People Are Sharing Their Favorite Sports Photos Of The Decade And It’s Making Me Emotional

There is less than one month left in the decade and I am just eight books shy of fulfilling my 2010 New Year’s resolution to read 10 books that year. Funny how time flies but self-worth never progresses.

Sports fans have endured a lot over the past decade–Manti Te’o’s fake girlfriend hoax, NFL owners copping handjobs from nondescript spas, Vontae Davis retiring at halftime, me getting banned from my intramural men’s league game for threatening the referee (all in good fun!).

The list goes on and it’s a fruitless endeavor to try to capture the absurdity of this past decade in sports with just one headline or image, but a collection of visuals helps to drum up nostalgia of some of the greatest (Wade/LeBron alley oop Renaissance photo) and most outrageous (THERE’S A DILDO ON THE FIELD!) photos in the past 10 years.

Here are the ones I found most worthy.

“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”

Now cue the music.
