1. 2005 NCAA Midwest Regional Final; Illinois (1) beats Arizona (9) 90-89 in OT
Illinois was down by 15 points with 4:00 left in the second half, then went on a 20-5 run where they missed nary a basket, nailed a couple of key threes, and applied the fiercest full court press I've ever seen. Arizona was still playing well, but Illinois was out of this world. With 45 seconds left, Arizona was inbounding the ball still up by 3. The pass was deflected, quickly kicked out to Deron Williams who nailed the three-pointed, and Illinois rode the momentum. With 10 seconds left, Arizona had a chance to win, got an open look, missed, got the rebound, and All-American Salim Stoudamire had his shot blocked. Illinois was just one step ahead in OT and won when Arizona missed another open shot. As an Illinois fan, my jaw was permanently down the last 2 minutes + OT.
3. 1991 World Series, Game 6. Minnesota 4, Atlanta 3.
In the eleventh inning, after four pitches, Kirby Puckett belted a homerun to deep center field to keep the Twinkies in a Series no one believed they deserved to be in. Called the greatest World Series in baseball history by ESPN, the series ended in Game 7 after 10 scoreless innings of pitching by Jack Morris, which, when you think about it, is pretty unbelievable.
5. May 7, 1989 -- "The Shot" -- Chicago Bulls 101, Cleveland Cavs 100
Jordan goes right, gets stopped, goes left, elevates, stays up IMPOSSIBLY long, and drains a fifteen footer. Then he practically hurdles a Cav while pumping his fist in celebration.
