There really has not been a clear cut best like in the past when we had MJ in the NBA or Tiger in golf. I don't watch but a few sports, like football, baseball and basketball. But the name I heard the most about was Samone Biles the gymnast. She has had a incredible run for sure. As far as in the sports I watch I would have to say Lamar Jackson in the NFL. I would also like to throw a NBA player in the talking point even though I don't watch a lot. James Harden had been a beast for the Houston Rockets. He is the leading scorer in the NBA by a wide margin, and has the last couple of years. Only reason he don't get more attention is because of LeBron. Everyone is all over that guy.
