Favorite Athletes (By Sport and must be actively playing.)

Ahdharr · 03-10-2008, 01:39 AM

I decided to make this thread since it has been a while since we've had a serious Sports discussion in here.
To avoid confusion I'm going to limit to these leagues in each sport so we don't have to discuss anything else. No exceptions...
Hockey (NHL/AHL/ECHL only.)
Football (NFL/AFL only.)
Basketball: (NBA only.)
Baseball: (MLB Only.)
Soccer: Give teams city, country, name, and league in the English language version. (MLS / MISL / UCL / Spanish La Liga / German Bundesliga 1 & 2 / Italian Serie A /French Ligue A)
Tennis: (World Top rank competions US Open, etc. Federer, Rod****, and Nadal play in it...)
Golf (PGA, Tiger Woods and the rest.)

Ahdharr's Picks
Hockey: Teemu Selanne of the Anaheim Ducks in the NHL.
Football: Either Donald Driver (WR Green Bay), Ryan Grant (RB Green Bay), or Aaron Kampman (DE Green Bay).
Basketball: Steve Nash (PHX Suns)
Baseball: Ben Sheets (SP Milwaukee Brewers), Prince Fielder (1B MIL Brewers), or Jeff Suppan (SP MIL Brewers).
Soccer: None. None of the players I followed on the US National Men and Women teams in the late 90's and 2000's play anymore.
Tennis: Tough call. Would have Been Andre had he not retired, Andy Rod**** (USA).
Golf: Tiger Woods.

Well my favorite is Robin Van Persie of Holland. He plays for Arsenal in London. Arsenal is one of the big four in the BARCLAYS ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE. He is my favorite because first of all he is a striker just like me, and he has that awesome powerful left foot which he uses for fantastic free kicks. Lately he has had a worriesome injury that has prevented him from becoming one of the best strikers this season. Hopefully next season, he stamps a claim on that name.
