Not just the greatest leg of darts ever, this is one of the greatest moments in sport ever. When the players, commentators and fans combine like that - AMAZING!

The crowd make this historical 🙏🙏
Just 3 days in to 2023 and we already have had the best moment of the year. This was amazing.
The little high five after MVG missed between the players was an almost missed touch of class sportsmanship.

@@TWF17069 That is totally unfair. Both players did a great job of staying focussed and not getting carried away with the moment - that's what I saw. it's called being professional.
2022 was the year of Michael Smith's career. Not only did he win his first major, and then the world's, and now this. Absolutely majestic! 👏👏👏
" I swear you will never see anything like this ever again "
The occasion, The scoring, the precision from both men. The crowd reactions, the now iconic commentary. Every single bit was absolutely immense! Greatest couple of minutes in darting history
What a leg of darts just wow! The actual drama alongside the commentary will make this the most viewed clip for decades to come. Epic
I can watch 100 years and this will never happen again. Purest historic sport moment. Congrats to Smith, he deserved the win.
This leg is literally The G.L.O.A.T! It will never be matched for years to come, pure entertainment, excitement, the crowd were electric and the commentators were insane, this video will become an iconic and nostalgic moment for years to come! I wished I was there to see this! Well done to Michael Smith, such a humble man and Van Gerwen for giving him a great final 👍🏾👌🏾❤️
Love how these guys throw, no wasted motion just pure precision
I've rewatched this so many times already, I'm so honoured to have seen this. I can't get over how phenomenal this was

Most darts fans have watched so many times because it's that good.
I have watched this clip multiple times and everytime I watch it it gives me goosebumps. The crowds reaction to every dart was just exceptional.
Could watch this on repeat and get the same goosebumps every single time. Just insane darts 🎯
Just come back to this now and then and it brings a smile to my face every time. Wow just wow
As someone that has been watching Darts for 14 years now, THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER GOT TO WITNESS!!!
What an incredible match 🥵🤯🔥 Two Legends 💥💥💥 They make history and will be immortal The whole audience fell into a crazy riot
Come back to re-visit this from time to time, won't ever find another 1m 30s clip of any other sport that is more hype
Goosebumps even after the hundredth watch. Love that MVG gives him a little hand gesture before bully boys final throw. Makes you feel alive
I could watch this leg a hundred times and it will still be an amazing leg. I don't think any word can describe that leg, what a leg, what a final. Bully Boy deserves his moment. 👍🏼🎯

this is my happy place. come back to this a few times each month. and wow. just wow
The darts,this leg ,the crowd the whole commentary just gives me shivers over and over again. Amazing 👏🏼
I have never seen a 9-darter live before and was pissed off. Now after this 9-darter in the best leg of all time i am so happy and can't believe this really happened.

One of the few perfect moments in sport... the insanely high level of play, the iconic commentary, the limbs in the crowd... can't get much better than this
I love Wayne Mardle’s reaction..C’MONN NOW! I cannot SPAKE..I CANNOT SPAKE!!😁Just brilliant...such a Rocky moment .. it had everything! This is the best sporting moment I’ve seen in years and by far the best Darts moment ever! It gives you hope that maybe everything is alright with the world again. Love love loved it. Well done to both for making an incredible final and that double 12 ... Go Smith! Congratulations Smith.👏 🏆

Wayne Mardle's commentary is right up there with one of the best ever, just gets better each time you watch...
This was one of the best and craziest World Championship‘s ever. We had Clemens as the first german guy in semi finals, a perfect leg in the darts final which led to darts history , a new World Champion - and on top if this Gerwyn Price with his headphones. A World Championship we will always remember.

@@hansigrossini3123 pretty impressive to add even more stupid on top of something already so stupid.

Every now and then, may be when I’ve had a bad day, I put this clip on and always always feel better, one of the best moments in any sport, period!
I use this video to get me ready for work every single day :)))))
This was so hype to watch live! Absolutely insane!
To witness "THE" perfect leg was something I would´ve never imagined! 🙏 This won´t ever be forgotten and will always bring tears of joy to my eyes when I stumble across this clip in years to come. 🔥
Just heard Michael Smith being interviewed here in NZ as we have him over for the Darts Masters this weekend. Saw this as it was happening on live TV and came back on YT to relive it. Simply one of the best minutes of sport you are ever likely to see. To beat arguably the greatest player of this generation with a 9-darter at a World Championship final is pure sporting nirvana.
I will happily watch this over and over again for decades to come!! 😁😁
Arguably the greatest minute in any competition across all sports
This is going to hit a million views real quick! May be up there as the greatest moment in darts history together with MVG's 17 perfect darts, and the commentary is yet again a big part of that. Thank you Wayne Mardle and Stuart Pyke! We have truly witnessed history 🙏
