SI's 2020 Sportsperson of the Year recipients: LeBron James, Patrick Mahomes, Naomi Osaka, Breanna Stewart, Laurent Duvernay-Tardif

From a third-time winner who helped drive record election turnout to a newbie who spent the fall fighting a pandemic, this year's honorees—LeBron James, Breanna Stewart, Patrick Mahomes, Naomi Osaka and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif—were champions on the field, champions for others off it. 

For both their excellence on the field of play, and their grace and class off of it, these five athletes are the 2020 Sportspersons of the Year.
