Mickelson joins the previous 3 winners in the race for TBOR Athlete of the Year.
Here's how that race turned out in 1993. Jordan won the AP Award - and he won mine too - but in retrospect, Steffi Graf's 3/4 of the Grand Slam maybe should have gotten her the nod.
Athlete of the Year - Michael Jordan
January - Emmitt Smith (Frank Reich, David Robinson, Troy Aikman)
February - Alexander Mogilny (Hakeen Olajuwon, Mark Price, Tom Kite)
March - Sheryl Swoopes (Mario Lemieux, Hakeem Olajuwon, Jason Kidd)
April - Hakeem Olajuwon (Bernhard Langer, Shannon Miller, Alexander Mogilny)
May - Wayne Gretzky (Curtis Joseph, Michael Jordan, Riddick Bowe)
June - Michael Jordan (Julie Krone, Lee Janzen, Steffi Graf)
July - Ken Griffey (Barry Bonds, Greg Norman, Miguel Indurain)

Lionel Messi definitely merits a mention this month. He's been astonishing. Hat-tricks in consecutive league matches, four goals in a one-man demolition of Arsenal in the Champions League and the opening goal in the win at Real Madrid.
If this turns out to be his career peak, it'll be a long time before anyone scales the heights Messi has achieved in the last month.
