This was an unusual task.
With sports shut down most of the year thanks to the ongoing pandemic, selecting the best photos of 2020 was both easier and harder than normal.
For one thing, with virtually no games after February, there were a LOT less pics, and pretty much every sport except for basketball was AWOL.
Still, actually getting down to 20 was once again brutal, especially when it came to cutting from about 24 down to the final group.
But I did it.
So here we go, in no particular order, the photos which stand out to me.
