Underrated NBA Choke Jobs

[SilkkTheShocker]

We all know all the stuff Lebron, Kobe, etc. did wrong.

But what are some of choke jobs that don't get brought up enough?

A few of mine:

-Sedale Threatt getting scorched by Stockton in the last two minutes of the 97 WCF.
- Tim Hardaway turning the ball over in game 7 of the 99 playoffs. Led to Allan Houston game winner.
-Barkley's Suns losing to the Rockets in 94 after winning the 1st two games on the road. We all know they choked in 95, but the 94 one was pretty bad also.

Kings 2002 game 7: Everybody enjoys talking about how badly they got ripped by refs, but they had a last chance to finish the job... that game 7 was an airball fest.

peja stojerkoffavic... wide open for 3 in the corner. i dont care how injured he was. he is supposed to be a dead red great shooter and he shoots an airball... i think webbers choke gene was exaggerated and not enough attention paid of the choking of peja.

Not to mention the ill-advised tip out by Vlade to a waiting Horry. :facepalm

Not necessarily underrated, but still epic: Nick Anderson.

[Indian guy]

T-Mac blew three 2-game playoff leads in his career. Everyone remembers the one against Detroit in 2003, but he did it in 2005 and 2007 too. It's just unheard of for a superstar to blow series' that often.

Definitely Phoenix in '94 and '95, '94 being the worse of the 2. They won the first 2 IN Houston and still lost. How does that happen?

SA were always the masters of choking against LA in the 00's. Countless blown leads in the 4th qtr. Even blew a 2-0 playoff lead in 2004. They had a serious mental block against Kobe and Phil.

That 04 series is really underrated when it comes to choking. Not sure what the stats may say, but as the series went on you could see Malone give Duncan some problems on defense

Pacers and Reggie lost that series

How about T-Mac?
"It feels good to finally get out of the 1st round..."







And then proceeds to lose the series.
