10 athletes .. easy ... Kris Bryant, Jon Lester, Anthony Rizzo, Jake Arrieta. Kyle Schwarber, Javier Baez, Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane, Artemi Panarin, Duncan Keith ... I could go on :)

Quite a feat to do a list of American athletes and come up with 0 athletes I'm familiar with :p
 
I'll do one

Kris Bryant .. Chicago Cubs

2013, while playing for the University of San Diego, same college I went to, won the National College Baseball Player of the Year (about 25 thousand players play college baseball). Drafted by the Cubs

2014, Won Minor League Player of the year ... probably close to 10,000 players play minor league baseball

2015, with the Cubs, won National League Rookie of the Year (for the baseball unfamiliar, there are 2 Major Leagues -- American League and National League -- they separate awards by league)

2016, with the Cubs, won National League Most Valuable Player and was a massive part in the Cubs winning the World Series for the first time since 1908

Pretty damn good start to his career.
 
Good point. No current Bears player deserves to even be in the same sentence with the word "best". Maaayybee you could make a case for Jordan Howard.

The Bulls only have Butler and Wade to offer.
 
about 10 hours left here ... Going to run out in an hour to buy some stuff for dinner and that will be the least time I step out of the house in 2016 .. too many morons and cops out on New Years Eve ... I'd rather be in the house.
