Leslie Odom Jr. and Daveed Diggs did not throw away their shot on Tuesday.
The Tony-nominated actors, who play leading roles in the musical “Hamilton,” impressed the crowd at ESPN’s Upfront presentation with a co-written, sports-themed song.
Diggs, a California-native, told ESPN he is a big fan of the Golden State Warriors, Oakland Raiders, and San Francisco 49ers. Odom, however, doesn’t have any sporting affiliations.
“I’ve never really had a team that I’ve been ‘live or die’ for,” Odom told ESPN. “Sitting courtside at a basketball game – there’s not many things on earth I like more than that. They’re gladiators, and there’s a showmanship to it. There’s a performance aspect as well, which I have a kinship with and understand – but I’ve never had a team until ‘Hamilton.’ This is my first team.”
