Some stories of the past that led sporting headlines around the world on June 19.
1984
In one of the most stacked NBA drafts in history, Chicago Bulls select Michael Jordan with the third pack.
Jordan, who is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, went on to win six championships with the franchise, despite Bulls general manager Rod Thorn initially expressing disappointment with the pick.
"Jordan isn't going to turn this franchise around," he told the Chicago Tribune. "I wouldn't ask him to.
"He's a very good offensive player, but not an overpowering offensive player."
Other players in the draft included Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley, and John Stockton. Olajuwon went to Houston at No.1, while Portland took centre Sam Bowie second, ahead of Jordan.
2004
Wing Joe Rokocoko scores a hat-trick, as the All Blacks beat world champions England 36-12 to secure a 2-0 series win in Auckland.
The tourists had to play most of the match with 14-players, after Simon Shaw kneed New Zealand lock Keith Robinson in the back.
Carlos Spencer and Dan Carter also scored tries in England's biggest defeat in six years.
2005
Kiwi golfer Michael Campbell creates history by winning the US Open at Pinehurst Resort in North Carolina.
Campbell held off a late charge from Tiger Woods to become the second New Zealander to win a Major, after Bob Charles.
Starting the final round four shots behind South Africa Retief Goosen, Campbell produced the best round of the day four birdies and three bogeys to close with a one-under-par 69 to finish the tournament on even par, with Woods two shots behind.
2016
Cleveland Cavaliers win their maiden NBA championship, after beating the Golden State Warriors 93-89 in Game Seven of their finals series.
LeBron James had promised the city a championship and that didn't seem likely when they trailed 3-1 after four games.
But a remarkable fightback saw James fulfil his promise and deliver the city a title.
The deciding game is remembered for a famous block by James on Warriors forward Andre Iguodala with the score tied at 89-89 and 1m 50s remaining in the game.
2019
An unbeaten century from captain Kane Williamson sees the Blackcaps beat South Africa by four wickets in their Cricket World Cup match at Edgbaston.
The result was never certain, despite a superb all-round bowling performance from the Blackcaps that restricted the Proteas to 241/6 from 49 overs. Play started 90 minutes late, due to a wet outfield.
But Williamson's century, along with a valiant knock by Colin de Grandhomme, saw the Blackcaps home with three balls to spare.
