Nickelodeon
has tapped Chris Paul, Houston Rockets' point guard and former NBA
All-Star MVP, to host Kids' Choice Sports 2018, the only show
where kids celebrate their favorite athletes and the year's most
unforgettable sports moments in a superstar sports showdown. Airing
Saturday, July 21, at 8:00 p.m. (ET/PT), Kids' Choice Sports 2018
will be taped live on Thursday, July 19, from Barker Hangar in Santa
Monica, Calif.
Said Chris Paul, "I grew up on Nickelodeon and now love watching it with
my kids, and I can't wait to share this experience with them. I am
honored that Nickelodeon asked me to host this year's Kids' Choice
Sportsawards. I promise to bring the fun, the slime and the most
epic stunts in Kids' Choice Sportshistory."
Since its inception in 2014, Kids' Choice Sports has garnered
some of the biggest names in sports from hosts Michael Strahan and
Russell Wilson to Legend Award recipients David Beckham, Kobe Bryant,
Derek Jeter and Michael Phelps. Over the years, the blimps have been
presented to: Laurie Hernandez, LeBron James, Rob Gronkowski, Dez
Bryant, Lindsey Vonn, Danica Patrick, Carmelo Anthony, Gabby Douglas,
Alex Morgan, Dwyane Wade, Stephen Curry, Odell Beckham Jr., Mike Trout,
Serena Williams, Usain Bolt, Simone Biles and others.
The slime-soaked celebration has also featured one-of-a-kind challenges
with top athletes from across the world of sports: U.S. Women's National
Soccer Team champions Carli Lloyd and Abby Wambach sped through the
finish line first against Golden State Warriors' Draymond Green and Klay
Thompson during a tricycle relay race (2015); DeAndre Jordan (Los
Angeles Clippers) and Andre Drummond (Detroit Pistons) scaled Slime
Mountain, battled obstacles and slid their way to victory (2017); and
Golden State teammates Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson faced off in the
Big Slime Ballers Challenge, a three-point contest where each shot
triggered slime-filled nets above kid-rebounders (2016).
