Male athlete of the year? I don’t need a cross-sport ranking of athletic men based on subjective criteria. This is so lame. No. Don’t make this a thing.
The comments are just an avalanche of Lebron love. The whole attitude of "only Lebron and Golden State matter, the rest of sports is irrelevant" has always turned me off from the NBA, but it has reached a fever pitch. I figured more people would be irritated that there's no parity in the NBA and we keep seeing the same two teams in the finals (with one team clearly being majorly outclassed.) Then, this new narrative of "Lebron > Harden because he carried a team to the finals [****in the east....] and Harden choked without CP3" is really putting it over the top. NBA fans are dumb as rocks. Now that I got that rant out of the way.... I like Ovechkin a lot and everyone here doesn't care about hockey. So I'll take the unpopular pick: Ovie!
Votes wise Jose Altuve and James Harden are canceling each other. Total would've been 47 percent right now, over Alexander
They put Altuve and Harden in the poll together to split the Houston vote so Brady will win. @Os Trigonum
Ovechkin will win easily and it's not because he's well known or has a huge fanbase, it's because he's become a popular meme. People don't take voting seriously anymore and everything gets meme'd to the top (see Trump).
