Forgot in my first post, also went to the first round of the MLB NL playoffs between the Braves/Mets a few years ago.

Been to 2 Peach Bowls, the last one in old Fulton County Stadium (NC State vs. ECU) and 1995 in the Georgia Dome, (NC State vs. Miss. State).

Also went to the old Hall of Fame Bowl in Tampa(Now called the Outback Bowl), (NC State vs. Michigan), in the old Bucs stadium that Chris Berman called the Big Sombrero.

Game 4 of the '02 ALCS when Anaheim beat the Twinkies on their way to win the Series. Also went to Game 4 of the ALDS that year when we closed out the Yanks. That was great since I went with a friend who is life long Yankee fan:D

My personal favorite was the 1986 (1985 season) NFC Championship game at Soldier Field. It was freaking cold but it was an awesome experience.

Game 4 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Kings

I was actually thinking of leaving in the second quarter, but then I decided to stay . . .

Robert Horry's three . . . The place just went CRAZY!!

that's the best part.

people were leaving with about 10 seconds left, to beat the traffic. those fairweather fans miss the most shots :)

no, i dont think 10 seconds left, because i distinctly remember, there was 11.8 seconds left on the clock when the play started

I think the score was 98-95 with 26 seconds left when Shaq went to the line . . .

The whole place was praying, even the ATHEISTS! :Q My heart felt so heavy (it feels heavy RIGHT NOW typing this up)

Fortunately, Shaq made both, making the score 98-97

Then with 11.8 left, someone fouled Vlade Divac and he went to the line and MISSED THE FIRST ONE

He made the second and it was 99-97 Kings

Okay, timeout . . .

I had to sit down because my heart was like . . . weighing me down

Okay, so play starts . . .

Kobe gets the ball, takes it to the top of the 3, then with about 7 remaining, drives to the right against Doug Christie, and throws up a layup . . .

Hits the backboard, but too long . . . I started crying, but I then I see Shaq on the other side of the basket . . .

He misses the putback . . . now, I REALLY started crying . . .

My heart was crushed when Divac batted the ball out, cause I thought it was Game Over

But then I see Robert Horry and I glance at the clock . . . 1.7 . . .

He catches it, throws it up . . .

It literally HUNG there for an HOUR

I remember screaming at the top of my lungs, "MAKE IT!!"

And it went in :D

EDIT: i downloaded the vidcap a few years ago, anyone want to host it? :D

i wish i was there..but that three was the BEST moment in my fan-life. I was screaming in the top of my lungs and i got teary w/ happiness. I was high-fiving anyone i could find who was in my way. everyone was on their cell phones calling.."DID YOU SEE THAT!!! OMG!!! AHHHHH!!!!"
