2. Iverson game 1, 2001 finals.

Yeah.. that was a great one. The 76ers were clearly over-matched and Iverson certainly outdid himself on that one

1. Watching Jim Abbott play for the first time. I was in awe of a one handed pitcher and many of us after he made his debut started to do the put the glove over our hand thing. I forgot if he won that game, but it was so cool.
2. Bo Jackson breaks his hip. I was in shock as my hero was carried off the field. They replayed the play over and over again. It was a sad moment, but not as sad as number 5.
3. Kurt Gibson's home run. This was before Jim Abbott made me an Angels fan. The whole Southern California went nuts. You'd think the Dodgers won after that, but it was just game 1. It was a moment that energizes the Dodgers past the heavily favored A's.
4. Lakers vs. Bulls, Magic vs. Air Jordan. This was pre His Airness days. I was very much going for the Lakers. Many at my school were pulling for Jordan and they had the shoes. The hype was crazy and when the Lakers won game 1 I was bragging about it at school. I took most the heat after the Bulls won. Many of those classmates are Laker fans today. Bandwagoners.
5. Magic came out HIV positive. I cried. It was the worst moment in sports for me. Magic was my hero, more so than Bo or Jim Abbott. For as long as I was alive, Magic was winning titles for the Lakers. To me no one could ever be better. The whole thing did introduce me to Arsenio and late night TV. But still, I'd rather have Magic play another 5 years and past the torch to Kobe while playing together and be HIV free.

I feel you man.. I can tell we are the same age. And Kansas City was crying over the Bo Jackson injury as well. He was an All-Star with the Royals, as you know. As for Lakers and Bulls that was a lot of hype but I think honestly the Trailblazers were a better team that year. A better memory of the Lakers for me is when Magic threw the ball into the backcourt to let the time run out in defeating the Trailblazers. That was an impressive victory for the Lakers because Portland was so explosive that year.
