2016 Leicester City is the only comp in all of sports.

Agreed. Not sure which one is better, I’ll call it a tie. Absolutely amazing stuff

This is incredible, but Leicester is probably a bit ahead. Indiana was still a playoff team last year. Leicester were absolute nobodies when they won. The prior season they were 14th and were in a division down the year before that.

Yup, agree. Indiana is definitely on top in terms of American sports though. Yesterday was awesome

Oh for sure. Indiana’s achievement is definitely at top of the list for American sports. Leicester is just mind boggling such that there is no real analogue in American sports. Maybe a 16 seed winning March Madness is the closest that comes to mind.
