Basically, anything Simone Biles does.
Sloan Stephens when she found out how much her check was going to be after winning the US Open.
The Spurs dismantling LeBron's super team
No horse winning the Triple Crown since 1978 until American Pharaoh and Justify in 2015 and 2018, respectively

Gold medal in the face!
The day after the Raptors championship......the music further into the video and the rant about the dark days of the Raptors still makes me crack up

Just saying, that stretch that culminated with that game winner was the most remarkable sports story I've ever seen. I'm not even a knicks fan, Linsanity was just amazing. Real life Rudy, only not a piece of shit and not made up.
In terms of historic importance...I really don't think anything can beat the Cubs. A century of failure finally redeemed in the record books.

Not just the Cavs winning the first title in Cleveland in 52 years in the most impossible fashion possible, but the parade that should've taken an hour or two to complete took 6+ hours because the police and city crew forgot to put up the barriers on the sidewalks to keep the crowd away. That lead to cars and trucks with the players, coaches, and other people from the team moving very slowly through the crowds and turned a quick parade through a few blocks into an all-day celebration of the greatest NBA title of all time.
This. Linsanity is simply amazing.
An end of the bench guy scoring that much, making those plays, winning those games. It wasn't gradual improvement he just exploded.
There's nothing else I can think of that happened that suddenly.
I'd say the first 16 seed to beat a number 1 seed in 140 tries is more historic.
you didn't even have to be a basketball fan to be amazed by it. Shit, I hate the Knicks, but I loved Linsanity. You couldn't script a better movie.

Same thing happened at the Raptors parade =/

Hahahahaha. Hahahahaha. Hahahahahaha.
The sad thing is, some people actually would say this with a straight face.
Probably the best thing he's done in an unremarkable career thus far though. Other than pulling his pants down and sexually harassing that woman in Arizona.
Celtic winning an unprecedented Treble Treble in the Scottish Cup Final last year.
The whole of London 2012 was amazing as a Brit but Mo Farah winning the 5000m stands out in particular.

2nd time that happened, if we want to get pedantic. And the NCAA tournament really only came to prominence in the late 70s/early 80s. A century of failure! Think about how many people were still ALIVE in the US who could have seen the last Cubs World Series victory before 2016. There are less than 100 people alive today who were around back then.

There was never anyone who had ever lived who had seen a 16 seed beat a 1 seed in the NCAA men's tournament prior to 2018. You are comparing a single team's failure, to the historical failures of hundreds of teams across the entire sport. It's undeniable that the 16 seed beating the 1 seed in Men's basketball was more historic, given what it means to the entire sport, and not just one team.
Not even close. Hell, there have been upsets this year in college basketball that are just as impressive, if not more so, then the 16 seed beating the 1 seed. There is no historical failure of hundreds of teams if none are expected to win. You cant fail if you're not expected to succeed. Unlike the single team who literally had dozens of legitimate chances to change their history and they failed spectacularly.
Personally, it's this. And it's not even remotely close. I lost my dad in 2008, and couldn't go back to watch my football club after he passed as it was just too painful. Then, almost 9 years to the day, I went back to watch my team, languishing in the non-league, take on a team 3 divisions higher in the FA Cup. And in the dying moments, this happened. i still get goosebumps. This led to us going on a run for the history books, becoming the first non-league club in over 100 years to get to the quarter finals of the competition, 2 promotions and another trophy in 3 years, and led to the manager being poached by a club in a higher league, sadly. This moment put football back in my heart.
