Solar eclipse 2017: Twitter is having so much fun finding #SportsEclipse moments

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

When two celestial bodies cross paths, you get an eclipse. When two human bodies cross paths in sports you get a #SportsEclipse. These are our favorites.

Lance looking up like he’s finding his own eclipse is special.

A classic draft moment.

The GOAT, hands down.

Still have no idea where Mark Dantonio went.

Wait for it ...

We NEEDED J.R. Smith on this list.

LeBron greatness.

Eclipse coming at you!

Special honors, aka “The Chris Bosh section.”
