires haha
Ahahaha I agree xD
Its not his jokes he had writers
+MoAB you mean like most comedians...
Then why didn't his writers deliver those jokes? Oh, it's because John Cena is BRILLIANT on the mic!
+Revenant Plague most comedians write their own content
The one host in the history of the show that can say any damn thing he wants and every athlete in the room has to think twice before trying to knuckle up. Way to go Cena.
Brock Lesnar? Lol
Guess you didn't read the part "host in the history of the show." Lesnar was never a host of the ESPYs
Paul Heyman can host and if anybody wants to Knuckle up. Hell just CALLLL BROOOOOOOOCK LESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNARRRRRRRRRRR..
+Joseph Ganata I meant Brock wouldn't hesitate to knuckle up with Cena. Remember Summer Slam?
+Krismelo Porthony wwe is fake they can't fight
I don't get it, I couldn't see the host.
what a dumb fucking meme
+chaja95 Dumb? It was pure genius my friend.
so you watch a 10:00 minute video of a stage OK that's dumb
+BombShell 2.0 2 He said that because of John Cenas "You can't see me" motto

RIP Kobe, legend
I bet in Cena's mind he was going over and over trying not to say "welcome to Monday night raw"
He'll yeah
😂😂
But he is on Smackdown.
He wasn't at the time, and plus he was on Raw for 10 plus years
Gotta give it to Cena, this was actually good.
Now, about that heel turn...
😊
Still no heel turn😒
You might get your wish when he returns after the pandemic.
Boody Jacob it will never happen John cena is a legendary pure baby face he will not turn heel 💯
@@trewilliams8411 they said the same about Hogan
@@nachogonzaga603 even doc of thugonoics which was a heel became his best character
Always said cena was right next to the rock for cutting the best promos ever. All us wwe fans will miss this guy when he is long gone. Respect
He still wrestles...
+HyperSole he said when he is long gone
There's still Jericho.. Personally, i found that Jericho and Rock is a tad better than Cena
his jokes are scripted and written out for him moron.
+Jj Cool it's all about delivery. His mic skills are top notch!
Nobody should be surprised by this. Cena is amongst the WWE's greatest MC's lol. His mic control while not exactly on par with The Rock or Hogan is whoever comparable. He knows how to create moments

don't forget punk and austin.
HOGAN....HOGAN....I can see u sayin the Rock but HOGAN...Fuck a Hogan CM Punk was better then Hogan Cena is toob
Hogan huh?
HOGAN ??? HOGAN !!!!
"Which is surprising cause the Irish aren't really known for pulling out" Cena killed it
made me proud to be a John Cena fan

John Cena: where am I?
Doctor: ICU
Cena: you can't
Oh no ..take this L fam
KEEP YA DAMN RING!
ahahahah
John Cena brought back the Doctor of Thuganomics, back!!
No, this is actually still a little tame compared to his days as the Doctor
John Cena needs his own Netflix Special. The man is a gem indeed!
P.S.: Seeing Kobe laughing makes my heart ache. We miss you and love you :(
He is indeed a gem
he needs to be at Comedy central roast
Cena on the mic is always gold.

Enzo wishes he had Koko's charisma
Bro! I was thinking the same!
He didn't come out to his theme music..

I doubt the WWE allowed them to do it.
