I found this on YouTube, and it is one of the best, if not the best, sports highlight film I've seen. This definitely brought back some memories, good and bad.

Wow, that was awesome. I'm such a baby cause I cried throughout that whole thing. I'm psyched that Sampras was put in the mix and love ending it with Ali. Of course I got pissed when Bonds, MgGwire and Sosa were shown. What a joke, don't dare put them in a great sports reel like that. Also, too many women's hoops moments. I saw like 3 of them, gimme a break.
Some that were missed:
Montana to Taylor to win the SB
Tyson KOing Spinks
Tiger's chip in the Masters last year
Vince Young's run for the winning TD this year
Smart's jumper at the buzzer to give Indiana the 87' title
Hagler beating up on Hearns
Sampras throwing up on the court at the 96' US Open
Vinateri's kick to beat the Rams in the SB
Magic's hook shot to beat the Celts in the NBA finals

This video was posted in October of 2005, so it doesn't have VY. And I'm guessing it was put together before last years Masters happened, otherwise Tiger's chip should've been in there. And yeah, I choked up in some parts too.
Sampras throwing up on the court at the 96' US Open
That was that match that they showed him crying at. They didn't actually show him puking, but that clip that had of him on there was from that match against Corretja in '96. God I love Sampras.
That said, I was on the verge of tears through that whole thing... the Miracle on Ice set it up and the Sampras clip slammed it home. I'm a baby when it comes to these things.

I'm pretty sure the Sampras clip they showed was the 95' Quarters against Courier at Australian Open when his coach was dying.

You could be right. He cried at both, I know that.

i thought this was done in 1999.... i could be wrong though. the thought was the last 100 years. so the stuff after 99' wouldn't be included
Yeah it aired on sportscenter on 12/31/99 and 1/1/00. Hence "images of the century".
I remember seeing when it first aired, and thought it was amazing, so i made sure to tape it the next time sportscenter was on.
It has been posted on here before, but something like this should be posted as many times as possible

I'd put Vinateri's kick in the snow game up first. That one was unreal.
Clint Malarchuk's severed jugular with the Sabres also comes to mind, although not in a good way.
