    Default Best Sporting Matches You've Ever Seen?

    Could by any sport. Football, basketball, NFL, tennis etc.

    My top 5:

    1. Chelsea 4-2 Barcelona CL 2005(this game had everything. Chelsea up 3-0, then Ronaldinho scores a sick goal before Terry clinches it)
    2. Patriots - Seahawks SB last year
    3. Spurs - Pistons 2005 NBA Finals Game 5
    4. Spurs - Lakers 2004 WCSF Game 5(sh*t result, but ridiculous game between the 2 best teams of the 00s and 2 dynasties at their peaks)
    5. Isner - Mahut Wimbledon 2010

    Depends on if what will go down more in history or simply personal enjoyment.. I'll make my list when I'm home.

    I did watch Isner/Mahut live, on several days ;)

    1. Lakers threepeat-probably the Robert Horry shot vs the Queens is what I remember most.

    2. Mamba's 81

    3. Mamba's game winner vs Wade in staples. This is the only regular season Laker game I ever went to. We were down by 4 with a minute left, but EVERYONE in the stadium knew we'd win that game, staples was celebrating before Fish even his his shot. Once Fish got his 3, we knew the game was locked up and Kobe sealed it. This was a holy moment.

    4. Chelsea CL finals victory

    5. Chelsea defeating Barcelona in Nou Camp. A masterful clutch performance with 10 men, and Torres even scored.

    There is a lot since I watch nothing but sports.

    I really have to think this one out.

    That one... so strictly live:

    and the previous '11 US Open final which probably resulted in the greatest level of tennis I've ever seen.

    I saw Madrid having the most dominant league campaign ever (2012), the 2014 Champions League Final and Ramos goal, beating Bayern 4-0 and Bayern whopping Barca 7-0 over 2 legs...

    Wolfsburg beating Bayern 5-1 at their apex and winning the Bundes (Stuttgart 2 years prior to that).

    Bayern's/Robben's 2010 miracle CL run (actually had to shut the TV off because I couldnt take it during the United 2nd leg)

    I saw some GOAT individual campaigns with:
    2011 playoffs Dirk, 2012-2013 LeBron, Nadal in 2010 and 2013, Djokovic in 2011, Ronaldo 2012-2014 (didnt see before), Messi in 2012 and 2015..

    I saw Germany beating Brazil 7-1, and I saw the 2006 Italy/Germany SF, and I think I cried.. the following Italy/France final.. I think I also saw Greece win the EURO's.

    Oh, I saw the 2013 French Open match between Nadal and Djokovic as well

    I saw The Rock's Comeback ('11) That was awesome though

    Not too much old stuff outside the Football ones.

    Oh yes, I did see Pats/Seahawks Superbowl, I think..

    Liverpool/AC Milan '05 though At least I assume you mean that one.

    Also caught that Nets/Bulls game...

    and of course I forgot, Spurs/Heat game 6!

    Mavs sweeping Lakers by fifty, beating Miami, Heat/Celtics game 6... perhaps the best playoff first round ever in '14, sadly eventually one too few upsets.

    I thought the Roddick vs. Hewitt in 2001 US Open was really entertaining since I liked both players at the time and Roddick was the fan fav.

    The craziest game i saw live was Dortmund Malaga back in 2013

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOOKbrJUmf8

    As far as watching on tv:

    1. Liverpool-Milan 2005
    2. Pats-Seahawks SB
    3. Spurs-Heat game 6 2013
    4. Barca-Chelsea CL semi-final 2nd game, Chelsea winning with 10 man against the by far best team in the world and Torres scores the goal. I'm not even a Chelsea fan and jumped around like an idiot. Best defensive performance of all time by that Chelsea team.
    5. Heat-Mavericks game 2, Mavs were down by 15 with 6 minutes to go. The Heat would be up 2-0 and probably sweep the series, but than the greatest comeback in NBA finals history happened.

    Didnt you watch the Germany - Italy SF as well in Dortmund? Unbelievable game of football even though it took 119 minutes before a goal came.
