Favorite Play in Sports

A defensive lineman getting a turnover and trying to run it in
A goalie in hockey getting caught out of position and somehow diving to make a save
A successfully defended corner kick in soccer turning into a counter
Also, blocking a layup in basketball. This would be the most famous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GD8feepwrE but honestly Tayshaun Prince did this several times in his career.

 

Agree on the defensive lineman with the turnover for the TD. There was a 49ers lineman who had an interception for a TD back in the 1990s. I thought it was Michael Carter, but they're showing that he never scored a TD.

The bicycle kick in soccer.
The falling out of bounds shot in basketball.
A successful Hail Mary that goes to the player targeted by the QB. I'm thinking Flutie-Phelan, Stewart-Westbrook
A walkoff HR in baseball
The called third strike to end an inning.
A RB or a returner who is hit by eight or more defenders who still scores.
A triple or inside the park HR where there is clearly no error.
Stealing home when it's not a passed ball.

 

Flea flicker!

 

The back-to-your-opponent, between-the-legs shot in tennis. Usually done in desperation, but sometimes . . .

The ol' Statue-of-Liberty play.

 

"Say what?"

 

A perfectly executed hip check.

 

One I left out -- in hoops, when a defender pulls the chair.

 

Fake punts and kicks.

Punters trying to run the clock out before taking a safety.

Goalies shooting at the open net.

Half court shots.

 

The flea-flicker.

 

The game-losing UNintentional walk following the intentional walk to "set up the force."

 

A really well-oiled 6-4-3 for the double play.

Oscar Robertson.

The RB giving a tackler a leg, then taking it back.
