Now
that
2024
is
here,
let’s
take
a
look
back
at
some
of
the
top
sports
moments
we
were
blessed
to
witness
in
2023.
Last
year,
no
matter
what
team
you
cheered
for
you
had
moments
of
joy
and
moments
of
anger
and
with
sports
betting
exploding
across
the
nation,
sporting
events
have
a
bigger
emotional
attachment
than
ever.
Let’s
take
a
look
back
and
revisit
some
of
the
biggest
sports
moments
of
the
year.
LeBron
James
Becomes
The
NBA
All-Time
Scoring
Leader
LeBron
James
is
just
the
sixth
NBA
player
to
ever
play
21
seasons
according
to
Olympics.com.
Last
year
we
witnessed
LeBron
add
another
milestone
to
his
legacy
bt
taking
the
all-time
scoring
record
from
Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar.
LeBron
is
almost
at
40,000
points
scored
with
plans
to
keep
playing
until
both
of
his
sons
enter
the
league.
University
Of
Alabama
QB
Jalen
Milroe’s
“4th
&
A
Mile”
Alabama
has
a
standard
of
excellence
and
in
2023
it
seemed
it
wasn’t
going
to
be
possible
to
uphold.
After
being
defeated
by
Texas,
their
playoff
hopes
seemed
slim
but
the
team
rose
to
the
challenge
and
got
better
week
after
week.
If
you
follow
college
football
you
know
the
Iron
Bowl
game
is
a
rivalry
where
season
standings
never
matter
and
both
teams
are
out
for
blood.
This
year
Auburn
was
seconds
from
ending
Alabama’s
playoff
dreams,
but
Jalen
Miilroe
delivered
a
miracle
from
the
31-yard
line.
Deion
Sanders
Opens
The
Coach
Prime
Era
Of
Colorado
Football
With
A
Bang
Deion
Sanders’
move
to
Colorado
didn’t
come
without
a
backlash
but
winning
always
silences
the
hate.
In
his
first
game
as
head
coach
at
the
school,
Coach
Prime
proved
he
was
the
man
for
the
job.
In
their
previous
season,
Colorado
only
won
a
single
game
so
the
bar
was
on
the
floor.
In
the
first
game
against
last
season’s
championship
runner-up
TCU,
Prime
put
a
W
on
the
board.
LSU
Vs.
Iowa
Women’s
National
Championship
Games
Captivates
The
Nation
Angel
Reese
and
LSU’s
women’s
basketball
defeated
Iowa
led
by
star
athlete
Caitlin
Clark.
And
while
the
win
was
celebrated,
backlash
quickly
erupted
after
Reese
taunted
Clark
with
the
“you
can’t
see
me”
hand
gesture
that
Clark
used
throughout
the
season.
At
times
it
felt
the
media
agenda
was
in
favor
of
Clark
and
at
one
point
even
First
Lady
Jill
Biden
suggested
that
Clark
and
Iowa
visit
the
White
House
despite
losing
the
championship
game.
After
Angel
Reese
was
dragged
for
her
“classless”
conduct,
Caitlin
Clark
spoke
out
and
came
to
her
fellow
athlete’s
defense.
Florida
State
Misses
The
College
Football
Playoffs
Despite
Having
An
Undefeated
Season
Making
it
to
the
college
football
championships
is
a
tremendous
feat
and
for
undefeated,
conference
winning
Florida
State,
it
seemed
as
though
they’d
be
a
shoo-in.
FSU
checked
all
the
boxes
but
was
left
out
of
the
college
football
championship
due
to
their
QB
Jordan
Travis’
ankle
injury.
The
selection
committee
claimed
the
availability
of
key
players
influenced
their
decision
and
it
probably
didn’t
help
that
their
backup
QB
also
sustained
an
injury.
Who
wants
to
see
any
team
with
their
third-string
QB
fighting
for
a
championship?
All
of
Florida
is
the
only
correct
answer.
Brittney
Griner
Returns
To
The
WNBA
Following
Brittney
Griner’s
release
after
10
months
in
a
Russian
jail,
Griner
re-signed
with
the
Phoenix
Mercury
and
returned
to
what
she
loves
most.
NBA
Adds
The
In-Season
Tournament
Regardless
of
how
you
feel
about
NBA
Commissioner
Adam
Silver,
you
have
to
give
him
props
for
the
in-season
tournament.
With
most
basketball
fans
not
paying
attention
until
Christmas
Day
he
found
a
way
to
get
everyone
bought-in
early.
Players
were
giving
us
playoff
energy
in
hopes
of
securing
an
extra
$500k
payday
and
we
couldn’t
have
been
more
thrilled
to
watch.
In
the
end
the
Lakers
won
it
all
but
every
team
proved
the
tournament
meant
something
and
was
a
great
idea.
