along with a Steal by Bird, the Legend of the Bloody Sock, Adam Vinietari's kicks in 2002. Orr flying through the ice, and the comebacker to Kieth Foulke.

I'm gonna disagree, it's the greatest moment in sports history. It's the Battle Green of Lexington. Yes, it was a tidbit skirmish near Mass Ave but we all know that the end result was our great nation.

Sorry, but this needs to go into the National Archives.



It already has. Its as archived as a great moment as sports gets.

- Pierce's dribble and trash talking that his defender couldn't stop him before pulling back and hitting the three for the game winner. I think that was like a Mother's Day playoff game versus someone, can't remember who or was that the NJ comeback game? Kinda fuzzy.
I think it was against the Pacers.


It was, and I'm pretty sure the unfortunate victim was Al Harrington.  Wasn't a game winner though, it was the end of the 3rd.

EDIT:  Yup.

- That famous Bill Russell block where he blocks it on the run while turning his body and blocking the ball to a team mate to start a fast break.
- That famous Cousy dribbling footage where he's dribbling crazy ala a Harlem Globetrotter.

Anybody have clips of these?  I'm not familiar with the Russell one at least, and I'm not sure about this particular Cousy clip either.

No, It is a play I take to the grave with me along with a Steal by Bird, the Legend of the Bloody Sock, Adam Vinietari's kicks in 2002. Orr flying through the ice, and the comebacker to Kieth Foulke.

You can't great plays like that to the curb.

Don't forget Flutie's Hail Mary and Carlton Fisk's home run.

Is that Russell block in there? This school computer is ridiculously slow, so I can't watch it.

^Cousy dribbling machine.

Havlicek's steal clinched the win for a championship, in game seven, by one point!!

That play should never fade into history!

Conference finals - it clinched a spot in the Finals, which we then won in less dramatic fashion.
