SI's Best Portraits of 2014

Joakim Noah :: Chicago Bulls

Todd Rosenberg/SI

Sports Illustrated has always been known for its photography. Our action shots are among the best in the world. But through the years, Sports Illustrated has also produced some of the greatest portraits of athletes. This year, our 60th anniversary, is no different. From Joakim Noah by Todd Rosenberg, to PK Subban by John Huet, to this year's Sportsman of the Year, Madison Bumgarner by Robert Beck. These portraits show us the athletes we follow, as the people we admire. We hope you enjoy them.
