Billie Jean King - Sports Illustrated introduced its "Sportsperson of the Year" award in 1954. The Sportsman of the Year that year was Roger Bannister, the Englishman who was the first person ever to run a mile in under four minutes. The first time the award went to a woman was 1972, when American Billie Jean King was named Sportswoman of the Year for her three major titles. She shared that year's honors with NCAA basketball coach John Wooden, making 1972 one of several years with dual winners (who do not have to be of opposite genders). Recent sportspeople of the year include soccer star Megan Rapinoe (2019), the entire Golden State Warriors NBA team (2018), MLB star José Altuve and NFL star J.J. Watt (both 2017). :
