On Monday night, LeBron James was honored with Sports Illustrated’s Sportsperson of the Year Award. Jay Z presented James with the award, praising the NBA star for his integrity on and off the court. Kendrick Lamar was also in the building for the ceremony and took the stage at one point to perform his untitled unmastered. cut "Levitate."
