Wade single-handedly took the Heat from a 0-3 deficit to the title.

When's the last time a single player took a team that looked so outclassed and in the dire situation the Heat was in in Game 3, and won it by himself?

A fine choice.

Was he not playing in the 1st 3 games? Pujols' Cards looked pretty crappy for the whole season, let alone 3 games.

Dude.... half you motherfuckers think Howard was rightfully named MVP.

Please.

He wasn't NL MVP, NLCS MVP or WS MVP.

No way.

Agreed.

Ali is on a far higher cosmic pay grade than the rest of this list.

I say if not Federer, do something creative. Other than Rog, there wasn't a single athlete who transcended their sport this year so why not go an alternative route? Why not Mutumbo for his work in Africa and for still playing at 42 or in all liklihood 50. Why not the reporters who scooped BALCO? Why not Matsuzaka for his work in the WBC and for commanding 51 mill from the Red Sox? Why not Big Ben for winning the SB so young, then going through his tumultous year?
D-Wade is a great player, but just an uninspiring choice. A choice that will sell magazines, though, which is obviously why they don't chose Federer.

Also...shouldn't the Sportsman of the Year have been able to lead Team USA to gold at worlds?

Wade single-handedly took the Heat from a sure 0-3 deficit to the title.

When's the last time a single player took a team that looked so outclassed and in the dire situation the Heat was in in Game 3 (down 89-76 midway through the fourth quarter), and won it by himself?

Crickets, huh?

Wow. He won a NBA Finals series all by himself. What a great sportsman.

He doesn't even transcend the NBA let alone the sports world. He's just another very good player SI decided to put on the cover.
