ESPYS 2012 Winners: Complete List of Prized Athletes

The 20th Annual ESPYS Award show brought the biggest names in sports together to honor one-another under one roof.

In last night ESPYS, two athletes came up big winning more than one award trophy.

LeBron James, who won his first NBA title this year with the Miami Heat, was voted Male Athlete of the Year, and also took home an ESPY for Championship Performance of the Year.

James wasn't on hand to receive his awards due to him being in Las Vegas with the rest of the U.S. national team preparing for the London Olympics.

James' team, the Miami Heat, were honored as the Team of the Year for their NBA title over the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Baylor All-American and NCAA champion Brittney Griner was honored as the Female Athlete of the Year, as well as Female College Athlete of the Year.
