    In your mind what is the greatest sports play ever to be achieved? It could be The California-Stanford finish, Hank Aaron's 716 homer, Michael Jordan's shot against Cleveland, or any other play that you might remember. What do you think is the greatest sports play of all-time?

    The greatest play with arguably the greatest game ever on the line.

    Ha! Ha! I literally got emotional after watching that play again as if something different would happen. Kind of like watching the movie Titanic and hoping the boat wouldn't sink.

    Vince Young is incredible!

    It doesn't look that good at first because the video quality is ****, but the replay shows how magnificent of a play this was - Bergkamp controlled the pass perfectly, nutmegged the defender and struck it past a well-placed keeper. Bergkamp wasn't a flashy striker, but his technique was picture-perfect.

    Of course, the importance of the game (World Cup quarters) and the insane Dutch broadcaster adds to the moment

    Bob Tway's bunker shot in 1986 to beat Greg Norman. That was amazing.

    My bad, the one above doesn't have a replay. This one does:

    Many of Bo Jackson's plays, both in football and baseball, would be high on my list.

    I've always thought that Isiah Rider shot was about the most incredible thing I'd ever seen in sports.... then I saw a guy do the following in a sport I hate, but damn do I have respect for the guy that made it :
