In 1989, the Detroit Piston's traded Adrian Dantley to Dallas for Mark Aguirre. It was a shocking trade that upset Pistons' fans. (sound familiar?) But it worked out for Detroit who went on to win 30 out of 34 to end the regular season and eventually win the NBA title.

In 2018, Denver's Nikola Jokic notched the quickest triple-double in NBA history.

In 1994, the University of Kentucky erased a 31-point deficit in the second half to beat LSU in Baton Rouge. It's the largest second half deficit ever overcome to win.

In 1976, David Pearson outraced Richard Petty ... well, sort of ... to win the Daytona 500. After the two crashed each other on the final lap, Pearson puttered across the finish line at 20 mph.

In 1978, Leon Spinks won a split decision over Muhammad Ali to shock the champ and claim the title for himself.

And in 2004, Arizona State’s baseball team lost 6-0 to Oklahoma, ending a streak of 506 games of scoring at least one run. They had not been shutout in a game in nearly a decade.
