Other sports stars on the list include LeBron James of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers, who was was second, followed by a second golfer, Phil Mickelson, then by Albert Pujols of baseball’s St. Louis Cardinals, Peyton Manning of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts, Dwyane Wade of the NBA’s Miami Heat, Olympic swimming star Michael Phelps, Adrian Peterson of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings, Shaquille O’Neal of the NBA’s Cavaliers’ and multi-winning Tour de France cyclist and cancer survivor Lance Armstrong.
