In light of the Warriors 4-1 win over the Cavs avenging both Durant in 2012 and Warriors in 2016, what are other big revenge moments in sports?
My best example is Chad Pennington beating the Jets in the regular season finale in 2008 after they cut him and signed Brett Favre, thus winning the AFC East in the Meadowlands when he was left for dead by the Jets in the offseason. Or the same day, the Raiders beating the Bucs and ending Jon Gruden's career as a Head Coach or even Gruden beating the Raiders in SB 37.
Other great examples?

In 2002 the mets faced Roger Clemens for the first time since he beaned Piazza and threw the bat at him in the World Series. Shawn Estes was on the mound and threw at Clemens. MIssed completely and looked like a doofus. Anyway Estes took him deep later in the game to redeem himself.

The Spurs dismantling the Heat in the 2014 NBA Finals after losing to them the year before. Mavs beating the Heat too when some thought they were jobbed out when Dwayne Wade got all the calls that one year. (IDK I wasn't watching) Also the schadenfreude of LeBron's Super team losing their first year was fun too. |

2006-07 AFC Championship. Peyton finally beats Brady and in the best way possible.
1991 NBA Eastern Conference Finals: Jordan and Co. turn the Bad Boys into the bitches they were with a convincing sweep after falling to them for years previously. Exemplified by the Pistons running off with their tails between their legs in the deciding game.
Lighter example, but Jose Bautista taking a Tyson shot to the chin the season after his theatrics vs. Texas in the ALDS.

In the 08 Stanley Cup Final, Detroit beat a Pittsburgh team with a trade deadline acquired Marian Hossa.
Hossa bolts in Free Agency to Detroit.
In 09 the Penguins beat Marian Hossa and the Red Wings in a rematch.
Hossa now had lost in back to back finals and had to shake the hands of the team he didn't think was good enough. That had to suck for him.

This is a stretch. The Tennessee Turncoats, I mean Titans, beating the Bills with the Music City Miracle.
I just wish that would've happened when they were in Houston.

MIssed completely and looked like a doofus. Anyway Estes took him deep later in the game to redeem himself. There's also the rumor that Piazza was tipping Clemens' pitches in the 2004 All-Star Game when the American League just destroyed Clemens for 6 runs in the first inning in front of his hometown crowd. |
