Top Five Most Exciting Games I've Ever Watched/Attended

This game is one for the ages, no matter what age you are. It was hard for me to watch the first half.

Coming into the three-game stretch in L.A. before coming back to Boston (we were already up 2-0), I was hoping to win at least one of these games. Well, we did that and in a dramatic fashion.

Lamar Odom's slam in the first half set the tone. The Lakers were hot from everywhere. The crowd was roaring. You could see fire in the eyes of every Laker.

Doc told the Cs in the locker room that if they wanted to make this game close, they needed to take it two points at a time. Powered by James Posey and Eddie House, Boston came out strong.

Rivers saw that they were taking his advice.

He said many times in one timeout, "Get it 10, get it to 10!"

It came down to the wire.

Ray Allen blew by Sasha Vujacic to put in the game-winning layup.

I came close to crying—because 1) I had a migraine; and 2) with joy.

I was watching this game closely with my mom. My dad and grandfather were cheering from the Indians' stadium balcony.

We were waiting patiently for the Red Sox-Angels game, which was coming up next. When the game went into extra-innings, we began to get a little fidgety. But we loved seeing a hated Yankee (Joba Chamberlain) being driven to distraction by midges.

A classic it was.

Words cannot describe this game. As a Pats fan, it was hard for me to swallow some not-so-nice words during and after the key play made by Eli Manning and Plaxico Burress. Fortunately I did, as I would've gotten a good lecture from my mom about how to "control my emotions." Oh, God. Moving on...

With the Pats leading in the final minutes, Michael Strahan told his teammates that they needed ONE touchdown to complete what would be and now is one of the greatest upsets in all of sports history.

Well they did, as quarterback and eventual Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning connected with Burress for a touchdown.

I know some of you will be surprised, but to be at this game was truly all I could ask for in 2008. A good view helped, too.

P.J. Brown made the play of the game, hitting an extremely clutch jump shot to clinch the game for the Cs with little time left to go.

The battle between Paul Pierce and LeBron James was just one of many we can expect to see in the future. It was remarkable.

Pierce finished with fantastic numbers: 41 points, five assists, four rebounds. James had 45 points, six assists, five rebounds.

Putting beside the score (New York 4, Boston 3), this game featured one of the biggest and nastiest fights in baseball history.

It started with Pedro Martinez throwing at Yankees batter Karim Garcia. Martinez then had some words for Garcia, causing the situation to spiral out of control.

In possibly one of the most intense moments of the brawl, Martinez (32 years old) threw down Yankee coach Don Zimmer (72).

As a third-grader, I wasn't too happy to see a 72-year-old man thrown to the ground and bloodied. Tsk, tsk Pedro. Even YOU should know better.

1. Steelers-Cardinals, Super Bowl XLIII.

2. Red Sox hit record four straight home runs in regular season game (brother was also in attendance).

3. Syracuse-UConn, six overtimes, most recent Big East Tournament.

4. Spurs-Suns, 2007-08 first round, Game One. Spurs win in two OTs with game winner from Manu Ginobili.

Close, but not quite...

1. Celtics-Bulls, Game Two, Ray Allen hits game-winning three-pointer.
