Best Moment In Sports?

I'm to lazy to think, off the top of my head, I enjoyed when the Redsox beat the Yankees in the playoffs last year and won the world series.
 
The last second of the last game of my peewee football career when I knew I had made it through without breaking anything important and that I was off the hook for playing organized sports for the rest of my life. What a wonderful feeling.
 
When MJ won his last game with a Playoff Team. I cried that day. And the 3 days before when they lost to the Utah Jazz...
 
Best moment would have to be The Miracle On Ice.

Even though I was 8 when it happened, I have a tape of the event and have watched it over a dozen times. What an incredible victory.

Fixed.

The first could have been a fluke, but the second one shocked the world.

Ah, take your pick. the 7th showed his ownage the sport. If I won some event 7 times in a row, I'd get tired and quit too.
 
1992? NCAA regional semis? Kentucky vs. Duke.

Christian Laettner (sp?) goes 10-10 from the field, 10-10 from the line, and makes the famous shot with the clock winding down after the lob pass.

I'll never forget watching that.
 
I can't think a single one

But few that other folks might not think of:

Angles winning the WS...who'd of thought that would ever happen?!

Tyson knocking sphinks out in like 45 seconds flat.

Michael Johnson running 19.32 in the 200m in 1996 Atlanta Olympics...I don't think that record will be broken for 50 years.
 
I'll post this one because most people will have never heard of it:

Rob Machado's high-five with Kelly Slater at the 1995 Pipe Masters.

Since no-one has ever heard of it, here's the explanation:
The Pipe Masters is a surfing competition. It's held at Pipeline on Oahu's North Shore in Hawaii every winter, and is the last contest of the year for surfing's World Championship Tour (and, as of 2005, has $270,000 in prize money). In 1995 the final heat at the Pipe Masters was between defending world champion Kelly Slater, and Rob Machado, who was ranked second in the standings. This final heat would determine the world champion for 1995 (not to mention who walks home with the prize money). The waves that day were good, and both competitors were putting in great performances. Slater had caught a wave, and was paddling back out when Machado caught another wave behind him. Machado's wave was a great wave, and when he came of the tube at the end, Slater was right there paddling out past him. What happened? Slater held up his hand and Machado, with a big smile on his face, slapped him five as he surfed by.

It was a display of sportsmanship and of love for the sport, rather than the money or the spotlight, that you just don't see that often in professional sports.

BTW, Slater went on to win the heat, and the championship, and the next three championships after that, until he retired after the 1998 season.

I thought I'd post that since everyone else will have baseball/basketball/football/etc stories.
 
Too many to pick from...I :heart: sports too much to pick just one. My notables include MJ sinking that jumper against the Jazz in the finals, B. Boone killing Wakefields knuckleball, Lance winning the Tour(s), Lakers vs. Kings game 7....it doesn't stop
