Actress, Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four) presented the “2012 SI KIDS SPORTSKIDS OF THE YEAR” award to Cayden and Conner Long, who have inspired people with their story of brotherly love as they compete across the country as a team in multiple races and triathlons even though Cayden was born with cerebral palsy.



The top GAME awards of the night went to “HE’S GOT GAME” winner LeBron James (Miami Heat) and “SHE’S GOT GAME” winner Gabby Douglas (Olympic gold medalist).



Victor Cruz (New York Giants) and hosts Shaquille O’Neal and Nick Cannon had a “Gangnam Style” dance off with “MOST AWESOME MASCOT” nominees before awarding Rocky (Denver Nuggets Mascot) for his smooth moves. The Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. women’s gymnastics team proved to be golden again taking home the coveted “WE GOT GAME” team award.
