ESPN unveils ESPY nominations

July 01, 2008 There's stiff competition in the best-game category, which also includes the Boston Red Sox's sweep of the Colorado Rockies to win its second World Series in four years; the Boston Celtics' recent championship against the Lakers in the NBA Finals; Kansas men's basketball and Tennessee women's basketball, which won the NCAA championships; and the Detroit Red Wings that recently won the Stanley Cup. Nominated for best moment is Jon Lester's May 19, 2008, no-hitter that took place a year after he returned to the Red Sox from cancer treatment; Danica Patrick's win of the Indy Japan 300; and the Central Washington University's sportsmanship when members of the team carried Western Oregon University's Sara Tucolsky around the bases after she collapsed in a playoff game. Best game nominees other than the Giants are the Celtics' come-from-behind victory against the Lakers plus the Kansas-Memphis OT game.
