Ben Johnson’s 9.79 win over Carl Lewis remains my all time sports moment ever. No matter what happened after, that finish was the only thing that tops The Bat Flip for me.
@TheOakLeafs The Bat Flip is your second all time of all sports?
@TheOakLeafs That’s huge. I’m an outsider & didn’t get to live that moment but it always seemed like the Kawhi shot, for example, would resonate more. The Bat Flip was round 1, and they lost after, so I kind of assumed it would fade in time as a “great moment”. I love hearing this stuff.
