The Thread Of Athletes Who Went On Linsanity Runs Is A Great Trip Down Memory Lane

It usually centers around nostalgic sports moments/players and today thanks to Dylan Powell, we got a banger.

I don't think it's possible to have another moment like this again. He took over the world for a 2 week span and didn't disappoint. He dropped 38 on ESPN against Kobe! In MSG! After Kobe pretty much said he doesn't know who he is! The buzzer-beater against Toronto? Didn't feel like real life.
We'll never forget 2023 Josh Dobbs.

Peyton Hillis won my 2010 fantasy league for me. Then was on the Madden cover. He was my hero for a year there. Thinking back on it, Peyton Hillis being on a Madden cover is insane. Possibly the most out-of-place video game cover athlete ever. I could spot that facemask anywhere.
Jamie Vardy is HAVING A PARTY! His story is one of the greatest in sports history. He was almost out of soccer forever and then a few years later he won the Premier League with LEICESTER CITY. Straight out of a movie.
