I don't know if they're actually as rare as they feel, but those moments where everything comes together and we totally dominate something have a way of staying with us. I mean, that's probably the entire reason why trophies exist.
But if someone actually catches those big moments on camera, it does a lot more to jog our memory than a little statue that tells people, "Yeah, I was pretty good at bowling or something."
I suppose that means these people had about as much luck as they did skill...but in a good way.
