Who the f*** are these people?

I’d probably swap Johnny ham and cheese with Giordano, but otherwise the pecking order seems good with the nhlers.

 

[President of Hockey]

The top athlete in my city is freaking Zach Hamill

 

[MattMartin]

This is back when we had a relevant program

I have more faith in the Rangers than Syracuse Lacrosse at this point.

[Note Worthy]

Think you could make an argument for Binnington.

I love Binnington but it seemed a little premature.

 

[Hogan20]

[Josepho]

I'd be very curious to see one for the SF area.

I don't know shit about the Lions or Whitecaps so there's zero point in doing one for Vancouver. It'd probably mostly be our overwatch team.

 

[Machinehead]

BTW I was talking HS lol. Elmont.

Long Island, NY, the factory of lacrosse.

Taurasi?

I just looked her up, and it sounds like she belongs ahead of half of that group.

I don't follow the NBA, much less the WNBA, and I bet that 8 of 10 Phoenicians wouldn't recognize the name Diana Taurasi.

 

[hoglund]

I live in Hamilton, so Brandon Banks of the Tiger Cats.

 

[57special]

In no particular order;
Harrison Smith
Stefon Diggs
Adam Thielen
Maya Moore
Byron Buxton
Jose Berrios
Ryan Suter
Karl Anthony Towns
Jared Spurgeon


Max Kepler/Jorge Polanco/Eddie Rosario/Matt Dumba have all shown promise, but not yet established themselves with years of production. Buxton probably belongs in that category too, but his athleticism is off the charts. Others like Parise, Staal and Koivu are past their due date, but have been top 10 players in the past.

 

[MD93]

Anaheim:

1. Mike Trout


No one else is close really.

 

[GordonGecko]

1) Ezekiel Elliott
2) Tyler Seguin
3) Luka Doncic
4) Amari Cooper
5) Joey Gallo
6) Joe Pavelski
7) Kristaps Porzingis
8) Dak Prescott
9) Leighton Vander Esch
10) Miro Heiskanen

Sequin is more famous than Dak Prescott ?

 

[Riddum]

Wayne Rooney is more popular worldwide than all thoses guys put together.

I disagree. Look at the Google trends in the past 2 years for example.

Raonic? How does he play for Toronto?

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2017-07-16 2019-07-16&q=Wayne Rooney,/m/038ngr

Look at how many followers they have on Twitter :

Ovechkin: 2,6M
Rooney : 17M
Scherzer : 0.3M
Strasburg : 0.1M
Backstrom : 0.1M
Holtby : 0.07M
Wall : 1,8M
Beal : 0.4M

It’s not even remotely close.

Raonic? How does he play for Toronto?

Grew up in Brampton so he gets a lot of media attention

I guess you could put Stroman instead?

I just don't think athletes in non-team sports really apply to this, regardless of where they are form.
