For five years, from the 2007-2008 season to the 2011-2012 season, both players crossed each others path as they performed their individual wizardry to help their teams win a championship.  Iguodala and the 76′ers never made it to a championship game, but Timonen helped the Flyers to reach the Stanley Cup Championship game in the 2009-2010 season, but eventually lost to the Chicago Blackhawks.  Both players toiled together in Philadelphia for five long and arduous years, but it was not until they both left the City of Brotherly Love, that they each attained the highest honor that a sportsman can achieve, winning a professional championship and being called a winner.

Lionel Messi, of FC Barcelona, dazzled the Camp Nou fans and the world with his football goal-scoring wizardry, by leading his team to a 3-0 drubbing of Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Semifinal match, on Wednesday, May 6th.  For 77 minutes of their match, both clubs displayed great dribbling control and set up nice plays for each team to score, but the goal-keeping prowess of the best keeper in the world, Bayern’s Manuel Neuer, kept Barcelona from scoring.  In the 77′d minute, Messi scored a fierce goal on an exquisite strike to break the stalemate.  And then in the 80th minute, Messi’s brilliance was on display as he dribbled past defenders, caused one defender to fall down, and scored a chip shot floater beyond the reach of Neuer, to make the score 2-0, and put an exclamation point on a stellar performance.  Neymar scored an equally impressive goal to extend Barca’s lead to 3-0 in the 90+4th minute to seal the deal.

Tom Brady, Quarterback of the AFC New England Patriots, lead his team to a startling and momentous win over the NFL Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX.  Brady played a masterful game, despite two interceptions, against the number one defense in the NFL in the 2014 season. He completed 37 of 50 pass attempts for 328 yards a 4 touchdowns.  His four touchdown throws went to four different receivers on his team and when he needed to, he sliced through the tenacious Legion of Boom.  Brady set two Super Bowl records in the game; most completions(37) and most career Super Bowl touchdowns(13).  With those stats, Brady was Super Bowl XLIX MVP for the 3rd time and he won his forth Super Bowl in six visits to the biggest NFL game of the year.  Russell Wilson and his Seahawks, the defending NFL Champions, came back from a 14-point deficit and were poised to win the game with just seconds remaining on the game clock; but an inexplicable call to throw the ball from a shot gun formation while 1/2 a yard from the goal line with the best running back in the league, Marshawn Lynch, in the back field, doomed Seattle to suffer a devastating loss and watch the Patriots revel in the franchise's fourth Super Bowl Trophy.
