@BriaMo777 Sid Vicious. The Sex Pistols bassist became a punk-rock icon after dying of a heroin overdose at 21. But his reputation was built more on his image, attitude, and notoriety than his musical ability. He was a limited bassist and guitarist Steve Jones had to do recordings.
@TheCinesthetic The OA. Season 2 ends with the characters jumping into a reality where they're actors filming The OA. It completely changes our understanding of the series and sets up an entirely new direction. Then Netflix cancelled after just two seasons of a planned five-season story.
@Travis1 2020 Stefon Diggs–Justin Jefferson trade. Buffalo got an established No. 1 receiver to help Josh Allen develop into an elite quarterback. Minnesota got a younger, cheaper replacement for a receiver who wanted a change of scenery.
@Travis1 Jerry Sloan. He spent 23 seasons coaching the Utah Jazz and built one of the most consistently competitive teams in NBA history. 13 seasons with 50+ wins and three seasons with 60+ wins. 15 consecutive playoff appearances from 1989 through 2003. 2 Finals appearances. 1,221 wins.
@Travis1 2007 New England Patriots. They had an extraordinary roster: Tom Brady, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Richard Seymour, Vince Wilfork, Asante Samuel, and Rodney Harrison. The Patriots were minutes away from the first 19–0 season in NFL history.
@Travis1 Rich Gannon. He spent most of his 20s as an unremarkable quarterback, bouncing between Minnesota, Washington, and Kansas City. He was 33 when he joined the Oakland Raiders in 1999 and finally became an elite starter. He won the 2002 NFL MVP at age 37.
@HawkEmDownChris Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals (Michael Jordan's Flu Game). Jordan was visibly exhausted, battling illness, and playing against a Utah Jazz team featuring Karl Malone and John Stockton. The series was tied 2–2, and Chicago desperately needed a win.
@Travis1 Michael Vick. In his Atlanta Falcons prime (2001–2006), Vick made football look like a completely different sport. He had a cannon for an arm, ridiculous acceleration, and the ability to turn a broken play into a 50-yard touchdown.
@FastbreakHoops5 Barry Sanders on the Detroit Lions. He could turn a three-yard loss into a 60-yard touchdown, make multiple defenders miss in a phone booth, and produce a highlight out of absolutely nothing.
@VinnysCorner1 Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier III. Frazier would win their trilogy 2–1, permanently changing how boxing history remembers their rivalry. His extraordinary toughness and determination would receive the recognition they deserved. Frazier would have the defining victory of his life.
@Travis1 Peyton Manning in 2013. After four neck surgeries cost him the entire 2011 season, the Indianapolis Colts released Manning in 2012. At 36, many questioned whether he could ever return to elite form. Two years later he produced arguably the greatest statistical quarterback season.
@thahooper2005 2015-16 Curry was arguably the most devastating offensive weapon in NBA history. 50.4% from the field, 45.4% from three, 90.8% from the line, 402 made threes, a unanimous MVP and a 73–9 regular-season record. Luka is the more physically imposing, ball-dominant offensive creator.
@Sourceofboxing Usyk. The biggest factors are Usyk's experience against elite heavyweights, his footwork and defensive positioning, and his ability to make adjustments over 12 rounds.
@Travis1 Wilt Chamberlain. The NBA expanded the free-throw lane from 12 to 16 feet in 1964, partly to limit his dominance near the basket. Rules against offensive basket interference helped prevent exceptionally tall players from exploiting shots near the rim.
