As 2014 draws to a close, we take a second look at some of the year's best sports photos. From Li Na to LeBron James, Luis Suarez to Rafael Nad-al, there was no shortage of photogenic super-stars and no limit to pulse-pounding action that included the seven-game NBA Finals, the World Cup in Brazil and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Truly a year of global sports glory!
