Alright so listen, everyone kept buzzing about Mike Coryell clips, especially after that insane buzzer-beater last Tuesday. Fans in the comments were like, “Bro, where do I even start?” Felt like someone had to sort through the noise.
Down The Rabbit Hole
Dove straight in late Friday night. Honestly, figuring out what “top” even meant drove me nuts. Stats? Pure highlights? Game-changing plays? Couldn’t decide. Just started watching, like, everything. YouTube, old forums, fan tributes… hours disappeared. My eyes felt like sandpaper.
The Sorting Mess
Saw so many good moments it was overwhelming. Wrote ’em all down on sticky notes – my desk looked like a rainbow exploded. Had to cut it down. My own dumb rules:
- No fluff – pure impact only.
- Gotta show different sides of his game, not just scoring.
- Must have that electric crowd/gut-punch feeling, ya know?
Argued with myself for an hour over the final cut. Seriously, back and forth. “Is this defensive play really better than that clutch shot?” Almost chucked my coffee mug.
Getting It Done
Slept on it. Saturday morning, clear head, fresh coffee. Re-watched the shortlist contenders side-by-side. That’s when it clicked. Had to trust my gut, not just the numbers. Finally nailed down the five that felt right.
- The Varsity Surprise: That time he exploded as a freshman.
- Lockdown D vs State Champs: Just suffocated their star.
- The Comeback Sequence: Single-handedly turned the tide.
- The Dagger Three: Silenced the away crowd dead.
- That Buzzer Beater: The one everyone’s screaming about. Goosebumps. Every. Time.
Double-checked the footage links (making sure they actually worked!) and bam, compiled the list. Posted it Sunday AM. Already seeing fans argue over the order in the comments – mission accomplished, I guess!
