The Year of the Comeback (2016 In Sports)

In today's video we talk about the best year in sports history. Take your pick between the Cleveland Cavaliers epic 3-1 comeback in the Finals or the Chicago Cubs equally epic 3-1 comeback in the World Series and lest we forget the New England Patriots 25 point comeback in the Super Bowl. Yes today we are talking about 2016 in sports, y'know like the title says.

On top of that (while nowhere near as impressive as the other three) the Pittsburgh penguins also had a comeback in the eastern conference finals that year while being down 3-2 in the series against the lightning before winning the Stanley cup meaning that all 4 major sports leagues had their Champion complete a comeback of some type during their run.

I don’t watch golf

[@dirty.dan37]

3-2 isn’t much of a comeback in hockey, but they did over come and absolutely atrocious start to the season

[@Maksim_Dojack82]

Weren’t they down 3-1 in that series

[@easingthroughspace194]

That was the first year I watched sports like seriously and really payed attention. It’s still my justification for paying the MLB, NBA, and NFL for streaming privileges.

[@bruh_moments553]

2016 was nuts and is the reason I don't trust any sports team in Atlanta

[@zanepramudji4470]

Not to mention Leicester City's incredible Premier League Championship. Chris Buescher's win at Pocono 2016 was the longest shot to ever win a NASCAR race in Las Vegas sports book history at 1,000 to 1. Matt Ryan's MVP campaign had the lowest odds on record (couldn't find anything before 2008). At the beginning of the season, he was tied with Blake Bortles, Brock Osweiler, and Tyrod Taylor at 66 to 1 odds. +500,000 odds that Leicester City would win it all +100,000 odds that Chris Buescher would win the Pocono NASCAR race +6,600 odds that Matt Ryan would win the NFL MVP +1,100 odds that the Patriots would come back from a 28-3 deficit +1,100 odds that the Cavaliers would come back from a 3-1 deficit +800 odds that the Cubs would come back from a 3-1 deficit If you had bet $100 payouts on each of these, you would have made...................give me a sec to do the math..........$609,600. That's a 101,500x ROI (return on investment). And that's not a parlay, those are just individual bets. If you HAD done a parlay at the same price of $600, you would have made approximately 261 trillion dollars. Yes, that's right. $261 TRILLION. 5001 x 1001 x 67 x 12 x 12 x 9 = 431,681,078,832 (as the multiplier) 431,681,078,832 x $600 bet = $260,808,647,299,200 Obviously, no one in their right mind would ever bet on that, no bookmaker would ever take that bet, and those odds were all from different times in 2016. But still, those odds are fucking wild, and you'd be hard pressed to find any other year where you could manufacture a billion dollar bet, let alone a 260 trillion dollar bet from six events within it's calendar year.

no freakin way, what was going on in 2016

[@Truman5555]

This is also not to mention the .........Political arena.......

[@AllMenMustServe]

add to that Portugal winning Euro 2016, the very first time in their history. Odds were +1000 before the tournament started. Hell, the odds might have gone even higher during it because they drew their first 2 games of the group stage and were on the verge of being eliminated.

[@arnoldmejia56]

Curry truly did press every single button on his remote when he saw K Love guarding up lmao, great video. Sports is always fun to look back on, keep it up man

[@charliep123]

I love how effortlessly you switch between sports

[@thisguy8106]

Okay. When tf is this Channel going to blowup??? You make some of the best content on KZbin. Keep going man. Keep going..

[@adandemobilegamer]

as a Raptors fan remembering that 2016 series vs the Cavs was awesome but sadness at the same time because of what was about to come the next 2 seasons when Toronto became Lebronto lol

[@PhilipCarroll64]

The 2016 World Series game 7 was an absolute and instant classic

[@danr154]

Your transitions eere pretty clever dude! I enjoyed this video quite a bit.

[@ghostofyou9721]

This is the first year I watched sports religiously and paid attention mostly because the Cubs made the World Series. I even remember my mom wanting to celebrate the breaking of the curse with chicago style hot dogs

[@THERobertL2000]

Did she?

[@jysprk7395]

This was seriously the best Super Bowl I have ever seen. Gives me chills thinking about it

[@slayermcrx7519]

I genuinely didn't care who won the 2016 WS. Both teams were amazing and I was happy for either team no matter who won. Although I mightve had some personal bias for the Indians but ya know cubbies for the W

[@EDF1919]

You forgot one part, in the western conference finals that year, the Oklahoma City Thunder blew a 3-1 lead to the Warriors.

[@justmaxproductions]

it was considered, but ultimately cut for time

[@donelec5955]

Damn this video was great 👏🏼👏🏼

[@ryan102772]

can't forget Leicester winning the premier league after being a relegation contender

[@JawaPenguin16]

Dude thank you so much for this video

[@justmaxproductions]

your welcome

[@HayabusaRyu]

I was so bummed being a Warrior fan that I didn't realize that the year was really about the comeback until recently. Kyrie's final shot kills me still 3 titles later

[@MajinTar]

Really you guys got luck in the 1st match up K Love and Kyrie were hurt or we would of went 2-2 in the Finals

[@MajinTar]

I'm from Cleveland and what a fucking year too bad The Indians/Guardians couldn't finish the job

[@truejacksonveep]

5:45 I mean, the Patriots never had a close Super Bowl loss when Belicheck and Brady were manning the ship. But losing to the '85 Bears 46-10 and 35-21 in Favre's only Super Bowl win definitely weren't.

[@kevinpowers3907]

"Draymond Green was surprisingly good" Uh dawg.....Green was an all-around great player in the first half of his career. He is literally a HOFer. He was a solid offensive player until like 2018ish.

[@justmaxproductions]

he scored 12 more points than he averaged in 2016

[@thecluckingassassin]

Chapman doing Chapman things

[@dynomitejones]

never heard the clip where matt ryan says "what the fuck guys". that play was a tone shift in momentum

[@justmaxproductions]

he knew they weren't winning at that moment

[@THERobertL2000]

13:04 No one will remember this catch.

[@justmaxproductions]

which sucks because it was an awesome catch

[@OGDeepStroke]

Chapman gonna give it up.

[@Marylandbrony]

The only thing wrong is that Superbowl 51 took place in February of 2017 as the NFL at the time had most of their regular games played in previous year, expect for Week 17 games around new years and the playoffs in the following year with the Superbowl in the following year. Although now their is a week 18 to add an additional game and pushing everything back like a week on the calendar.

[@justmaxproductions]

somehow you are the first person to point this out

[@MajinTar]

That Rain delay killed our momentum the game should of never been stopped BS from the MLB

[@justmaxproductions]

get a roof nerds

[@jeremyhughes6020]

0:25 is Bill Russel making out with someone??

[@justmaxproductions]

that's Tim Duncan

[@braydenshifflett9806]

The best qb in Atlanta history? Vick

[@chuchulokz]

didnt mention Trump the Biggest upset of the Decade 😹😹😹😹

[@kurtwagner350]

Also that year Trump made the biggest comeback in political history to pull off the upset against Hillary who blew a 3-1 lead

yep. im convinced that was the deal made with the devil to allow the Cubs to win. It was eother hell freeze over and demons invade the mortal realm, or piece of shit Trump

[@tleoipl37]

Best comeback of all? Trump upsetting the election and the biggest underdog win in us history.
