    I'll have to look to see if I can find the video, but Cecil Shorts burned me on a punt return his senior year of college. My punter booted it away from his coverage and it wasn't pretty.

    Randy Moss.....no one else is even close in football. It was like he was playing a different game.

    In basketball, not sure. Haven't seen a lot. I saw Amare Stoudamire at the McDonalds All-American game and he completely dominated. Also Shelden Williams at Duke against Texas. I've only been to a dozen NBA games or so and don't recall any super performance. I've been to Mavs, Spurs and Knicks home games so I guess Nash, Nowitzki, Rodman and Ewing.

    Baseball - I guess the people that were at the 1988 All Star game in Cincinnati. I don't remember much, I think Terry Steinbach hit a home run, and Chris Sabo represented the Reds.

    Golf - Tiger before the whole incident.
  • Raw Dawgin' it

    Are you 90?


    For me, Jordan and LeBron. Can't recall anyone in any other sport that I saw live that was on that level.

    Yeah, because those guys dominated the game. The other games I saw no one really stood out. Rodman might have grabbed 12 rebounds in the game I saw. I don't know, I don't remember. It was a boring game in December. Ewing was probably Ewing when I saw him at MSG. The Mavs guys were Mavs guys in a random NBA game.

    Anyone that saw Stoudemire in the McDonald's game was taken back by how athletically gifted he was. He might not have had a stellar NBA career but at his age, he was completely dominant. Same thing with Shelden Williams. Texas couldn't stop him.
  • End of Line
    NHL: Mario Lemiuex, Jaromir Jagr, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Steve Yzerman, Joe Sakic, Patrick Roy, Martin Broduer

    JJ Redick dominated that game against Texas.

    Stoudemire dominated to the tune of 10 points and 7 boards. 5th leading scorer for his team. Redick was MVP of the game. http://northcarolina.scout.com/2/42696.html

    TB is right, Redick lit up Texas for 41 points on 9 three-pointers. Williams had 23 and 6. Duke won by 27.

    I think you secretly hate JJ Redick. I know I did when he was at Duke.
