Justin Timberlake Ain’t No Drag at the ESPY Awards

Hey, look; it’s Justin Timberlake dressed as Daisy Duke!

What does that have to do with athletic skills? Not much. But for the 16th Annual ESPY Awards—where sports and show biz collide—it makes perfect sense.

J.T. was joined by celeb presenters such as Kiefer Sutherland, Fergie, Samuel L. Jackson and Kate Walsh.

Oh, and there was some posh-looking knobby-kneed chick there too.

Held at the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles, the Timberlake-hosted event honored excellence in sports performance over the past year (hence the full name of the award, Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly).

The honorees included $115 million golf god Tiger Woods, who took home his fifth Best Male Athlete award, along with Best Golfer and Best Championship Performance (for winning the U.S. Open) trophies.

Other statue-snagging jocks included Roger Federer (for Best Male Tennis Player), Floyd Mayweather Jr. (for Best Fighter) and Maria Sharapova (for Best Female Tennis Player).

Unfortunately, Shaquille O’Neal failed to take home the Best Rapping Athlete ESPY, mostly because it doesn’t exist.
