for this list we’re looking at some of
the biggest names in sports and their
moves from one team to another they
didn’t gentlemen the most valuable
player in the 2013 world Terry David
Ortiz
while Killian BAP a signing with PSG was
a huge move in the world of football he
wasn’t included on this list because he
played with PSG on loan at first meaning
he didn’t fully sign with a team
initially
[Applause]
number ten Peyton Manning the Denver
Broncos the Indianapolis Colts will
release quarterback Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning remains one of the best
quarterbacks in the history of the NFL
however a career-threatening neck injury
placed him in a precarious situation in
2011 without having Manning to start the
Colts had a disastrous season and opted
to use their number one pick to draft
another quarterback Andrew Luck the
Colts released Manning and he eventually
signed with the Denver Broncos turning
them into an AFC powerhouse during this
time he led the organization to two
Super Bowl appearances including a title
in 2015 all while breaking several
records
I want to go hug my family I’m gonna
drink a lot of Budweiser tonight Tracy
the return of Steve Nash to his first
NBA team the Phoenix Suns in 2004
resulted in one of the most radical
transformations of a team in sports
history having only won 29 games the
season before Nash led the Suns to an
astounding 62 and 20 the following
season coach Mike D’Antoni’s running gun
style offense combined with Nash’s
passing vision skill and high basketball
IQ made the Suns one of the most
entertaining teams to watch during this
time and led to back-to-back League MVPs
for Nash I always dreamed of playing in
the NBA I dreamed of being an all-star
but I never dreamed to be in the MVP so
number 8 Drew Brees the New Orleans
Saints similarly to Peyton Manning
drew Brees suffered a shoulder injury
that ultimately displaced him as the
face of the franchise
San Diego decided to draft Phillip
Rivers and groom this young quarterback
for the spotlight meanwhile Brees signed
with New Orleans and free agency and
turned the Saints into one of the most
dominant offenses in the NFL Brees
continues to serve as the fuel for the
Saints offense with more than 400
touchdown passes in his 12 years with
the team and a Super Bowl victory in
2010 did you help save New Orleans or do
you think New Orleans helped save you
I’m gonna say New Orleans helped save me
number seven John Tavares the Toronto
Maple Leafs John Tavares is a Toronto
Maple Leaf and Wow in the summer of 2018
John Tavares fulfilled his dream of
playing hockey for the Toronto Maple
Leafs Tavares had spent the previous
nine seasons of his career with the New
York Islanders where he served as a
lethal goal scorer crisp passer and
eventually team captain during this time
he led the Islanders to their first
playoff appearance since 2007 and was
named an NHL all-star as well as a
finalist for NHL MVP the Maple Leafs
have high hopes for Tavares and his
addition to the squad will serve to push
the Maple Leafs toward a contending
position in the NHL it was hard to turn
down this opportunity that’s obviously
one of the premier organizations not
just in hockey but in sports
never
six Cristiano Ronaldo you Ventus – 300
matches on patio vendo padre obtained as
revenge Cristiano Ronaldo is set to sign
with Juventus after nine seasons of
playing for Real Madrid during this time
he secured the spot of all-time leading
scorer for Real Madrid and led the team
to four Champions League winning seasons
Ronaldo is perhaps one of the most
recognizable names in football which is
sure to bring a boost in revenue for the
club
[Applause]
however even at 33 ronaldo remains a
deadly striker who uses his speed to
accelerate past defenders and score
number five Shaquille O’Neal the Los
Angeles Lakers
now hopefully I’ll get to you know
showcase more of my talents because I
could do more than just dunk Shaquille
O’Neal signing with the Los Angeles
Lakers in 1996 proved to be a massive
success for both parties as Shaq led the
franchise into a new era of Showtime
Lakers during this time Shaq performed
much as he did in Orlando dominating the
paint alongside teammate Kobe Bryant and
leading the Lakers to three consecutive
championships while racking up a league
MVP for himself in the process
ultimately Shaq’s stint with the Lakers
would solidify his place as one of the
greatest and most dominant big men of
all time I think about it now called me
myself they were the greatest one-two
punch
ever little man big man number four
Barry Bonds the San Francisco Giants
like a boyhood dream that comes to
believe after a seven-year stint with
the Pittsburgh Pirates paid few
dividends slugger Barry Bonds decided to
sign with the San Francisco Giants in
1993 a six-year 43 points 75 million
dollar deal turned Barry Bonds into a
home run hitting machine as he beat Mark
McGwire single-season home run record of
70 with 73 himself and remained in the
upper echelon of players by accruing
more walks than anyone in history as
well as maintaining an insane slugging
percentage and high batting average he
also racked up five MVPs during this
time as well as an appearance in the
number three Kevin Durant the Golden
State Warriors
I like that Kevin Durant signing with
the Golden State Warriors shocked the
sports world to the core
rumors of Durant signing with the club
were met with a flurry of yeah rights
during the offseason but indeed Kevin
Durant made his decision to leave the
Oklahoma City Thunder in favor of the
reigning NBA champions Durant was
immediately spurned for this decision
but it didn’t affect his game in the
slightest as he led the Warriors to two
straight championships with the help of
Steph Curry and a stacked Warriors
Golden State further added to their
roster in 2018 with the signing of
DeMarcus Cousins so it’s looking like
the Warriors will continue to shine well
into the future
number two Neymar Harris Sasha Elma yes
he recorded in 2017 Neymar moved from
Barcelona to PSG in what is currently
the most expensive transfer of all time
in the sport of football in fact this
was such a massive transfer that
officials investigated whether or not
there was any financial foul play
involved either way the Brazilian
striker has always been a key part of
the teams he’s played on and his
transfer to PSG is no different the
superstar carries a host of playmaking
skills including vision passing and
finishing and these traits have resulted
in comparisons to fellow Brazilian
player Ronaldinho all in all
Neymar will continue to draw large
crowds during his tenure with PSG the
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions it was
like Green Bay I didn’t tell you to call
Green Bay why are we talking about Green
Bay retirement or the Packers
[Applause]
number one LeBron James the Miami Heat
this fall is very tough and this form
will take my talents to South Beach and
join the Miami there are few players in
the history of sports that maintain as
much attention and news coverage as
LeBron James the superstar was drafted
by the Cavaliers straight out of high
school and maintained a heroic image
until his infamous decision in 2010 to
leave Cleveland and join the Miami Heat
James in the heat would dominate the
Eastern Conference over the next four
seasons as they went on to win two
finals LeBron also took home two League
MVPs and final MVPs during that time
while any signing involving James is a
big one
this one had a bigger impact on the NBA
as a whole
which is why we picked it over his
signings with the Cavs and Lakers didn’t
see him warm up so we’ll see if he’s
gonna play but LeBron James who signed
the four-year max this crowd is on its
feet everybody has their cell phones out
taking pictures of LeBron James do you
