Best moments in sports history?
Just post some of your favorite moments in sports history. I dont have a really clear mind right now, but i can think of three. They can be emotional, a victory, whatever. Just greatest sports moments.
-Vladimir Konstantinov holding the Stanley cup in 1998.
After the Red Wings won in 1997, he nearly died in a car accident shortly after. He was in a coma for a long time, and to this day he has not fully recovered. The Red Wings won the Stanley Cup in 1998, and even though Konstantinov was not part of the Wings anymore (because of the injury, he could never play again), they got his name engraved on the Cup. Then after they won it, Konstantinov was wheeled on on his wheelchair onto the ice, and Yzerman, the captain handed him the Cup while his team mates pushed him around the ice. Such a touching moment.
-Game 5 (i think) of the 1997 NBA Finals.
Michael Jordan was suffering from a really terrible case of the flu, he barely slept the night before, and barely had enough energy to get out of the bed during the day. He got out of bed a few hours before tipoff, made his way to the game, and started off slow, and then put in 200% effort despite his illness, he finished the game leading his team in points, and as soon as the buzzer went off he raised his hands in the air and fell into Scottie Pippen's arms from exhaust. Even though he was extremely sick and fatigued, he put in his all and then some.
-Michael Jordan's buzzer beater/last shot in the 1998 NBA Finals.
Bulls were down by 2 points against the Jazz, and the Bulls needed one more win. Michael Jordan already announced that it will be his last season (again). At the Jazz are just running out the clock, Jordan steals the ball and makes it across the court, with less than 10 seconds left he shoots the 3 pointer to put the Bulls ahead by 1, then the Jazz cannot come up with anything in the last 6 seconds (or however long). Jordan's last shot as a Chicago Bull, and an incredible ending to the Finals.
Name some more.
