After Stephen Curry was given the unanimous Most Valuable Player vote in the NBA earlier this week, I thought it was high time to vote for the most exciting player in each sport. Some might even get two votes. Some might even see a team voted for. NFLOdell Beckham Jr (New York Giants) Even Beckhams cleats are exciting... The first time I really experienced Beckham Jr, he was playing college at Louisiana State, and he caught a kick-off one-handed. It was one of the most incredible things Ive ever seen. I turned to my neighbour and said: Did you just see that? Of course, my neighbour was too busy chatting to someone else to witness that act of NFL Godliness. Anyway, a year later and he was the most exciting thing in the New York Giants team and maybe the whole of the NFL, catching one-handed grabs out of nowhere and generally looking like Superman and Spiderman. I think they called him Beckham, Man!JJ Watt (Houston Texans) J.J. Watt is the Texans star man Love him or hate him, heres one thing thats undoubted: Watt is the best defensive player in the NFL. Hes certainly the most exciting. Offensive linesmen dont know how to deal with him. No-one knows. Hes brilliant, durable, and heres the big thing: It doesnt matter how many offensive superstars they have in Houston. JJ Watts still the top player. NBALeBron James (Cleveland Cavaliers) LeBron James has been forced to share the limelight with Curry If you want an alternative to Curry, then why not James? Because there is nothing more exhilarating - whether youre watching him on TV or youre watching in the flesh - than saying: Im watching the new Michael Jordan.Golden State Warriors Stephen Currys Warriors won last years championship If you like teams dropping three pointers like its going out of fashion, then the Warriors are your team. If you want a team thats a walking heart attack every play-off game, go for either the San Antonio Spurs or Oklahoma Thunder. Who are playing each other.MLBNoah Syndergaard (New York Mets) Noah Syndergaard is the MLBs most exciting pitcher Nicknamed Thor by his teammates, this pitcher is a strikeout machine who makes opposition batters shake their heads after facing his filthy slider ball. Already with nearly 50 strikeouts this season, hes going to be something special for years to come. Have fun facing him, folks.Bryce Harper (Washington Nationals) Bryce Harper has a reputation for massive hitting Harper has taken the game by the throat since he first came on base in 2012. Lately, the hitter has been imploring the powers-that-be (and quite possibly mocking Mr Donald Trump) to make baseball fun again - and theres nothing not fun about the way he plays the game.He plays it with all the emotion in the world, whether its hitting, running, or yelling: Are you kidding me? at an umpire… and then getting thrown out of a game [hes subsequently appealed that].But Harper is making baseball a lot of fun to watch, and one thing I beg of the Washington Nationals: Get some hitting around Harper, will you? Otherwise baseball will be boring - quickly!Chicago Cubs Chicago Cubs inconsistency makes them exciting Theres no team having more fun and being more exciting than the Cubs, who are on a tear at the moment, starting the season by winning 25 out of their first 32 games. This team is awesome at hitting the long ball, and bearing in mind they havent won a World Series in over 100 years, they are also catching the imagination, too.

The veteran core remains intact and, for now, only two newcomers -- one on offence and one on defence -- have won jobs as starters. But the Lions have made several significant changes since they placed first in the West Division with a 13-5 mark and were upset in the 2012 West final by the Calgary Stampeders. "Theres a lot of different kinds of mixes, and its an entirely different team," said coach Mike Benevides. Most of the changes involve holdovers assuming new and expanded roles, including new positions, as Benevides and general manager Wally Buono follow through on their plan to make the team younger and stronger. "Right now, if I have to look at it and be honest, we have greater depth," said Benevides. "Theres more depth than we know about." The most prominent changes are on offence, where second-year quarterback Thomas DeMarco will back up starter Travis Lulay. DeMarco assumes Mike Reillys former backup role following his trade to Edmonton as a result of Lulays new contract. The Lions have also brought in former Winnipeg Blue Bomber Joey Elliott as quarterbacking insurance. In other prominent offensive revisions, slotbacks Nick Moore and Courtney Taylor replace all-time leading CFL receiver Geroy Simon (traded to Saskatchewan) and Arland Bruce (released and signed by Montreal). Wide receiver Emmanuel Arceneaux returns after two years in the NFL, giving the Lions a deep threat that they have lacked. Other changes on offence are less eye-catching but still significant because they involve an offensive line that was decimated by injuries at the guard position last season. Rookie Kirby Fabien, previously a tackle who was chosen seventh overall in the 2012 CFL draft but returned to the University of Calgary for another season, will start at right guard while Patrick Kabongo, 33, gets the call at left guard. Matt Norman, a second-year guard who is being groomed as Angus Reids eventual replacement at centre, could start the season in the middle as the veteran recuperates from a back injury. Norman is slated to move to the starting left guard spot once Reid is healthy. On defence, things are likely to be less animated following eccentric lineman Khalif Mitchells trade to the Toronto Argonauts. Key defensive-linne changes include Keron Williams moving inside to Mitchells former tackle spot from defensive end, and second-year pro Jabar Westerman, the West Divisions top rookie in 2012, getting a starting job at end.dddddddddddd The linebacking corps has also experienced change as 2012 CFL all-star Adam Bighill moves to the outside from the middle, where he ranked second in the league in tackles last season with 104. The move accommodates Solomon Elimimian, who returned from the NFL in the second half of 2012 and is more comfortable playing middle linebacker. Bighill is well versed in the outside spot, having played there as a rookie in 2011. The secondary has also undergone a shuffle as Korey Banks moves to nickelback, acting as a hybrid linebacker-defensive back from halfback, and J.R. LaRose takes over at safety. Cord Parks becomes the other newcomer to grab a starting spot at cornerback. In arguably the most dramatic change, veteran kicker Paul McCallum, the CFLs oldest player at 43, will focus on field goals in his 21st CFL season. Hugh ONeill, who spent the past two seasons serving as his understudy, is expected to handle kick-offs and possibly punts. "Certainly, there is tremendous value to having two (kickers) on the roster --for depth, for leg strength on kick-offs, for accuracy from (McCallums) placekicking, and punting," said Benevides. In another special teams adjustment, newcomer Korey Williams could feature prominently as a punt and kick-off returner. The Lions assigned him to active duty to prevent another club from plucking him off the practice roster. "Were a good, solid team," said McCallum. "Weve got a good core group of players. We work hard, are very talented, have lots of depth. So for me, if I have to say expectations as far as wins and losses, and expectations as far as going out and playing hard, we should be successful." The Lions will open the season Friday in Calgary, hoping for a chance at some revenge after last years West final loss. However, Benevides said the Lions have to put the bitterness of that setback behind them. "Really, lets make sure we learned some lessons," he said. "But, really, we cant live with that. This is a whole different team, a whole different year. The league is different. "So, for me, the approach is: Lets move on." ' ' '
