Yes, Laettner is a good one!

Rod Sellers...good times

That article had some strange, random photos. Here's a classic, immaculate even:

I think we're a little biased, but certainly in my top 10.

Bobby Orr #1? Ali standing over Liston?

Ok maybe I am a little biased but I bleed national flag blue

1980 Olympic Team for the win. Greatest moment in US Sports history. Notice how even SI knew no words were needed?!

And yet the TV call of "Do you believe in miracles?" is even better.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Gotta have both of these together.

Not really a winner, but I feel like Jordan belongs in here somewhere….

The best part of this is he is already on the way down.

I was thinking of this one as well. Maybe not the best but in the conversation. 31 lengths win.

A big middle finger moment in historyView attachment 69244

Didn't FDR refuse to bring black medal winners to the whitehouse? Or is that some counter-myth to the "hitler wouldn't shake black athletes hands" thing--which is definitely a myth.

Ty Cobb "sliding" into home

A lot of Patriots/Sox hate here... Ali - Liston was the first that popped in my head, but how about this?
