P.S.

얼마전 CNNSI에서 선정한 백넘버별 베스트 플레이어의 포토 갤러리를 접한 이후부터 CNNSI를 자주 들락거리고 있습니다. 거의 매일 가는 편이죠.

오늘도 접속해봤더니 또 재미있는 랭킹을 포토로 서비스하고 있더군요. '우리가 봤던 최고의 경기들'이라고 해석하면 어울릴까요? 여러가지 스포츠에서 총 23경기를 최고의 경기로 선정했더군요. 죽 보면서 반가운 얼굴들이 많아 즐거웠지만 동시에 모르는 경기와 선수들도 절반 가까이 되더군요. 이번 선정 역시 미국 스포츠 중심이라는 비난에서는 벗어나기 힘들어보입니다. - 뭐 사실 CNNSI 입장에선 자국 스포츠인데 틀린 선정이라고 볼 수도 없죠 -

제가 특히나 즐겁게 본 부분들은 사진까지 같이 올려뒀습니다. 시카고 불스 시절의 마이클 조던과 샌프란시스코 포티나이너스 시절의 조 몬태나. 그리고 1988년 서울 올림픽의 100m 결승경기 등등... 새록새록 기억이 떠오르는 경기들이 꽤 있군요^^
