Be specific.
Mine has to be game 5 of the 1989 NBA Eastern Conference Finals. Growing up as a Pistons fan they slowly took 1 small step each year for about 5 years and were behind to the young Chicago Bulls 2-1 in a series they were heavily favored to win.
Late in the game John Salley had a breakaway dunk to put the icinig on the cake and to take a 3-2 series lead. I always remember that play and being so excitied they were going to put the Bulls away and go to the finals, were they ended up sweeping the Lakers and winning their 1st NBA title.
The championship series was somewhat of a letdown as the Lakers were injured and old and the outcome was inevitable early in the series. It was a slow building process for the Pistons and I was there everywhere step of the way growing up with them. You just sort of knew they were going to win at that point even though there was some games left. That moment to me is what the most excited I was as a sportsfan.
