World's Best Athlete - My Take

Usain Bolt. He set the world record in the 100m and 200m last summer in the olympics. Not only that, he didn't even run hard all the way to the finish in the 100m. He was so far ahead he started looking around and celebrating early. He finished in 9.69 - simply amazing!

Runners-up. Michael Phelps, winner of 8 gold medals in the olympics; however, I couldn't get out of my mind that his own teammate, Jason Lezak, actually swam his leg of the 4/100 freestyle relay faster than Michael Phelps and faster than anyone had ever swum 100 meters. Michael Phelps is unbelievable, but in that moment Jason Lezak was better.

Lebron James. Oh so impressive and completely dominating, but if him, why not Kobe? Poor sportsmanship after the series loss to the Magic didn't help him either.
