Nick, the ESPY's are more about glitz, glamour, entertainment value (and, not least, promoting ESPN). Beckham certainly has the first three, and that's all the ESPY's care about.
For being the only member of MLS that the general public can name....
BZ hit it on the head. Even if they are going on his form this season alone he still wouldn't top my list.
