Most Memorable Sports Moment Ever?

 

There are obviously hundreds of possibilities (Michael Jordan's Jumper to Beat the Jazz in the 1998 NBA finals, Boise State's Statue-of-Liberty Play to Beat Oklahoma in 2007's Fiesta Bowl, Chamberlain's 100 point performance against the Knicks in 1962, Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile in 1954, Joe Namath guaranteeing a Jets victory over the Colts in the 1968 Super Bowl and making good on it, Bill Mazeroski's 10th inning homer to beat the Yankees in the 1960 World Series, Franco Harris's "immaculate reception" to beat the Raiders in a 1973 playoff game, Cassius Clay defeating a seemingly invincible Sonny Liston to win the Heavyweight championship in 1964, Joe Montana hitting Dwight Clark in the back of the end-zone to beat the Cowboys in the 1980 NFC championship game, etc., etc.)......but I'm gonna' go a little rogue here. For me it was the Dan Reeves halfback pass to Lance Rentzel in the 1967 NFL championship game (AKA, the Ice Bowl), a perfectly executed play that briefly put the Cowboys ahead 17-14 (literally every Packer defender thought that it was a run, including Hall of Fame cornerback, Willie Wood). Granted, it would have been a lot MORE memorable had the Cowboys won (instead we're left with that image of Bart Starr sneaking it in from the one and Green Bay winning 21-17) but, still, Rentzel having to negotiate sheer ice to not only catch the ball but run it in as well, it definitely gets my vote.
