I was watching this again today, and even as a guy who doesn't routinely follow the NBA I find this incredibly moving:

The shot at 1:50 is particularly incredible.

I know the Olympics shows time and again that athletes are getting stronger, faster, and bigger every year, but I still feel that there is a certain beauty to true legends that has its source in more than nostalgia.

Anyway, just thought I'd share.
