Right about now, the boy Drake is on stage at L.A.’s Nokia Theater yupping it up with the who's who of sports as host of this year's ESPY Awards. During his opening monologue, he took cracks at Cleveland, Donald Sterling, Russell Westbrook's wardrobe, himself... and more. Then he blew in Lance Stephenson's ear. Watch that above, and then check back later for more highlights and meme-worthy moments from the show.
