He’s young, he’s gorgeous, and he’s here to stay! Griezmann has come bursting onto the scene, piling up goals in La Liga while helping lead Atlético to the Champions League final a season ago. He has tallied 20 goals in each of the past three seasons and is well on his way to a fourth this year.
His play for France in Euro 2016 caught the eye of soccer fans around the world as he led the tournament with six goals and took home the award for the best player. In 2016, he finished third in the Ballon d’Or voting behind only Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Kevin Durant - NBA
Kevin Durant is uniquely phenomenal in a multitude of ways. Nearing the 7-foot mark, Durant has ball-handling capabilities and the shooting prowess of a guard. He can score from anywhere on the court - demonstrating skill only seen among the elite players in the league's history.
Additionally, Durant's spider-like wingspan and rare athletic ability have helped him become an outstanding defensive player. This past year, Durant captured his first NBA Championship with the Golden State Warriors. Assuming he wins a few more, there's a real chance he could finish as one of the ten best players of all-time.
Thomas Müller - Soccer
There is one trait in soccer that cannot be taught, and that is the art of scoring goals. Thomas Müller has mastered this trait, as the young German is seemingly always in the right place to help the ball into the back of the net. Müller has won 12 domestic trophies with Bayern Munich, a Champions League, and a World Cup.
His unorthodox style of play may seem weird to many, but it is hard to argue with the results. Müller has scored 157 goals for Bayern Munich and has added another 36 for his country, including five in the 2014 World Cup.
Stan Wawrinka - Tennis
The Swiss sensation who reached a career-high Association of Tennis Professionals world No. Three singles ranking for the first time in 2014 is also one of the cutest players on the tennis court.
So far, he has won three Grand Slam titles at the 2014 Australian Open, 2015 French Open, and 2016 US Open, where he defeated the world No. 1 player in all three finals; and an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 title at the Monte-Carlo Masters in 2014.
David Alaba - Soccer
One of the best young players in the world is also one of the cutest. David Alaba is just 24 and has won a plethora of trophies with the “German Giants.” His ability to play multiple positions on the field makes Alaba an individual player.
Despite being so young, Alaba is already the best left-back and should that title for the foreseeable future.
