| On the list because she's the female LeBron. At 6-foot-3, she can do a whole lot more than just dunk -- she can score (20+ ppg all four years in high school), pass and rebound. Heading to Tennessee, she led Naperville High (Ill.) to two straight state championships. |
| On the list because she's been the premier pitcher in the world for a decade. At the 2000 Olympic Games, she led the U.S. to gold and set an Olympic record with 25 strikeouts in one game and compiled a record-low 0.47 ERA. Also plays third; at UCLA, led the nation in 1993 with a .510 batting average and a 0.25 ERA. | |
