The Best Athletes of the '00s

So my pick for the "Best Athlete of the '00s" has ended the decade as a punchline, but better to be caught cheating with women than with steroids, for the latter makes one ineligible for my list (hence, no A-Rod, Bonds nor Clemens).

1. Tiger Woods
2. Albert Pujols
3. Michael Phelps
4. Tom Brady
5. Roger Federer
6. Kobe Bryant
7. Lance Armstrong
8. Jimmie Johnson
9. Venus Williams/Serena Williams
10. Manny Pacquiao

Honorable Mention:

Sidney Crosby, Ronaldinho, Usain Bolt, Peyton Manning, Mariano Rivera, Floyd Mayweather, LaDanian Tomlinson, LeBron James, Tim Tebow, David Beckham
