Kris Bryant didn\u2019t set any significant milestones save for his <a href=\"http:\/\/cubbiescrib.com\/2017\/03\/09\/chicago-cubs-kris-bryant-agree-record-breaking-contract\/\">new deal with the Chicago Cubs<\/a>, but the reigning MLB National League MVP was a big reason why the Cubs broke the franchise\u2019s 108-year World Series drought in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>Sidney Crosby won his third and second-straight Stanley Cup this past June, while Russell Westbrook threatened to damage the fabric of the NBA universe on a nightly basis with a season-long statistical assault, concluding in him averaging a triple-double on the season and at the same time breaking Oscar Robertson\u2019s record for most trip-dubs in a season.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Phelps, meanwhile, had a bigger stage to showcase his dominance in his sport, as the American swimmer won five more Olympic gold medals in Rio to add to his collection. He ended his Olympic career with 23 gold medals overall, the most ever by an athlete in any sport.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Russell Westbrook<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Best Female Athlete<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XUzRQOCstls?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Olympians are well represented in this category with gymnast Simon Biles, swimmer Katie Ledecky, and tennis star Serena Williams all nominated along with Candace Parker of the WNBA. Williams has won the award twice before (2003, 2013) but Biles and Ledecky\u2019s respective four-gold medal performances in Rio are going to be tough to ignore for voters. Parker earns a nod to be part of the nominees after leading the Los Angeles Sparks to a title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Serena Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Best Championship Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Dek2iKYI7eQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Tom Brady and Kevin Durant lend their star power to this category with both having preternatural performances in Super Bowl LI and in the 2016 NBA Finals respectively. Brady won his fifth Super Bowl ring last February after helping the New England Patriots overcome a massive 25-point deficit against the Atlanta Falcons.<\/p>\n<p>Durant, who was signed by the Golden State Warriors last year, earned his first NBA title and did it in astounding fashion, putting up 35.2 points in five games versus LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Oklahoma Sooner Shay Knighten, meanwhile, is vying for the recognition on the strength of her amazing Women\u2019s College World Series play, hitting .350 in the WCWS to lead his team to a finals win over the Florida Gators.<\/p>\n<p>DeShaun Watson, now with the Houston Texans, gets nominated for his clutch play in the National College Football Championship that helped the Clemson Tigers upend the Alabama Crimson Tide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: Tom Brady<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>The rest of award categories and nominees<\/strong><\/h3>\n<table class=\"table-bordered\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Category<\/th>\n<th>Nominees<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Best Team<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Chicago Cubs, MLB<\/li>\n<li>Clemson Tigers, CFB<\/li>\n<li>Golden State Warriors, NBA<\/li>\n<li>Pittsburgh Penguins, NHL<\/li>\n<li>New England Patriots, NFL<\/li>\n<li>South Carolina Gamecocks, Women&#8217;s NCAA Basketball<\/li>\n<li>US Women&#8217;s Gymnastics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Best Game<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Cubs vs. Indians, World Series Game 7<\/li>\n<li>Patriots vs. Falcons, Super Bowl<\/li>\n<li>Federer vs. Nadal, Australian Open Final<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Best NFL Player<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Tom Brady, New England Patriots<\/li>\n<li>Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas Cowboys<\/li>\n<li>Khalil Mack, Oakland Raiders<\/li>\n<li>Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers<\/li>\n<li>Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Best MLB Player<\/th>\n<th>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Kris Bryant, Chicago Cubs<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Rick Porcello, Boston Red Sox<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Max Scherzer, Washington Nationals<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Mike Trout, LA Angels<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Best NHL Player<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Sergei Bobrovsky, Columbus Blue Jackets<\/li>\n<li>Sidney Crosby, Pittsburgh Penguins<\/li>\n<li>Patrick Kane, Chicago Blackhawks<\/li>\n<li>Auston Matthews, Toronto Maple Leafs<\/li>\n<li>Connor McDavid, Edmonton Oilers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Best NBA Player<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Kevin Durant, Golden State Warriors<\/li>\n<li>James Harden, Houston Rockets<\/li>\n<li>LeBron James, Cleveland Cavaliers<\/li>\n<li>Kawhi Leonard, San Antonio Spurs<\/li>\n<li>Russell Westbrook, Oklahoma City Thunder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th>Best Play<\/th>\n<th>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Julian Edelman Super Bowl catch vs. 16.
