Shaq hangs with Brendan Adams

Brendan is only 12 years old and 7'4" tall. He suffers from a genetic problem so rare he is the only one in the world known to have it. Doctors have finally slowed his growth, but he has other physical problems (such as a fatty tumor in his brain) and his life span is unknown. Shaq is so cool with this kid.

Mariah Carey Pitches

Mariah Carey throws out the first pitch at a Japanese baseball game. I think it was the shoes that caused her to do so poorly. Well, at least she's good at other stuff.

This first ran in the 1993 Super Bowl. One of the best commercials ever, with two of the greatest basketball players ever, ending on top of one of the tallest buildings ever.

This has been on ESPN a lot, but here it is anyway. The NCAA determined the ref was trying to get out of the way. By running towards the player. And blocking him into the tackler.

Eric 'The Eel' Moussambani

Although he swam at half the speed of the record holder, Moussambani won his heat because the other two swimmers false-started. Before coming to the Olympics, Moussambani had never seen an Olympic-size swimming pool. He took up swimming only 8 months before the Olympics and had practiced in a 20m pool at a hotel in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.

This animation of Cheech & Chong's song "Basketball Jones" from 1975 was featured in a great scene in the movie "Being There." George Harrison played the wild guitar on this track.
