Sport / First Game / Any Game
Baseball Rod Carew or Reggie Jackson / Rickey Henderson Football Walter Payton / Dan Marino, Drew Brees, or Payton Basketball Pete Maravich / Maravich or Julius Erving Hockey Ron Francis / Mario Lemieux of Dominick Hasek I saw games as a kid that I just don't remember, so I didn't count those. I saw Tony Dorsett at Pittsburgh when he came to play Tulane. I saw a bunch of Saints games from 1969-1973, but I honestly don't remember who we saw and who played. I saw the New Orleans Jazz numerous times. I remember Bob Love was amazing, and I remember being excited to see Dr. J. I don't remember too much of the rest. I've seen hundreds of NHL games, mostly in Carolina. Hard to say the best.

Just to mention basketball I think Kareem is still probably the best I've seen but the two that made the biggest impression, because they just seemed to be taking the game to a new level , were Magic as a sophomore in college and David Thompson as a freshman. I saw Johnson on what probably was an off-night but the sight of a 6 foot 9 kid playing point guard as skillfully as he did was a revelation, and Thompson not only was leaping out of the building but hitting jump shots from everywhere.
Seeing Erving live was really something too, his ability to defy gravity and make acrobatic moves had more of an impact in person than on TV.
