The Colts went on to win Super Bowl XLI over the Chicago Bears two weeks later In 2003, a kid from St Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio went into the NBA Draft and was selected first overall by the home-team Cleveland Cavaliers, one of the most dreadful franchises in the sport That young man is none other than LeBron James. James has taken the NBA by storm over the last six years and amazed fans of all shapes and sizes with his veteran presence and unselfish style of play, and he is only 24 years old. "King James" won NBA Rookie of the Year honors in 2003-2004, as he averaged 20.9 points per game that year. 
Since that time, James has made the Cavs into a perennial NBA title contender. In 2006-2007, he took the Cavs all the way to the Finals, only to lose to the Spurs in five games. In the Eastern Conference Finals, he scored 48 points against the Detroit Pistons in Game Five, including the team's final 25 points in the second overtime of that game. The Cavs have struggled to get back to the finals in the last two years, and with James entering free agency, the Cavs need to prove that Cleveland is indeed James' true home.. The New England Patriots were indeed the NFL's best team during the 2000s. Their three Super Bowl titles made living legends out of Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, Adam Vinatieri, and numerous others. They became the model franchise in the NFL, preaching perfection and persistence; anything but victory was not an option for the Patriots during their decade-long run of success.

Their first title was won on a terrific drive by second-year quarterback Tom Brady, who would not have been the Patriots' starting QB in 2001, were it not for a vicious early-season hit on Drew Bledsoe by Jets linebacker Mo Lewis. Brady put Adam Vinateri in position to kick the game-winner over the Rams.Two years later, same story: Brady drove the Patriots into field goal range, and Vinatieri won it with a field goal to beat the Panthers 32-29 The next year, 2004, the Patriots were a juggernaut. They went 14-2 in the regular season en route to dismantling the Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 to win their third Super Bowl in four years. The Patriots moved to 18-0, before falling to the Giants in the Super Bowl. The 2007-2008 Patriots had one of the best offenses in football history.
The combo of Brady, Randy Moss and Wes Welker ripped apart opposing defenses from start to finish, as the Pats set the record for points scored in a season with 589 "They have waited 86 years to hear it. The Boston Red Sox are World Champions!" said Fox Sports play-by-play man Joe Buck after the Red Sox beat the St Louis Cardinals in Game Four of the 2004 World Series. The Red Sox were down three games to none against the Yankees in the ALCS First, Dave Roberts' legs beat Mariano Rivera in Game Four. Then, it was Curt Schilling and his bloody sock that helped pitch the Red Sox past the Yankees in Game Six to tie the series.Schilling's sock was soaked with blood as he pitched seven incredible innings, allowing only one run to the Yankees. Then Johnny Damon, who looked more like a runaway hippie with long hair and a scraggly beard, beat his future team with a grand slam in the second and a two-run shot in the fourth Red Sox Nation was never happier The Red Sox had a nice run from 2004 to 2007. In 2007 the Sox won it all again, when they beat the Colorado Rockies in five games Sept 21, 2001 Ten days after the horrific acts of Sept.
