I would have to say Lance Armstrong. Here's why:

For 7 years in a row, he's won one of the most grueling tests of endurance in sports today. It's hard enough to win it once, but 7 times in a row? Thats ridiculous. Plus, it's not like he's competing against a small field. He beats out hundreds of other riders each year.

And on top of that, is all the good he's done raising money for cancer research. I think they've sold something like 50 million livestrong bracelets, and Lance doesnt get a single penny from any of them.

Here's another thing that makes me respect him even more. After winning his first Tour de France, a reporter asked him "Does this prove that you can do anything if you put your mind to it?" and he replied, "No, not at all. There were other cancer patients at the Mayo Clinic with me who wanted to survive just as badly as I did, and didnt make it. I didnt try any harder than them, I was just very fortunate"

He's obviously a guy who has his head on right.

Plus, his cameo in Dodgeball was hysterical
