Stars and athletes hit up the 2008 ESPY Awards last night at the NOKIA Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Here are a few NBA-themed photos to help kill a slow Thursday afternoon, and MJD has your NFL-themed pics.

ESPY host Justin Timberlake dances onstage with creepy, cutout puppets of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Looks funny, but I'm pretty sure I already saw this Arrested Development episode.
More photos and captions follow the jump.

Scalabrine, Powe and Big Baby. AKA: the Celtics' REAL Big Three.

Exhausted from yelling expletives at Zac Effron and Anika Sorenstam, Kevin Garnett takes a quick twenty-minute nap while the rest of the Celtics show off their ESPY and ties.

Antoine Walker flashes bling; Paul Pierce flashes gang signs. Tsk tsk tsk ... when will these two ever learn?

"It's a pretty good crowd for a Wednesday, and the crowd gives Oden a smile / Cause he knows that its him they've been comin' to see, to forget about life for a while ... Oh, la la la, de de da ..."

Moments after being carried off by university softball players, Timberlake returned to the stage and performed 19 consecutive dance numbers. True story.

Carmelo Anthony and forever fiancé Lala Vazquez pose for pictures. Apparently, Melo's white suit was in honor of Dan Issel's pasty white calves.

Straight form the Guinness Book of World Records pages: WNBA athlete Lisa Leslie and driver Danica Patrick talk weather on the red carpet.
