Who is the best professional athlete currently playing any sport?
A good case could be made for the one and only "Non Faker Laker" Kobe the "Viper" "B" ....
---> AKA The "Mamba", AKA "Closer", AKA "Best in BIZ Ball", AKA "Dunkin' another DONUT", AKA ------->...OK, so I made up the last 2, but he is nonetheless spectacular.
It's hard to compare athletes in different sports. But Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, Derrick Rose, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Chris Johnson, Sydney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin, Albert Pujols, Roy Halladay, Adrian Peterson, Dwayne Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Robinson Cano, Joe Mauer, Michael Phelps, Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Maya Moore, Shaun White, Josh Hamilton, Miguel Cabrera, Ichiro Suzuki, C.C Sabathia, Mariano Rivera, Dwight Howard, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Nicklas Backstrom, Ryan Miller, Pau Gasol.
It's tough to answer this because right now I want to say Derek Jeter, although he's not the best performing, he's still the best all around player. The way he keeps his team together, the way he always performs amazing feats under pressure, and the way he is very modest when it comes down to things, he is the best all around professional athlete to me.
Lebron is a joke, he doesn't have the class that Jeter has.

Do you care whether or not professional athletes take performance enhancing drugs?I don't. It's supposed to be a larger than life spectacle.
