Best of 2010: Sports Moments
New Orleans Saints win the Superbowl
Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and they have been trying to recover ever since. I’m happy that the fans in New Orleans finally had something to celebrate and cheer about. The game was also super exciting and I don’t really think you can find many athletes as humble as Drew Brees. Here was the game breaker; an onside kick to begin the second half. It was something I had never seen before and I'm still amazed they pulled it off:
Cain Velasquez beats down Brock Lesnar for UFC Heavyweight Championship
I may be a bit biased because me and a some of the L&O crew were actually in the building as this happened but I don't really care because it will continue to be one of the most memorable sports moments of my life. In this match, Cain Velasquez was a huge underdog as most felt like he couldn't match Brock Lesnar's power, athleticism, and overall size. However, Velasquez overcame all odds and became the first Mexican heavyweight champion in all of combat sports. The first video is our crowd reaction to Cain's victory and the second video is a video shot from up in the stands and shows the complete fight:
Blake Griffin is a highlight machine
Now this isn't exactly a specific moment in sports, but a compilation of moments. The Los Angeles Lakers aren't the only reason to love basketball in L.A. we now have Blake Griffin, Power Forward for the L.A. Clippers. And quite honestly Blake has to be one of the most athletic dudes I've ever seen for 6'10. Dude is straight nasty and this is his "official" rookie season. Watch out for him, he's a bad man:
Lakers win NBA Championship in close Game 7
Game 7, two of the most exciting words in all of sports. A Lakers come back victory in the biggest game of the season. 'Nuff said.
Anthony Pettis’ “ninja” kick on Benson Henderson
The thing I've always loved about sports are the moments where you ask yourself "did that just happen?" This is one of those moments. Even a couple weeks after this happened I'm still completely bewildered that such a maneuver can happen in MMA and after at least 60 times of watching it over and over, I guess it's finally sunk in. Keep in mind that this happened in the last round of a really competitive fight. In my opinion the fight was a complete draw up until that last round then Pettis brought out the kick that had every MMA fan jumping out of their seat. I've said it once and I'll say it again, Anthony Pettis is definitely one of the most exciting fighters in all of MMA and is definitely one to watch out for:
Stay gold.
