Kemp, an outfielder with the LA Dodgers, has made a name for himself since debuting in the MLB in 2006. In 2011, he led the National League in runs scored (115), total bases (353) and home runs (39), among others. He also became the first player to finish in the top two in both home runs and steals since Hank Aaron first broke the record in 1963.

This former Orlando Magic player was traded to the LA Lakers in 2012 because of his impressive player resume. He not only led the Magic to three division titles and one conference title, but he was also the winner of 2008’s NBA Slam Dunk Contest and was the starting center for Team USA during the 2008 Olympics.

Brown is the captain of the L.A. Kings, who won the 2012 Stanley Cup. He is the first Kings captain – and second-ever American captain – to win the trophy. Now that the NHL season is no longer on lockout, more greatness can be expected from the professional ice hockey player.
