Being the last day of the year, we all have many good and bad sport memories from 2013. I thought we could start a list of some of our favorite all time sports moments while in the last decade or so. About the time the board has been here. I will start with mine.
1 Christophe Lemaite going sub 10 & sub 20. First white sprinter to ever run the 100 in under 10 seconds. I will add that he won a three gold medals at the European Championships and a bronze at the World Champs. Greatest white sprinter ever and he is only 23.
2 Peyton Hillis running for over 1100 yards for the Cleveland Browns. First white running back to do that in many decades.
3 The Klitschko Brothers dominating the heavyweight division for the last decade!
4 Duke winning the national championship with a nearly all white basketball team.
5 Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavs beating the Heat with Lebron James in the NBA Finals. Dirk won the mvp trophy too.
6 Joe Calazaghe retiring undefeated and also his dominating win over Roy Jones where he clowned him most of the fight.
7 Toby Gerhart leading college football in rushing and finishing 2nd in the heisman. He got screwed but he did win the Doak Walker Award.
8 Jim Thome hitting 600 home runs in a career.
9 Wes Welker dominating the nfl in yards and receptions for most of the last 6 years.
10 Johnny Manziel winning the heisman.
This list could go on and on. I would throw Tim Tebow winning the heisman and leading the broncos to the playoffs. Also Jimmer Fredette leading the country in scoring and taking his team deep into march madness. Countless other memories but I will save them for you guys.
Looking forward to reading all of your top sports moments.
Happy new years to all of the members and my friends here. May 2014 be the best year ever! :becky:
