Anyone else remember this dunk? Just awesome. Vince in his prime was so fun to watch. Love how after the dunk Vince and KG go into Boss mode and get so amped up.

rofl did he really just push that guys face down?

****ing hilarious....I don't remember seeing that at all. I didn't keep up with 2000's dream team

Derek Redmond after injury in the '92 Olympics

That was a really moving vid to watch of Redmond Dirty. I think any athlete of any level would find that inspirational.

Apologies for the Creed music but that is definitely inspirational.

Speaking of inspirational... Jimmy Valvano. And it reminds me of this famous clip from the '83 National Championship game.

I watched a biography yesterday which reminded me of at sport who's heavyweight class is a thing of yesterday. When I was growing up though it was a its height with Iron Mike at the helm. There are several memorable knockouts shown in a series of historic fights. In a sport thats all but forgotten.

Dude

Good call, there is nobody like Iron Mike. Sometimes I feel bad for the guy, other times I think he deserves the troubles that have come upon him. As a boxer though, nobody was more fierce or ruthless in their prime. Like a lot of guys will say stuff just for hype or that they don't really mean, but iron Mike was just RAW. When the dude said he wanted to kill people in the ring, I think he really meant it. Like Mike said, he was a "nigga." In Mike's own words, he was a street hoodlum. It's like he didn't grow up understanding how to say things politely or even caring. I don't know, I love mike as a personality and he was so great for boxing and in my opinion the all-time knockout king.

You are right though, boxing is dead. Seems like MMA has just completely wiped boxing out. I think a lot of it has to do with Mayweather though. Cause in the past decades you had these great boxers that were just so memorable. Ali, Frazier, Liston, Foreman, Douglas, Lennox Lewis, Tyson, Hopkins, Jones Jr, De La Hoya etc. And Mayweather is great but he isn't like the rest of those all-time greats. He doesn't knock anyone out, he dances around the ring and wins split decisions and kills half the crowd by boring them to death. He just runs his mouth like an idiot and I don't know how he gets the pay per view crowds that he does but more power to him. He's just such a complete douchebag, I don't think he has any friends or fans lol. And he is scared to face Pacquiao who is really the best in the business, he just doesn't run his mouth all through the media. I don't see boxing ever being relevant again. Especially cause it's all pay per view and stuff and people can see a lot of MMA guys on regular TV like Spike or whatever.

Dude, look up Brian Kenny - Floyd Mayweather interviews. There's a couple of them but they are hilarious I think.

Just watched some tape of Mayweather-Kenny interviews. A well spoken champ he is not in the least. Good thing they dont get paid for their self reservation and intellect, I admire his passion though for what he does. Unorthodox methods of thinking paves the way for drama, and drama's entertaing to a large number of people. In whatever industry that drama finds itself in..it just makes for excitment. Thats the impression I get from him. I bet he's a trip to drink with. But someone you would have to take in small doses. Its easy to see the reason he would alienate friends of any kind. I think its funny though and id definatley drink some beer with the guy.

Heres some epic footage of the drama king himself doing what he does best. This was during his days in Philly and fued with Mcnabb. It cracks me up to watch his outbursts and borderline insane type behavior. I think he's just passionate as well for his profession. His feelings were very much worn on his sleeves and just didnt know or care about the rational approach one should take. As far as expressing his opinion or views causing him to earn his place in history. As one of the biggest troublemakers in football. Still do what do..I think its funny
. Most people of great passion are often misunderstood in all kinds of different professions. The extremist addictive type personalities are the biggest contributing factors of sucess and self destruction. These all or nothing attitudes fuel their ambition to be te best and go that extra mile. But at the same time make it hard to decifer whether the bridges they burn in the process are worth the price their paying. Heres a prime exzample of this type of behavior thats always fun to watch.

The last super bowl that my Cowboys were in. About midway in the 3rd quarter with the Steelers driving down the field. Dallas was in need of some help from their deffense to get the momentum back in their favor. The 13 to 7 score certainly left room for a Steeler t.d. to pave the way for a late game comeback. However just in the nick of time a Larry Brown interception delivers a blow to their confidence that allowed Dallas to regain control of the game. Definatley the turning point in the game. Allowing history to run its course and granting Dallas their 5th Super Bowl victory. (Interceptions around 14:00 mins in)
