People at Scorum are aware of how important the history of sport is and my first publication of this series, The Best Sports Images of All Times, was well received so it continued with the 2nd part of the series with these fantastic captures that enhance the sport.
Reggie Bush
USC vs. UCLA, Dec. 3, 2005 | USC running back Reggie Bush jump over UCLA defender Marcus Cassel and into the end zone for a touchdown. Bush's spectacular season earned him the 2005 Heisman Trophy, but the award was later stripped because Bush had received illegal benefits during his time with the Trojans.
Usain Bolt
Beijing Olympics, Aug. 20, 2008 | Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt reacts after breaking the world record in the men's 200-meter final with his time of 19.30 seconds. He had broken the 100-meter world record earlier in the games, too.
Julius Erving
January 1977 | Philadelphia 76ers forward Julius Erving gets full extension on a one-handed dunk against the Denver Nuggets.
Tommie Smith and John Carlos
Summer Olympics, Oct. 16, 1968 | American sprinters Tommie Smith (center) and John Carlos (right) raise their black-gloved fists on the Olympic medal podium in Mexico City to signify Black Power. Smith, the gold medalist in the 200-meter race, and Carlos, the bronze medalist, were kicked out of the Games for their overtly political statement.
Gordon Hayward
Duke vs. Butler, NCAA Men's Basketball Championship game, 2010 | Trailing 61-59 in the final seconds of the championship game, Butler star Gordon Hayward had a chance to win it all with his half-court heave. The shot hit the backboard and clanged off the rim, giving Duke its fourth title.
