    What do you think are the greatest sports moments in history. For me nothing really compares to the miracle on ice.




    But, I'll never forget watching Jordan in game 6 making russell fall down and hitting the title winning jump shot.

    Good one. Definitely one of the most shocking sports moments. I remember watching that with my jaw dropped seeing Tyson hit the canvas. Didnt' think such a thing was possible.

    Those are all great examples, but I will never forget watching Jack win the 1986 Masters. You knew you were watching something really special the entire time.

    I really hate the Dodgers, but this is the greatest sports moment I've ever seen.

    Man, I remember that like it was yesterday. I was 11.

    Is it sad that we have to go back that far for a championship of any sort (Sorry WNBA).

    Aminu Timberlake (the guy who was stomped by Laettner in what should have been an ejection earlier in the game) even wore an "I STILL HATE LAETTNER" T-Shirt to the UK-Duke game in good fun a few years ago in Atlanta.

    Greatest moment I remember from recent memory was Bubba's Miracle shot to win the 2012 Masters though. Insane moment in sports.

    I didn't think he should be ejected for that little love tap but it would have been nice if pelphry would have played a little defense at the end. :what:

    Force used doesn't matter if you intentionally look down at and then stomp a player on the chest as they are lying on their back. Maybe not in 1992, but in today's game you are ejected plus probably suspended from further games with a stunt like that.

    I was two when it happened so my memory is a little faded of the event haha.
