Julius Erving

This picture from January 1977 shows Julius Erving of Philadelphia 76ers fame seemingly defying the laws of gravity and physics a second before landing his full extension while dunking a superbly magical dunk with just one hand. All that his Denver Nuggets opponents could do was watch on helplessly. The way that Erving seems larger than life and takes up so much of the frame gives him a godlike appearance. He was one of the tallest players of his time, too!

John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson

April 10, 1961, at Opening Day. Vice President Lyndon Johnson and President John Kennedy marvel at a particularly stunning moment along with the rest of their VIP crowd. The venue? Griffith Stadium while it was enjoying its Opening Day. This stadium was constructed in Washington, D.C., where the expansion Senators roosted. This was one of the more exciting moments in the late president’s life, where he sat down among the people looking like any other person.
