Every year Sports Illustrated announces their Sportsperson of the Year and this year we have been blessed with two! These two stars represent the same city and have done so amazingly. Of course, we’re talking about the city of Houston and its stars Jose Altuve and J.J. Watt. These two are certainly deserving of the honor!
J.J. Watt went viral earlier this year when he got on social media and helped raise over $30 million for the city he played in. The hurricane that tore apart the city was the inspiration for Watt to do what he can for the city.
Altuve also did great things for those in Houston after Hurricane Harvey hit the city of Houston back in August and gave the city to smile again when his Astros won the World Series!
Congratulations to these two on their amazing years and we thank them for being amazing role models.
