The 5th Annual Kids' Choice Sports was held on July 19, 2018, at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California, and was broadcast one day later on July 20 (originally scheduled to be broadcast on July 21, but was moved ahead by one day). Houston Rockets' point guard and former NBA All-Star MVP, Chris Paul hosted the show.
Events and Stunts[]
Michael Strahan hosted a dance off between Mikaela Shiffrin, P.K. Subban, P.J Tucker and Ibtihaj Muhammad.
Two children were tasked with making free-throws with basketballs. Adjacent to each hoop was a massive dunk tank filled with green slime, with basketball stars Candace Parker and Isaiah Thomas positioned above the tanks. Whichever child hit the most shots would cause the star adjacent to their basket to fall into the slime. This resulted in Parker being dunked, submerged, and totally covered in the slime.
JoJo Siwa hosted a throwing accuracy challenge between, Alex Shibutani, Maia Shibutani, Shaun White and Chloe Kim that would result in a Knight Squad cast member being dunked into the slime tanks.
Marc Summers and Liza Koshy held a game of Double Dare between host Chris Paul and Michael Phelps.
