I get what you're going for here, but it loses steam when you know he has two DUIs to his name.

Not going for anything besides a dumb joke. Had no idea he had DUIs. He did get caught with a bong or something didn't he? I obviously don't care about his weed or anyone else's.
i was fucking there
Hands down, the greatest sports moment I'll ever live. Been to a world series game, been to a western conference finals game, been to another rose bowl national championship game. Nothing compares. When that 4th and 2 stop happened, and VY trotted onto the field, you could feel it. An entire years worth of hype and drama climaxing in one drive, capped by a 4th and 5 for the national championship with 19 seconds left in the game.
Abso-fucking-lutely the greatest game I'll ever see.
Federer vs Nadal in the 2008 Wimbledon Mens Finals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Wimbledon_Championships_–_Men's_singles_final). Watching this live was incredible.
Paul Pierce crapping his pants mid-game and trying to pass it off as a life threatening injury.

I love pro-wrestling but adding pro-wrestling to 'greatest sports event moment of all time' is like citing Michael J Fox's epic comeback in Teen Wolf or Carlton Banks airballing the half-court game winning shot to lose in Fresh Prince.
That's what I'm saying yes he got caught with the bong. I took the joke as "you shouldn't like him he smokes weed" /s type deal. Its true don't hate him for the weed. Gonna judge the fuck out of him for multiple DUIs though.
Edit- that being said I hope he learned the error of his ways and has improved himself.
A teenage Nadal beating Federer to win his first Wimbledon and this is when Federer was still young and at his peak form.

I can still hear the announcer. "BANG!!!" So goooood

What makes this even more crazy is that the trophy had already been wheeled out for the Spurs and everyone was ready for the post-game celebrations, they were about to even start passing out the shirts and hats to the Spurs bench!! When it was clear Miami was gonna win in OT, the Spurs bench had to watch the trophy being wheeled back into the back room. Talk about just killing your team's morale. They ended up winning it the next year anyway, but damn that had to be gut-wrenching after being actual seconds away from winning the title!
Man I love scenes of crowds going batshit insane, doesn't matter the sport. That celebration is amazing.

This was one of the greatest sports moments to exchange stories about. We all had a friend who missed the first 20 minutes and tuned in to find out Germany was up 3-0.
It's gotta be Bob Beamon's long jump. It was so far beyond what anyone had been doing at the time they couldn't use the official measuring tools they had, they had to use a manual tape
This is all going to depend on what sport you like and/or who you support.
For me, it would have a to be England winning the Rugby World Cup in 2003 against Australia. Johnny Wilkinson kicks England to a fairy tale World Cup win in Australia. Beautiful.

I think we nearly blew the roof off my house when this happened, and it was only the 7th damn inning, and they still nearly lost.The Bautista bat flip comes in third there.
It's hard to believe we're two and a half generations removed from the Leafs doing anything memorable.
The other two, I think I danced with my cat when Leonard's shot dropped, so damn tense and I needed to unwind.
I was 8 when Carter hit that home run, so I don't remember what I was doing, but it was big for my 8 year old self. My whole family was watching that game at my grandparents house. The Jays where my grandfather's team.
To add to this:
Sorry USA
I was going to say the entirety of game five 2017 world series. Was an amazing game.
As a Titans fan, this is my personal greatest moment even though I wasn't old enough to remember watching it.
As already mentioned, the US men's Olympic hockey team's win over the Soviet Union in 1980, the Miracle on Ice.
I can't say the best but I watched T-Mac 13 in 33 live and still the best sporting moment for me. Everyone was leaving those that stayed saw an amazing moment. Never leave until the final buzzer.
From a personal level, when the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the New England Patriots with BIG DICK NICK FOLES. I was at a bar in Philly and the whole damn city was shutdown. Philly sports is in our blood and we finally had our moment.
From a historical level, it has to be the Jesse Owens moment. So signficant to our culture and our way of life.

Ah, I remember this day too far well.
My brother was up visiting me in University, we went and watched this game at the Uni's bar and were obviously incredibly happy when we got that penalty.
And then the rest happened...

As a Heat fan this will always be it for me. I will never forget where I was in this exact moment.
Of recent, it was Origi's goal to put LFC up 4-0 after losing 3-0 to Barça in the first leg. Felt bad for Suarez but watching a gutted Messi walk off the pitch at Anfield was thoroughly satisfying.
Go Reds.
Go Reds.
