    Just curious if anyone here has seen any great performances from star players, I've been pretty fortunate to see a bunch of great games/moments.

    Kobe: I've seen him play probably 15-20 times so there's a lot of good options here.

    -Saw the last full game he played before his achilles injury, he got 47 pts, 8 rebs, 5 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals. Incredible game.
    -Saw one of his best dunks ever.

    -Saw his game winning shot in OT against Milwaukee in 2009.
    -Saw him drop 28 points in the 1st half on 12-16 with 7 assists in game 1 2003 against Minnesota. (ended up with 39)



    Alex Rodriguez:

    -Saw him hit 2 homers in a game while he was with Texas.


    Barry Bonds:

    -Saw him play when he was at 753, 2 shy of the record.
    -Saw him hit a HR, it was in the 600s for him.

    Adrian Peterson:

    -Saw the game he got 296.

    Brett Favre:

    -Game winning TD pass to Greg Lewis, ranked his 4th top game ever.

    d--- dude I would have killed to see Kobe 15-20 times. Best I've seen is probably D Rose dropping 42 on the Spurs in Feb of 2011.

    I remember reading after the game that Pop said, "What's great about him is that he seems to love the pressure. He loves putting the team on his back so to speak."

    Saw Pedro strikeout 15 against the Angels back in 99'. He did that like 6 times that year though.

    Best pitcher of all time in his prime and that was his best year, no footage of that game because youtube sucks with baseball s---. Loved this game though, back when Sox/Yanks was a rivalry.

    Are we talking about in person @Kon because 15-20 Kobe games isn't much.

    I was at the Packers Cowboys game in 2013. Down 26-3 at halftime, we came back and won 37-36

    Greatest game I have ever been to and will ever go to

    Yeah in person, could have sworn I put 'live' in the thread title and mentioned it in the OP but apparently not, my bad.
