Best Male Athlete

I think this category is tough this year as none of the atheletes really WOW'd me.

The nominee's are:
Lance Armstrong
Vince Young
Shaun Alexander
Lebron James
Albert Pujols

It's my opinion that this is Lance's award from the get-go. He's hosting the celebration on ESPN. He's the only individual athlete of the bunch which predisposes one to be the best male athlete (the others achievements can be offset by teamates).

I, for one, can't stand Lance. Sorry. I know it's probably unamerican of me. He just comes off as so very conceited. I also think people are quicker to condemn barry bonds and mark mcgwire than they are Lance Armstrong.

Shaun is a RB and i rarely consider RB's great. I figure they are product's of offensive lines.

SO it's Albert, Lebron or Vince. Albert put up crazy number but couldn't win the title. He also had a decent team around him. Lebron was the sole reason Cleveland made such a dramatic swing in performance this year. But I'm going with...

Vince Young. He seemed to be the main reason Texas took home the championship. Many games were won by him alone. I think that is what i'm looking for in male athlete of the year.
