We all have those moments. The
ones when we're watching a triple overtime unfold, or we're hitting
the last-second jumper ourselves - the ones that stay with us the
rest of our lives. They remind us of why we're passionate
about sports - why everything from the Tallahassee Little League
Championships to the Super Bowl can get us excited. Some
of us here at Outsports, and some of our readers, have put together
our lists of our Top Moments In Sports. We hope some of these
lists remind you of "where you were when..." and that they
inspire you to create your own list. Whether you have 3, 5,
10, or any number of favorite sports moments, e-mail
them to us and we'll post them here. Randy
Boyd, Los Angeles
Randy's new novel ``Bridge
Across the Ocean'' will be released in mid-June. Reggie
hits 3 to top Jordan Bulls
1998 Eastern Conference Finals, Game 4
Memorial Day. Bulls up 2-1... Pacers need win to even series...
fractions of seconds left... Pacers inbound, Reggie throws MJ off of
him, fires... Market Square goes wild... I'm there. I lose my voice.
MJ's 6th title will not come easy. Is that why he retired? Smits
hits 2 to top Shaq's
Magic 1995 Eastern Conference Finals.
Pacers need another Memorial Day miracle to even series. In
the last seconds of the game, Reggie hits, puts Pacers ahead...
Penny hits, puts Magic ahead... Rik Smits hits at the buzzar...
Market Square goes wild... I'm there. I lose my voice. There's
dancing in the streets of downtown Indy. Reggie's
8 points in the waning seconds at the Garden
Knicks appear well on their way to winning Game 1 of 1995 Conference
Semi's and continuing their mastery of the small market Hicks... but
Reggie brings Pacers back with two 3's and two free throws in the
literal last seconds of the game before a stunned Spike Lee in the
Garden. The Mo' carries the Pacers to a 7 game series victory. USC
blocks UCLA's FG and Rose Bowl 1981.
Coach Donahue has a shot at his first Rose Bowl. All he needs is a
win. Future NFL kicker Norm Johnson lines up for a winning chip
shot. SC blocks it as time expires. Trojans win. Trojans win. UCLA
stops SC 2 pt conversion with no time remaining 1982.
Trojans score a TD on the last play of the game. With no time
remaining, they go for 2 to win. Bruins sack the QB as he fades back
to pass. Bruins win. Bruins win. (that same day, The Play is taking
place up north) . Kirk
Gibson hobbles to the plate and hits HR vs Bash Brothers
There was only one thing a gimpy Gibby could do to help his team. He
did it. Dodgers win and the Mo' takes them thru the 1988 Fall
Classic. USC-UCLA four hoops
overtimes
It was late in the 1985 season and both teams had NCAA aspirations.
Both also knew only one would get in the dance. Earlier in the year,
they had battled to 2 OTs with the Trojans prevailing. This time, it
took them 4 extra periods before the Trojans prevailed again. Keith
Smart beats Syracuse
Before we acknowledged The General was a child abuser, Keith Smart
gave IU fans one last page of ultimate glory with his baseline
jumper in the Superdome in 1987. Not even throwing vases at elderly
ladies taints the players' accomplishments. Hinkle
Fieldhouse troughs provide first look at adult male cock
The venerable old building used in the movie ``Hoosiers'' was much
more than a basketball shrine to this young black boy growing up. It
was one of the first places I actually saw men's penises.
Others may look at the Fieldhouse and remember Bobby Plump's miracle
shot which inspired the movie or the countless battles of high
school legends such as Steve Alford, Oscar Robinson, Eric Montross,
Alan Henderson, George McGinnis etc etc, but that's only part of
what I remember about Hinkle. World
famous athlete comes out and says "I suck dick and don't care
what you think about it."
Imagine how many walls will come tumbling down in what will truly be
the greatest day in all sports.
