Robin Roberts was honored at Wednesday’s ESPY Awards with the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage.
LeBron James paid tribute to the “Good Morning America” anchor, who bravely underwent a bone marrow transplant last fall, and First Lady Michelle Obama feted the journalist via video.
In her acceptance speech, Roberts — a former ESPN sportscaster — spoke about how grateful she is for the support she’s received, lauded her sister for being her stem cell donor, and became emotional as she encouraged others to get tested.
