Top 10 Swag Team

Throughout the last decade, athletes in all sports have been judged less by their on field performance and more by their general swagger. An athlete with swag doesn't just produce on the field, he dominates with style, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind that he is the best on the field of play. An athletic swag machine doesn't over celebrate, but always looks cool in whatever they do. So without further ado, I present to you. The Swag Team

10. Manny Ramirez

Not many players could be suspended for 50 games and remain as loved by the fans as Manny has. His constant shenanigans and his uncanny hitting ability make his mischievous swagger one that can't be rivaled. A change of coast and that nice California tan has nudged this slugger with swagger into the top 10

9. Alexander Ovechkin

From the first game after the lockout, Alex left no doubt in anyone's mind that he is better than Crosby. His ridiculous goals and swagalicious celebrations leave little to be desired. After butting heads with the Pittsburgh center, Ovechkin has proved, over the last 2 years, that he is the most consistent, productive, and swagtastic player in the NHL.

8. Brian Dawkins

One look at Brian Dawkins at Quarterbacks wet their pants. Dawkins is a terrifying force on the field, and an eloquent swag-artist off of it. He always looks fresh, on and off the field. I have never seen an NFL player rock the accessories the way Dawkins does. He has the muscle tone of a Greek god and the attitude of an Italian mob boss. Brian Dawkins does what he wants, and he's never gonna stop.

7. David Beckham

There's an athlete on a billboard 60 feet high in New York City plastered onto an Emporio Armani ad, and it's a SOCCER player? Yes, Becks ham is adored by all of the women walking through Manhattan and making absolute bank on the other coast. With his football (err soccer) magic and his super hot wife, Becks grabs the number 6 spot on the Swag List. His wife doesn't matter though, If you had your junk 10 feet high on a billboard you could play Scrabble and still make this list.

6. Lebron James

Best player in basketball. Period. If you are the NBA's best you are bound to have some swagger, but Lebron's swag is not as high as it should be right now. Other than the patented dust toss, Lebron rarely does anything with very much swagger. His interviews are done professionally, yet sometimes very boring. In the coming years, this superstar has to get some super swag to jump up on this list.

5. Kobe Bryant

Kobe's on court cool and pop culture ubiquity snag him the top 5 spot.

Kobe has finally won a championship on his own, with his team, and his swagger. Kids want to wear his shoes, buy his jersey, and hang his poster on the wall. His killer badger face and his hunger for victory is only surpassed by his presence in the media. Spike Lee's film "Kobe: Doin' Work" is shown regularly on ESPN and Lil Wayne even made a hit rap song called "Kobe Bryant."

Ok, it's over, you can't say anything else after having a Wayne song named after you. Good work Kobe

4. Fernando Torres

OK... 1 out of 10 of you will know who this man With a name that rolls off the tongue and the attitude of a Hollyywood superstud, Fernando Torres comes in at number 6.

One of the best footballers in the world, this Spanish international and Liverpool striker scores goals in bunches, and has the killer instinct and swag of a true champion. For those of you who do not believe a European footballer should be 4th on the swag list, watch this...

I challenge you to find a clip in their where FT9 is showing any signs of not having swagger coming out of his ears. I would of put him higher, except i was afraid of public uproar.

Fernando Torres= Swag Machine

3. Derek Jeter

The Captain has had a one-of-a-kind swagger since entering the Majors in 1996. Derek is a fearless leader, good teammate, and scrappy ballplayer that earns respect from people outside of the sporting world. Derek remains the best looking athlete in a uniform I have ever seen. His shoes are always shiny, his uniform is always tucked in perfectly, and the Jumpman logo's on his armband are always showing when he's at the plate. Derek's humble attitude, good looks, (and the fact that he dated Mariah Carey) send him to number 3 on our list.

2. Usain Bolt

Usain Bolt could quite possibly be the most appropriately named human being on earth (sorry, Megan Fox.) Bolt has sped through the record books at an earth-shattering pace since the Beijing Olympics. His chest bumping, thunder-bolting ,attitude makes him the most embraceable track star of all time, and number 2 on the Swag list.

Dwyane Wade

D-Wade's got so much swag it hurts. When he's playing, he's got the go-for-broke, fall 7 stand up 8 attitude that America loves out of their ballers. He can capture an entire arena with one leap and break down a defense with one spin.

When he's not playing Wade is also a bonafide Swag Champ. Who else on earth could make wearing a band-aid on your face look cool. Dwyane did. He's also easily the best dressed dude in sports, always sporting fly hats, fresh shades, and an Armani jacket.

The 2009 Swag Trophy goes to Dwyane Wade, and may he continue to Swagger through the NBA as his season begins tonight.

What do you think?

Anyone you would have liked to see on the list, anyone you think should not have been on it? We all make mistakes, Comment the suggestions and i'll tell you why i didn't put them on the list. Hey, I might have just flat out forgotten a swag machine, we're all human.

All of the athletes in the world better step their game up, cause i'm ranking their swag, and they don't want to be left out next year.
