  • Basketball: point guard, 86

    Low center of gravity, dribble on a string, sees the pass before it exists. He would be at home in any point guard's highlight reel.

    Plays like: A dribble wizard who makes everyone better

  • Hockey: center, 93

    A World Cup winner with a record haul of Ballon d'Or awards and a low center of gravity that defenders never solve. A center who carries the puck through three players and slides the pass to the open man.

    Plays like: A dangler who sees every lane

  • Soccer: winger, 98

    A World Cup winner with a record haul of Ballon d'Or awards, cutting in from the right onto his left foot for two decades. The best dribbler in the cast, and the defenders know it.

    Plays like: An inverted winger nobody can stop

  • Baseball: second base, 90

    A World Cup winner whose low center of gravity defenders never solve. A second baseman with soft hands, a short quick swing and a knack for slipping a single through any gap.

    Plays like: A contact hitter who finds every hole

  • Golf: golfer, 85

    A World Cup winner with a low center of gravity and a delicate left foot. In golf that is a short game artist who gets up and down from anywhere.

    Plays like: A wizard around the greens
