As we reported a couple of weeks ago, ESPN The Magazine's NEXT looks at today's phenoms and tries to determine who would have the greatest impact on the world of sports in the coming years.
The votes are now in, and New York Yankees' right-hander (and Schema favorite) JOBA CHAMBERLAIN is this year's winner, beating out a stiff competition from Noel Devine (WVU running back), Tyson Gay (World Champion sprinter), Brandon Roy (Portland Trailblazers guard) and Patrick Willis (San Francisco 49ers linebacker). It was also revealed that Joba is esteemed as the King of Text Messaging. Some people have all the talent.
Let's hope Joba's career lives up to the hype. The previous NEXT winners -- an impressive list that includes such young superstars as LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Adrian Peterson -- have a pretty good track record, with the only notable "bust" coming from Kaz Matsui, the 2004 selection.
The latest issue of ESPN The Magazine, featuring Joba on the cover, is on newsstands now.
