You kinda had to see it live, since there was no youtube or instagram to watch highlights. I remember seeing cool matches on the back of my dad's newspaper and then asking my friends what happened. All the athletes were just generally more cool and had a certain swagger to them. And living in a country where we didn't get really good sports coverage meant that you would only ever hear about Cristiano Ronaldo having a good match in the Prem, or hear about LeBron's domination in the NBA, it was like they were myths. And then when you actually catch a game, it was like seeing the myth in real life. idk it was weird but cool af
