Greatest Sports Play I've Ever Seen

This is possibly the greatest play I've ever seen in professional sports anywhere in the world. First of all, just the ability to jump up on a wall that size (both height and width - it's not exactly a wide platform) is amazing. He did grab a rail to help pull himself up, but that's just as impressive if you ask me.

Then there's the fact that he had his timing down so precise that he made it up there at exactly the right moment to catch the ball. I've never seen anything like it.

There have been some dunks from NBA players that come close - like Vince Carter's famous slam dunk contest...
There have been miraculous hail mary passes - See: Doug Flutie...
I remember Michael Vick's freshman year at Va Tech when he first gained recognition on a national level for doing a running jump-flip over a defender into the end zone...
And similarly, there have been linebackers jump completely over the offensive line at the exact moment of the snap to sack the quarterback...
There have been similar wall climbs in MLB - go watch a highlight reel of Ken Griffey Jr. There are plenty from him, including one where he actually ran up the side of the wall and made the catch that's usually the first thing I think of when I hear the name Griffey Jr...

But even that doesn't compare to this. You may disagree... but you're wrong!

This is officially the Shan Lee Cook blog's winner in the category of Most Amazing Play In Sports History.*
