Don't necessarily have to be the best. Here are mine, one from every sport.

NFL - Eli Manning. The second i heard Peyton's brother was going to be in the NFL draft, i knew the Giants had to get him. I became a fan then, and have been ever since. He'll break out next year, and hopefully become a leader

NBA - Kyle Korver. I like european style of basketball, but i've always been a sixers fan. Korver is a 3 point threat, but is only a role player. The lack of a allstar on the sixers is holding him back a bit, even though he put up 31 points a few days ago.

MLB - Vladimir Guerrero. I love his swing. He can hit almost any pitch and is the funnest hitter to watch. He can send almost any pitch into the stands.

NHL - Alexander Ovechkin. He's the only reason I even slightly follow hockey. Great goal scorer and very fun to watch. He and crobsy are the future of the league.

NASCAR - Dale Jr. I rarely ever watch or follow nascar, but when and if I do, i root for Dale Jr.

You'd be right in guessing that.. Hewitt is the tennis player, Kewell the soccer pleyer, Clarke the cricketer and Minichiello the rugby league player
