I don't see the big deal. It's not like you asked for Wilt's 20,000.

There's a guy out here who has season tickets to the Lakers. Gave up his tix to a friend the night Kobe scored 81. Thing is, he's originally from eastern PA. He also had tickets to see the game where Wilt scored 100, but was waylaid because of a car accident and missed it.

This one without pause. Certain pictures might mean more to specific fans or specific sports... but overall umbrella... it isn't even close.

in any case, racing or rugby pictures... neither are iconic across sports. the Ali picture is a "niche" sport, that today not many people are a fan of, but it's still iconic across the entire sporting world.
