Well if this doesn't get you fired up, I don't know what to say.

This is always FIRE! There are some more out there people, post'em here, they're all good. The New York ones for sure.

@Storrs South , @HooperScooper Anyone else?

Thank you in advance of course! Help rile up the fan base going into the tournaments!

Really good. The funny thing is we could make a whole other new one with just Hurley’s teams.

Seeing the Bazz highlights reminded me how Napier is one of my favorite all time Huskies. On any given night I knew I'd see something special from him.

This rendition is outstanding, thanks for sharing!

I used to have a prized collection of every OSM on VCR, from the late 80s to 1998 ... would watch them with friends at all times of year, looking forward to the day that we have ours!

Enter 1999, I'm a grad student at Duke, watching the championship game alone in my apartment, and the dream comes to reality ... next step, hit record to capture the magical moment and complete the collection, DONE ... phone is ringing off the hook, random neighbors (yes Duke students and fans) knocking at my door to give congrats ...

Through and after all that madness, around 3am, I go to look at our 1999 OSM, and my friggin' VCR recorded a Sherman Hemsley (aka George Jefferson) Amen episode, FML!

Luckily the digital revolution happened, and every year of OSM is now easily discoverable online ...

and with that, I contribute my in-person OSMs from 2014 and 2023 to this most marvelous thread ... Go Huskies!

I miss the interlude with the credits rolling before OSM

Those deadly long threes, I don't know that he ever missed.

Rip with the narrative

Love it. Except the One Shining Moment song itself is terrible. It's cringe-worthy.

I just need this updated with '23 and '24.

Really I love the song and it fits perfectly. Different strokes for different folks. I really love when Luther Vandross(RIP) sings it.

Jubilation!

I still don't see what Langdon was doing there. He must have been trying to draw a foul call because he just lunged forward, or maybe his foot made contact with someone. I'd bet the refs today would bite too and blow the whistle.

 

[Son of Robert]

@Storrs South , also the man

Someone's gotta update that for the Hurley era.

One Shining Moment - Wikipedia

Towey originally planned to debut the song not after a basketball game, but after a football game, Super Bowl XXI on January 25, 1987. It was to have been the post-game montage from that contest, but the game ran past the expected airtime and CBS had a prime time show to debut in the next time slot,[a] so the montage was canceled. CBS then asked Barrett for permission to use the song after the 1987 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship Game on March 30, in which Indiana beat Syracuse. Towey decided to use "One Shining Moment" to close CBS's coverage of the tournament. The positive public response led to it becoming an annual feature.

2010 was hilarious, I know I logged a complaint!

A version by Jennifer Hudson was used for the 2010 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament; the format of the Hudson video deviated from prior years by cutting away from the tournament highlight montage on several occasions to show footage of Hudson singing in a recording studio, drawing criticism from some fans and viewers.[9][10][11] In response to the criticism, the Vandross version was broadcast the following year.

The original version recorded by Barrett was used from 1987 to 1993, and briefly revived between 2000 and 2002 with a new instrumental. Versions recorded by Teddy Pendergrass (1994–1999), Luther Vandross (2003–2009, 2011–2019, 2021–present), and Ne-Yo (2016) have also been used; Vandross' version is believed to be the last song he recorded before his stroke and death.
