Your Personal 5 Most Memorable Moments Watching Sports As A Kid
TraceOneInfinite:
Want to make a nostalgic post about sports. Post your top 5 favorite childhood memories from watching sports as a kid.
1. Michael Jordan beats the Pistons in the final seconds 1990-91. This was during the first year that the Bulls won the championship. I was watching the game and it was too late so my father told me I had to go to bed. He came up after the game was over and told me someone missed a shot and all you could see was Jordan's hand above the rim throwing it down for the game winner. The legend of Michael Jordan was born in my mind and the rest was history.
2. Chiefs lose to the Dolphins in Miami wild card playoff game 1990-91. This was the first year the Chiefs were a good team. Marty had just taken over, the Chiefs went 11-5 and the whole city was rallying around them. Everyone was talking about it at school, and on the school bus we used to do the Native American Indian chant the whole ride home. I thought the Chiefs were unstoppable and would never lose. They were up 16-3 going into the 4th and then Marino scored two touchdowns at the end to give Miami a 17-16 lead. Nick Lowery missed a field goal at the end and that was the only time I ever remember crying because my team lost, lol.
3. Montana beats the Oilers in Houston to take the Chiefs to the AFC Championship game. Montana and Marcus Allen took the Chiefs the farthest they have ever gone in my lifetime. Buddy Ryans defense was the talk of football that year. I was over at a friends house and the Chiefs were losing all game. We went outside to play a football game in the snow and when we came back in the Chiefs were kicking ass and had totally taken over the game. They dominated the 4th quarter and Allen broke free to seal the victory with a long touchdown run at the end.
4. Jordan championship game against the Trailblazers. When he scored around 30 points in the first half and did the famous shoulder shrug.
5. Bills lose to the Giants in the Superbowl. I loved the Buffalo Bills. They were my favorite team after the Chiefs. They were exciting to watch, with a dynamic offense, no huddle. I remember that game as America was at war with Iraq and both teams had red, white and blue colors. I was heartbroken when Scott Norwood missed that field goal.
Forgot to Mention:
Fransisco Cabrera's pinch hit RBI to score Sid Bream and beat the Pirates in game 7 of the NL playoffs early 90's! 8)

I remember that game against Golden State. They had a horrible defense and he had like 19 points and showed some old flashes. The fat Magic Johnson, lol. Too bad the comeback was short and too bad assholes like Karl Malone made him ever retire in the first place.

Reminds me of the Nas cut from Hip-Hop Is Dead "Can't Forget About You"... "The shot Robert Horry Hit in the finals/kid!"

I think I remember that happening really early in his career. Like maybe his rookie season. I remember him then, he went to prom with Brandy and that was back when Moesha was big... the good ol days
...surprised you didn't mention the Shaq dunk against the Trailblazers in that comeback win. That's in my top most memorable moments somewhere. I was a big Scottie Pippen fan and had a math tutor my senior year who was like a Scottie Pippen fanatic. We actually watched the game together and it was a crushing defeat

-Robert Horry, Kings. Nuff said.
-Jordan hitting the buzzer beater against the Jazz.
-Bucs vs. Raiders in the Super Bowl. It was the first time I watched a Super Bowl while living in the US, so I got to really see all the hysteria around it. I remember thinking Rich Gannon was going to light up the Bucs in the second half. Boy was I wrong. Back in the days before I stared hating the Raiders.
-Vikings @ Chargers, 2003. The first year I lived in San Diego and the Chargers sucked. Midway through the season, Doug Flutie is named the starter and wins his first game. On one play he fumbled the ball, picked it up and ran it in for a touchdown. In the post game interview he said he did so good he couldn't even screw up properly. Of course the rest of the season is nothing to remember since they went 4-12 (3 of those games won by Flutie).
-Derek Fisher's 0.4 second shot. Went crazy when that happened. Especially since the Lakers started the series 0-2.
