10. Kevin Durant
In what was called a “stunning move,” Kevin Durant signed to the Golden State Warriors in July. The former Oklahoma City Thunder small forward inked the two-year deal after the Warriors achieved one of the best regular-season records in NBA history last season at 73 wins and 9 losses.
9. Usain Bolt
Usain Bolt completed the elusive triple-triple at the Rio Olympics this summer, winning the 4 x 100-meter relay, the 100 meters, and the 200 meters for the third straight time.
8. Cam Newton
It's been a tough season for Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton. Newton has taken several blows to the head, suffering a concussion against the Atlanta Falcons earlier this season and taking several late hits by defenders. Experts inside the NFL are worried about Newton's safety on the field and would be "stunned" if he lasted longer than a few years in the NFL.
7. Simone Biles
After her first showing at the Olympic games in Rio this past summer, Simone Biles was quickly a fan favorite. But she also proved to be one of the best gymnasts the US team has ever seen, and possibly the best gymnast in history. Biles won five medals at the games, including four gold.
6. Ryan Lochte
Despite being one of the best swimmers in US history, Ryan Lochte fell from grace this summer after lying about being robbed at gunpoint in Rio. Lochte's lies were quickly exposed, resulting in the swimmer losing sponsorship deals and being suspended from competing for 10 months.
5. Steven Avery
After the documentary "Making a Murderer" premiered on Netflix, its subject, Steven Avery, became the subject of national fascination. Avery spent years in prison for a crime he says he didn't commit, but after being released, wound up in prison again after being accused of murder along with his nephew, Brendan Dassey. A judge overturned Dassey's conviction in August, but Avery remains behind bars.
4. Bernie Sanders
The Vermont senator was a strong contender for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016, fighting a tough battle against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who eventually clinched the nomination. Sanders was an outspoken critic of money in politics and captured the allegiance of those who wanted universal higher education and health care.
3. Michael Phelps
After finishing up the 2016 Olympic games with a grand total of 28 medals - 23 of them gold - Michael Phelps said he's officially retired from professional swimming. His teammates don't believe he's actually done, but Phelps said at the time that he's just "ready for something different."
2. Hillary Clinton
The democratic presidential nominee and former Secretary of State was the heavy favorite to win the 2016 presidential election, leading in every national poll before the race. But Republican nominee Donald Trump won the election by clinching the electoral college vote (although Clinton won the popular vote nationwide).
