Larry Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 post your personal candidates here: 1) Michael Jordan's "sick" game - down with stomach flu and looking grayer than a tombstone, MJ battled it all and dumped 38 pts. in a crucial NBA Finals game against Utah. 2) Buster Douglas floors Iron Mike - it was a moment many didn't think would happen ever, but Buster Douglas did just that (although he eventually faded away in his latter years) people will remember this moment forever. 3) Manny Pacquiao beating Barrera down to a bloody pulp - many people didn't think Manny had it in him. In a boxing forum I posted on, I was the only who bet on Manny. Manny showed the world that he really belongs to the all time P4P best fighter list with this performance. 4) Alexander "The Experiment" Karelin - perhaps the greatest modern greco-roman wrestler the world has ever known. He was undefeated for Thirteen Years and went Ten Years without giving up a single point. That's like a pitcher having 10 years of all perfect games in baseball. I am convinved that Karelin really is an experiment borne out of the Soviet's secret super athlete program. Quote Link to comment

zoudangles Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 If you're talking greatest single performance (as opposed to a great career): Bob Beamon's long jump in Mexico City during the 1968 Olympics, when he broke the world record by almost two feet. That record stood for more than two decades. Diego Maradona's Goal of the Century vs. England, 1986, just minutes after he scored the infamous "Hand of God" goal. Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game in 1962 while with the Philadelphia Warriors. Quote Link to comment
edc Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Obviously si Larry Bird. Sabihin sa opponents how many points ang score nya. Where and When he will shoot the last shot. Before the game pupunta sa opposing teams bench para sabihin kung ano gagawin. Tigas noh. Give me a player who can talk trash like Bird and tutuparin. Meron mga players na nag-guguarantee na manalo ng game pero sasabihin kung ano ang gagawin at sasabihin san mismo titira.......Mas mahirap ata yun. Not just in one game. Lalo na yung ginawa ni Bird sa Pistons na 15 footer left handed bank shot......Grabe yun. Playoffs tapos having fun. Ibang klase. Quote Link to comment

Labuyo Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 post your personal candidates here:*snip* 2) Buster Douglas floors Iron Mike - it was a moment many didn't think would happen ever, but Buster Douglas did just that (although he eventually faded away in his latter years) people will remember this moment forever. *snip* i'd file this under "lucky punch" before i classify this as "greatest single performance" how about steffi graf's golden slam?or lance armstrong's 7 tour de france victories?

rldelrosario Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 how bout Moses (forgot his last name) winning 100+ races in succession?? i believe your referring to edwin moses, u.s.a. 400 hurdles. 122 consecutive wins Quote Link to comment

digitalsober Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Kobe's 81 pt. performance for me.. yes, he did ballhog on that game but still.. 81 pts. is 81 pts. Quote Link to comment
Larry Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 wilts 100 point game with no 3 point line is more impressive..... not really, considering that there was no shot clock then, and he was the biggest player around you just had to stand around the hoop and drill it. some more to add: The Miracle Game - a US team composed of college hockey stars beats the unbeatable russians, in what has to be the most amazing display of heart from a team ever. Mark Spitz in the '72 olympics - 7 gold medals in one olympics. A record that still holds true today. Lance Armstrong in all of his Tour De France outings. That man is all sorts of bad ass. Jim Thorpe 1912 olympics - won gold medals in the decathlon AND the Pentathlon. Hailed by King Gustav of Sweden as the greatest athlete in the world (Jim Thorpe would go on to have careers in baseball, football, and basketball, no other athlete has done the same since). Jessie Owens punking Hitler's Aryan Might with 4 golds in the 1936 olympics. Ditto with the Tiger Woods owning people in the 97 Masters Kerri Strug winning the gold in 1996 after tearing two ligaments in her ankle, she still manages to pull off the maneouver and lands it on one foot. Nadia Comaneci - first and youngest woman to score a perfect 10 in an Olympic gymnastic event. Quote Link to comment

koopahl Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 nolan ryan's perfect game against the toronto blue jays, may 1, 1991...his 7th perfect game and no-hitter of his illustrious career...no other Major League pitcher, or player for that matter, has come close... the oldest person to ever set a record in the Ironman Triathlon-Kona was 75-year-old Jim Ward...his 5:51:46 record for the 75-79 age group set in 1992 still stands Quote Link to comment
