2016 was one of the most exciting and amazing years in Sports history. Warriors break the NBA most wins record, which seemed unbreakable, but then lose the Finals from being up 3-1 to guess who? Cleveland, who wins their first pro sports city title in over 60 years. Peyton Manning retires with a super bowl win, the Cubs win their first world series in 108 years, not to mention coming back from being down 3-1 as well to Cleveland. Kobe scores 60 in his last game. What a year for sports.

One of the best games of all time. Incredible shots, last five seconds were perfect.

NCAA > NBA if you're talking about atmosphere

I still can't believe the Seahawks threw the ball at the one yard line

[Andrew-bddc]

Greatest 5 seconds in basketball history!

The best championship game I've seen

[frzzlfry]

Just... wow. This is maybe the most entertaining game--sports game, not simply basketball game--that I've ever seen. Thank you, Villanova and UNC.

Not a Tar Heels or Villanova fan, but this will go down as one of the best College Basketball National Championship games of all time.

Can't deny this might just be the greatest game in NCAA history.

The biggest rollercoaster game ever! From the biggest highs to the lowest lows! I am a Tar Heel fan and even though we lost that game showed two championship teams play there hearts out! One of the greatest of all time!

Villanova needs to make a statue for Jenkins. That shot was incredible. Easily the greatest basketball game of my life so far.

The Villanova boys are back together, imagine if these guys win an NBA chip together, would be a crazy story

[alexlerikos]

Villanova had 2 buzzer beaters this game lol..clutch

[ChiTownWarrior]

Insane. This college basketball season almost had to end like this.

[lionelraoul]

Wow. Both teams should be so incredibly proud of their performance. Everyone on that court is a winner even though there's only one champion.

I don't even like Basketball and this was the best sporting event in my lifetime!

There maybe be nothing I am more grateful for than being a villanova fan during this tournament.

First the Panthers, now UNC. #CarolinaCurse

[Mattblaze]

That entire tournament was fantastic. Such great basketball. I already cant wait for next years Madness!

I hate when people called this an upset. Nova was a legit team all year long and hung with (and beat) top squads all year long.
