Want to join the SI Sportsman of the Year debate? Michael Phelps appears to be a front-runner, but there are plenty of worthy candidates. SI.com has a whole section with different nominations.

Dan brought up Kevin Garnett. Some of the other interesting nominees include: Padraig Harrington, CC Sabathia, Josh Hamilton, Stephen Curry, Hope Solo and John Elway (wait 'til you hear the reason for that choice -- very interesting).

As Paulie pointed out, SI has made some interesting choices in the past.

Who do you guys think will win this year? Is it definitely Phelps, or is there a darkhorse?
