Best Players
MLB-Albert Pujols-Saint Louis Cardinals-First Baseman
He is an annual MVP candidate, last year he won the MVP award. He didn’t waste any time this year when he hit two homeruns on opening day. He currently is leading his Cardinals to the best record in the NL. He is the fastest player to reach 300 homeruns. He currently is hitting .314 with 7 homeruns and 25 rbi’s. He has 373 career homeruns.
NFL-Peyton Manning-Indianapolis Colts-Quarterback
He led his Colts to the Super Bowl this past season and won the MVP award for the regular season. He threw for 4,500 yards, 33 touchdowns and had a near 100 QB rating. His Colts went 15-0 before dropping the last two. It wasn’t a career year for Manning but he still was the MVP that shows how dominating he truly is in the NFL.
NBA-LeBron James-Cleveland Cavaliers-Small Forwarded
The King once again was named MVP. He led his Cavaliers to the best record in the league averaging 29.7 points a game, which was good for second in the NBA. He also averaged 7.3 rebounds, 8.6 assists, and 1 block per game. He is set to get paid this coming summer when he enters free agency.
NHL-Alex Ovechkin-Washington Capitals-Left Winger
He led the Capitals to the best record in the NHL. He scored 50 goals and had 59 assists. His plus-minus ratio was 45. He was in the top five in nearly every offensive category there is in hockey. That is why they call him Alex the Great. He’s not the Great One but he is on his way to greatness.
College Sports-Tim Tebow-University of Florida-Quarterback
He is one of the most recognizable players in all of college history. He threw for 9,285 yards and 88 touchdowns and ran for 2,947 yards and 57 touchdowns. He won the 2007 Heisman and was a two time first team All American. His playing style is questionable for the NFL but was picked 25th overall by the Denver Broncos in the 2010 draft.
Underrated Players
MLB-Ryan Zimmerman-Washington Nationals-Third Baseman
With the young talent on the Nationals the Z-pack has been the cornerstone of the franchise fighting thru very long seasons and bad teams. He is a gold glove candidate every year. By far one of the top third baseman in the majors but not a household name due to the team he is on. He is currently hitting .321 with 6 homeruns and 16 rbi’s. Look for them to make some noise this year.
NFL-Philip Rivers-San Diego Chargers-Quarterback
Rivers in 2009 had a career year throwing 28 touchdowns and 4,254 yards with a 104.4 QB rating. He led the Chargers to a 13-3 record but came up short in the big game once again. He is a star in this league but with it being a quarterback league he is not at the top of the list yet.
NBA-Kevin Durant-Oklahoma City Thunder-Small Forward
He led his team to their first playoff appearance since moving to OKC. He won the scoring title this year while averaging 30.1 points per game. He also averaged nearly 8 rebounds a game. In his third full season he is coming into his own.
NHL-Ryan Miller-Buffalo Sabres-Goalie
Miller made his name on the biggest stage of them all when he led Team USA to the gold medal game. Back in the states he won 41 games in goal for the Sabres. He had a save percentage of 93 which was second in the league during the regular season. He may have made a name for himself during the Olympics but he is still on the rise.
College Sports-Gordon Hayward-Butler University-Shooting Guard
He led his Bulldogs to the National Championship in 2010, coming up just short to Duke. His team only had five losses on the season. He averaged 15.5 points, 8.5 rebounds per game and was a 83 percent free throw shooter in his sophomore season. He declared for the NBA draft on May 7th.
