My top 5 ( a tiny bit biased but not by much )
5) Reggie Miller scoring 25 points in the 4th qrt at Madison Sqaure Garden agains the Knicks , helping the Pacers win the game and giving the infamous choke sign to Spike Lee. One of the best rivalries ever. Knicks/Pacers
4) Peyton Manning breaking the single season TD record throwing his 49th to Brandon Stokely against the Chargers.
3) David Ortiz in the 2004 ALCS. Nuff said
2) Jordans buzzer beater over Ehloe. Thats where the Jordan phenomenon started and i'd argue thats the most rerunned buzzer beater in NBA history.
1) Kirk Gibsons HR off Dennis Eck in the 1st game of the World Series. I watched Beyond the Glory where they focused on that. Simply amazing.
Honerable mentions ( for me atleast ) : Miller pushing off Jordan and nailing the game winning 3 pointer in his face. It was a statement . I'm not sure any guard ever rised to the occasion against Jordan like Reggie did in that game. He was on a bum ankle. Some would argue that he pushed off, but i'd argue that theres 5 seconds to go let them play. And play they did. The Pacers went on to lose that series. But during the Bulls domination of basketball. The Pacers were the only team to seriously give them a run. And that shot should be played when Reggie goes to the HoF. He truely stuck it to the man that night.
