Live - LeBron James vs the Blazers.
I was shocked that a little shite named Kellen Moore tore apart our "vaunted" secondary in Autzen in his second collegiate game as a frosh. He threw for 350 yards and our secondary was calling themselves the "D-Boyz." Patrick Chung (Patriots), TJ Ward (Browns), Walter Thurmond (Seahawks), Jarius Byrd (Bills) got shredded for 350 yards. It wasn't his athleticism though.

Kerry Wood- 1st time I watched him pitch he had 20Ks and allowed 1 hit
Best pitching performance in the history of baseball. That 1 hit should have been scored an error too.
Mine was Adrian Peterson in high school. He was a man among among toddlers.

Shawn Merriman against the Titans in 2007. I had never seen a linebacker completely take over a game that, well, until the Titans started taking cheap shots at his knees forcing him to miss the rest of the game.

I watched Willie Gault sprint from one end of Tiger Stadium to the other with a kickoff. Never saw anything so fast up close that wasn't an automobile.

John Daly
No one hit the ball as long as that fat bastard. In his prime.
Eta his wiki is a decent read

In person? Saw Erik Dickerson at Cowboys camp when he played for the Raiders. This was a cool visit. It was the camp for what was going to be the Cowboys first Super Bowl. Bunch of big guys running into each other. Dickerson you could tell was a WORLD CLASS athlete. He ran different.
ETA... He was washed up by then and still looked awesome.

Travis Minor in high school. Opening kickoff he made everyone look like they were running underwater.
Agree with this. People don't know it because of the success Dunn had in the NFL, but Minor was 10x the back Dunn was at CHS. It was scary to watch that kid play.

Joe Delaney, in HS
Michael Cutright, in HS
For another reason, Hank Aaron. Really looked like he didn't want to be out there. Didn't hustle, looked like he didn't want to be on the field.

i saw ryan perrilloux at a 7 on 7 camp the summer before his senior year. watching him just warm up, you could tell he threw the ball differently, everything about him was just different
the show he put on that day was of course ridiculous

Todd Kinchen at LSU football camp. Shocking.

I was a freshman in High School and played Breaux Bridge in a regular season game......and they had Dominick Davis. Needless to say, they beat us like 35 to 0 and he scored like every single TD for them. He was unreal!

Michael Phelps.
First time I saw him was while he was swimming the 400IM at the Worlds before Athens. To be on the world stage and pull away from a field like that was remarkable.

In high school, I saw Jonathan Dwyer. He scored 6 TDs on our high school in that game, and all were 50+ yard TD runs.
I saw him at the track meet and the dude was a monster.

Royce Gracie
I had never heard of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu when UFC I started. I laughed when the skinny guy in pajamas came out. I stopped laughing very quickly when 280 lb tough guys were trying to get away from him. He changed the world's perception of fighting overnight.

Trying to tackle Dion Lewis in high school as an average white cornerback was like trying to tackle a ghost. I have never seen a human being change direction so fast. Good god he is quick.

Tyler Hansbrough
Was playing against local powerhouse Kickapoo. Scored 35 pts without missing a shot including 3s and free throws with Roy Williams in the front row.
