Favourite players in each sport/league

[MikeRaw]

Use this thread to list your favourite players in a sport, or each sport, that you watch.
They don't even have to be from your favourite team, but just guys you like to watch play. I'm not going to limit how many you can name, but don't name every single player you like, just a few. Also, if you like, put the team they are on...

For me...

NHL:
-Luke Schenn: D/Toronto Maple Leafs
-Francois Beauchemin: D/Toronto Maple Leafs
-Mike Komisarek: D/Toronto Maple Leafs
-Mikhail Grabovski: C/Toronto Maple Leafs
-Jarome Iginla: LW or C/Calgary Flames
-Robyn Regehr: D/Calgary Flames
-Ryan Callahan: RW/NY Rangers
-Shane Doan LW/Phoenix Coyotes
-Dan Boyle D/San Jose Sharks

MLB:
-Roy Halladay: Pitcher/Toronto Blue Jays
-Aaron Hill: 2nd Base/Toronto Blue Jays
-David Wright: 3rd Base/NY Mets
-Carlos Delgado: 1st Base/NY Mets
-Johan Santana: Pitcher/NY Mets
-Joey Votto: 1st Base/Cincinnati Reds
-Vladimir Guerrero: Outfield/ Los Angeles Angles of Anaheim

NFL:
-Marshawn Lynch: RB/Buffalo Bills
-Trent Edwards: QB/Buffalo Bills
-Donovan McNabb: QB/Philadelphia Eagles (Don't like the team, don't mind him)



Keep in mind, like I said, not all of those guys are from teams I like, in fact, alot of them aren't, but that doesn't matter. Just put your favourite players, from your team or not.

[gamebreaker]

MLB:
I love watching Evan Longoria play Third Base for the Rays. He makes unbelievable catches and plays for his position. AND he is terrific when he comes to the plate to bat. AND THIS IS HIS 2ND YEAR IN THE MAJORS!
Carlos Pena impresses me every time at bat. Especially last season in the Playoffs. Him and Longoria are my favorite players on the Rays.
I also like watching Kevin Youkilis bat for the Boston Red Sox. In the ALCS last season, when he came up to bat, he always scared the s*** out of me because of his stance. He ALWAYS looks like he's gonna hit it out of the park.
Jose Reyes is another guy that I like to watch. He's got the speed and energy. He's great at both fielding and batting. He is gonna be up there when it comes to winning MVP of the NL this season.

NFL: Marshawn Lynch is a guy that I love to watch when he runs. He can break anybody's ankles and juke anybody out.
When Tampa Bay plays, I like watching Joey Galloway making these UNBELIEVEABLE catches. Then when he gets in the endzone, he always does his flexing pose.
Troy Polamalu is a fun guy to watch. He has fun on the field when he plays. He sees the ball in the air, and he goes for it. That's what I like about him. He has great hustle and he can knock a b**** out if he wants to.

NBA: Dwight Howard is my favorite guy to watch in the league right now. He grabs more than 14 rebounds a game and he knows how to stuff someone when he sees them coming. And on offense, if you feed him the ball down low, he's most likely to dunk/score.
LeBron James is also another guy I like to watch. He's the most impressive guy I've seen in the past 5 years. He's definitely a future Hall of Famer.

Other guys I like to watch:
-Ilya Kovalchuk: Atlanta Thrashers
-Chris Paul: New Orleans Hornets
-Matt Ryan: Atlanta Falcons
-Josh Beckett: Boston Red Sox
