The Best Athlete of The Decade: Sidney Crosby


By Griffin

Pittsburgh Penguins star Sydney Crosby is the best hockey player of the last 10 years. He is not only the best hockey player, he is also the best athlete, making his teammates better by passing to them.

His great passing skills have led to him once leading the NHL in assists, and twice leading the NHL in total points. He led his team to winning the Stanley Cup Finals in 2009, and is a great teammate. He has led the league in points per game in four different seasons. He has won one Olympic Gold Medal as a member of team Canada.

Sidney Crosby is better than LeBron James because hockey is a harder sport, with everybody checking you, and with the goalie covering up three-quarters of the net. In basketball, there is no goalie, and checking or shoving is a foul. Also, in hockey, you can't use your hands, only your stick, and skating is harder than running, so that means Crosby is more skilled. He was 19 years old when he won the MVP award, which tied him with Wayne Gretzky for the youngest MVP winner in NHL history. LeBron James has won four MVP awards, but Crosby was much younger when he won.
