1) one handed catches in football
2) hurdling defenders in football
3) monster dunks in basketball

Anything else?

It's funny you mentioned number 1. Guys are constantly trying to imitate OBJ on routine catches where they can use two hands.

It seems like a lot of statistical milestones are no longer a big deal anymore. A 50 HR season used to be a huge deal. When Cecil Fielder hit his 50th HR in Yankee Stadium, he got a standing ovation and a curtain call from Yankees fans. That would be unheard of today. Same thing with a player reaching 500 career homeruns. People used to make a big fuss when a player reached 1,000 rushing yards for the season. Now, nobody even blinks an eye when a player rushes for 1,000 yards.

100 receptions in a season. I remember that people freaked out when Art Monk did it. Antonio Brown might do it by Thanksgiving now.

No hitters are still a big deal, but not nearly as big of a deal as they used to be.

Bowl games have lost their luster. All anyone cares about anymore are the playoff games.

Sports highlights that are basically 15 slam dunks with zero continuity and in the end you're not exactly sure who won the game.
