Greatest sport comebacks uve been in. Share em.

Post by 0ojakeo0 »

Okay so the boys and girls club in my town runs a big basketball tourney that all the good aau teams and state champs come. its high level competition and most of the games are good. So we win Friday night by 3 and today were playing a team from Boston.We trade baskets early but then they hit two 3s and go into halftime up 7.so we cant really cut into the lead and with a minute left were down 7. we hit one free throw then miss get the rebound a cut it to 4. we make a quick steal and get the basket and the foul . they miss the free throw and i grab the rebound and tie the game up. Then with 3 seconds left we foul and the kids hits both to go up 2. I throw a hail mary pass to a teammate who NAILS the jumper. so we go crazy and the overtime is first to 5( weird i know). so after we hit 3 free throws i go coast to coast after a steal and lay it in for th win.

So I was at the state chess final of my senior year, playing Board 1 since the usual Board 1 got pulled from the team for bad grades. We were up against one of the higher ranked schools, and considering that we were only 3-2 so far our hopes weren't exactly high. I played their first board, who had gone undefeated so far, pretty well (aside from a pawn I couldn't hang onto) until about 30 moves in I missed an obvious pin that lost my rook to his bishop. Although things at first seemed pretty dismal, I realized that under a proper trade I could get my pawn back and end up only being down a rook to a bishop. After playing passively for a while and trading off most of our major pieces, he moved his last rook into a very aggressive position, and there was no way for me to stop him from gobbling most of my pawns: just what I was hoping for. After a little maneuvering and a bishop sack I had two connected passed pawns on his 6th rank, and he didn't have enough time to bring his overly aggressive pieces back to stop my promotion. After I won our 4th board grabbed me by the soldiers and told me I was a fucking hero. We won the match by a few points and went on to win the last round to end with a record of 5-2. What made it even better was that two of our best players weren't there, and even with them we were only hoping for a 4-3. Best weekend of my life.

This season I've saved us from a loss twice already. Both times I was the last person playing on our team. The first one was almost sheer luck, I was down by one Knight but spotted a combination through which I could get my opponents Rook, I didn't want to push my luck however and 10 moves later we agreed to a draw which secured us the 3 - 3.
The next game was 3 - 2 against us, I had to win. Luckily I had played a very aggressive game taking two of the other guys pawns in front of his King at the cost of a bishop and managed to use one of my Knights and my second Bishop to keep the King from getting away and my opponents other pieces from easily getting there. I kept up the pressure, got a third pawn, a Bishop at no cost and set him checkmate a little later. Didn't work today though, but then again, that team is undefeated in 6 games.

American Football, Buffalo Bills v. Houston Oilers, 1992 AFC Wild Card game.

Bills were down 28-3, end up winning 41-38 in overtime.

Buffalo was behind by 32 at one point. Largest points deficit-to-comeback in NFL history.

Yup, only one team can win them all, and sometimes nobody does.

1986 World Series...I always root for the National League over the American League. But man, I couldn't have felt worse for Bill Buckner. Only 1 out away from winning it all and then...
