Crosby, 20, who led the Pens to the Stanley Cup finals this year, was tied for the most points out of any player in the playoffs with 27.

Decathlete Roman Sebrle took the No. 1 spot and was followed by NBA star Lebron James, boxer Floyd Mayweather, NFL running back LaDanian Tomlinson and tennis star Roger Federer.

Liu Xiang, a 110-meter hurdler, came in at No. 7, followed by 400-meter sprinter Jeremy Wariner, soccer star Ronaldo de Assis Moreira and baseball star Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees.

Each athlete was rated on six criteria: speed, vision and reflex, stamina and recovery, coordination and flexibility, power, strength and size, and success and competitiveness.
