Let's face it: when the technology of high definition picture quality hit TV screens across the world, the fields of movies and sports got the biggest bumps. The revolution is now played out on a nightly basis across the sporting world, but what are the best moments you can see in any sport? Here are the top five events of every year on satellite TV.
5. The Stanley Cup Finals. There is no game as physical as hockey and maybe nothing as exciting as the adrenaline-pumping opening minutes of a Stanley Cup Final Game 7. Slashing players with wild sticks and powerful vengeance ply their trade on ice, making for a chilly and still not entirely embraced game from the north. If you haven't seen a Stanley Cup Finals game, you're missing one of the most thrilling events of the year.
4. The NBA Finals. Every year there's a new drama in the NBA, "where amazing happens." In 2009, it was the ongoing quest of Lebron James and the showdown with Kobe Bryant that never happened. While this year's match-up was somewhat of a letdown — Kobe and the Lakers rolled — the finals remain the place where great stories are told on a yearly basis.
3. Heavyweight Championship Boxing. The title fight has always been the Big Show of professional sports. Were Mike Tyson still at the top of his game, this entry would have topped the list. Nonetheless, when the title is on the line, Pay-Per-View is the place on satellite TV to find it. If you're looking for a little Tyson anyway, see him in The Hangover.
2. The World Series. Baseball's Fall Classic used to be the showdown between American League Champs who played the National League Champs a few days after the season ended. These days, with a wild card round plus LCS to content with, teams who make it deep into October have already been tested innumerable times. Call it a seven-month season when it's all said and done. The winner is usually operating on mere guts and pride by the time the final outs are recorded. Think of the ending in 2001, when Luis Gonzalez finally got to Mariano Rivera to lead the Diamondbacks to victory, a walk-off World Series winner. Had the last few series matched that intensity, this would be #1 on the list.
1. The Superbowl. The undisputed main event in American sports, the Superbowl is an eye-popping title fight between the toughest and slickest football teams in the world. No superlatives can relate the thrills that take place yearly on this stage. Just thinking of the past two final games, football is on a roll with great Superbowls, a trend that hopefully won't stop any time soon.
