Wayne Rooney.

Great players make their sport look easy. The guy was the best player on the pitch and looked like he was moving at 75% intensity, but only because he didn't have to move any faster. Didn't put a foot wrong all game.

NHL - Was in NYC for work and watched a Kings/Rangers game....Anze Kopitar was a badass two way force & made the game look incredibly easy with his awareness & skill.

Though have been to many NHL games in my lifetime, there was one that stood out with Daniel Alfredsson playing with the Sens in Dallas. Ottawa has always had tough breaks in Dallas, but this guy was incredible playing both ends of the ice making it look very easy. Great skill & diligence.

NBA - Seen many visits from the Lakers in their prime visiting Dallas. Kobe always had a highlight reel play or two everytime I attended one of those games...much to my dismay.

First Mavs game I ever attended was in 2008 when the 1st place Sonics visited Dallas though both Detlef Schremp and Dale Ellis were struggling that season.....that night..they scorched the Mavs big time.

MLB - Got to see Justin Verlander live few years back.....shutout the home team quite easily...let's leave it at that.

WWE/WWF - Owen/Bret Hart were always hilarious & great when visiting North Texas. Stone Cold Steven Austin rocked....not to mention the Nature Boy Ric Flair who visited a shop owned by relatives back in the day...a real class act outside the ring too.

Had pretty good seats watching AI in his prime dismantle the Knicks in Philly. Best PG of his generation IMO

Anze Kopitar

I'd also say Peyton Manning but he threw 6 interceptions in the game I went to. (and the Colts still nearly won.)

Pavel Bure is up there.

Out of hundreds of NHL games I've been to, Ray Borque is the best pure skater I've seen.

Brett Favre. He did things I never thought possible.

Baseball, probably Alex Rodriguez or Carlos Beltran.

Kind of an odd way to answer this but I am not a sports fan. However, my uncle was friends with Larry Bird from back in his college days. When I was seven or eight, my cousins and I got to play a game of pickup basketball in my uncle's driveway with Larry. That's the only example I have to give since I can't say I have ever been to any sporting event worth remembering.

Lebron James and Adrian Peterson. Superhuman freaks of nature. AP was playing against the Browns and looked like a man amongst boys.
