As a sportswriter for 40 years, I was privileged to personally watch Ali, Foreman, Tyson, Howe, Orr, Gretzky and Pele work their magic multiple times. But coming from the Great White North I never had a basketball beat, so it would've been cool to see Dr. J and Pistol Pete up close and personal. Also would've loved to have been there to witness Evel Knievel's attempted jump over the fountain at Caesars Palace and Catfish Hunter's perfect game in Oakland.
