Forgot to post this yesterday for Big Sexy’s Birthday: behold one of the momentous events in history

 
It’s only fitting that MJ’s last shot as a member of the Chicago Bulls would have such a big effect in the history of the game. In Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals, Jordan and the Bulls were on the road in Utah, trying to cap off their second three-peat of the decade. With under 19 seconds remaining, Jordan stole the ball from Karl Malone, and on the following possession the magic happened. MJ drove right passed Bryon Russell, and crossed over back to the left, where he pulled up and drained the game winning 2-point jump shot with just 5.2 seconds left on the clock. It was a brilliant moment that capped off the era of the 1990s Bulls dynasty.

This game had it all. Prior to the game between the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons, most people viewed the Patriots as big favorites. But the Falcons came out strong, dominating the game on their way to a 28-3 lead. But Tom Brady had different plans, engineering the greatest comeback on the Super Bowl stage, winning the game 34–28 in overtime. It ended up as the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, and also was the first SB to ever go to overtime. Brady ended up securing his fifth Super Bowl ring, becoming the first quarterback to achieve the feat.

The Fight of the Century

Arguably the most iconic moment in boxing history, the “Fight of the Century” refers to the first meeting between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. The fight took place on March 7, 1971, at MSG in New York. After Ali had been banned from the sport for his refusal to join the military, Frazier became a rising force. When they met on this day, the two were both undefeated heavyweight champions, but something had to give. At the end of a grueling 15 rounds, Frazier won the fight with a unanimous decision. The fight between the two boxers was later replicated two more times, with Ali winning each of them.

“The Rumble in the Jungle”

Muhammad Ali was known for speaking his mind and talking up a storm. But he also typically backed up all the talk inside the ring. The “Rumble in the Jungle” refers to a fight between Ali and undefeated world heavyweight champion George Foreman, which took place on October 30, 1974. Ali, who was 32 years old at the time, proved his worth by way of an eighth round knockout victory, reclaiming the title from Foreman. This match received lots of attention globally, and had a full crowd of roughly 60,000 spectators in attendance.

‘The Shot’ By Michael Jordon


Michael Jordon is probably the greatest and most beloved basketball player of all time. Although most legends do not achieve the perfect end to their careers, Michael managed to end his time at the Chicago Bulls with a legendary shot that won the team the ‘World Series’ in the most emphatic manner. With only 10 seconds left on the clock and the bulls trailing 86-85, Michael dribbled right, took aim and let out the iconic match-winning shot

Bill Walton led the Portland Trail Blazers to the 1977 title -- the first season after the NBA-ABA merger.

The Bird and Magic show made the 80's for me a wonderful era of basketball to watch. Therewas no better rivalry IMO to watch between the Celtics and Lakers and Magic and Bird
