Football: Tom Brady. He has led his team to four out of the past ten Superbowls and has won three of them. Normally Superbowls and wins don't equate to an individual player, but when the list of the most dominant is so close, wins and Superbowls end up being the tiebreaker
Runners Up: Peyton Manning, LaDanian Tomlinson
Baseball: Albert Pujols. Arguably the best player in baseball right now and hits 30+ HRs like clockwork since his rookie year in 2001. He's won 3 NL MVPs, ROY in 2001, and a WS in 2006.
Runners Up: A-Rod, Johan Santana, Barry Bonds
Basketball: Kobe Bryant. Won 4 Finals this decade (plus another appearance) and won his first MVP this last season.
Runners Up: LeBron James, Dewayne Wade, Shaquille O'Neil
Hockey: Jarimir Jagr. I fully admit I know nothing about hockey so I'll defer to TBO's judgment.
Runners Up: Martin Brodeur, Nicklas Lidstrom
College Football: Tim Tebow. One of the best college players of all time, won two National Championships, a Heisman trophy and a finalist two other times
Runners Up: Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush
College Basketball: Tyler Hansbrough. Despite the fact he looks Reche Caldwell dropping a pass from Tom Brady all the time, he still spent four year in college and became the ACC's leading scorer, became Player of the Year and won a National Championship last year.
Runners Up: Shane Battier, J.J. Reddick
Olympian: Michael Phelps. We all know his amazingness in the 2008 Olympics but was also amazing during the 2004 ones as well.
Tennis: Roger Federer
Golfer: Tiger Woods. I feel so bad for this dude. He's gonna lose his amazing hot wife and maybe will not golf anymore so now he has to sit back on millions doing three girls at once while people talk about he's the best golfer in the world.
Biker: Lance Armstrong
You seem to have gotten it right, except for the one sport you know nothing about, hockey.
ReplyDeletePersonally i would rank it Jarimir Jagr, Lidstrom, Brodeur
Also, Kobe won 4 this decade, in 2000 not 1999(Spurs), as did Shaq and i would put Shaq as the most dominant of the decade. Shaq, Kobe, Duncan
Best wrestler of the decade...The Rock
I'll defer to your judgment about hockey.
ReplyDeleteI think you can make a fanastic argument for Shaq and him and Kobe are so close, but I still say Kobe because 1) Shaq has sucked towards to end of this decade 2) Kobe has one more Finals appearance than Shaq. But it's so close
For the NBA I think Steve Nash should be on the list. He won Two MVP's. This isn't like baseball where there is two, there is only one so that is impressive. Plus he is one of the best point guards of all times, and the best in the last decade. he is one of the best NBA players and makes his entire team better.
ReplyDeleteWell I have to admit it, they are really good looking, all of them and excellent sportsman, the one I admire must it's Federer this guy It's just amazing for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, excellent post.
