Worst Quitting in the history of NBA

[AintNoSunshine]

Just off the top of my head:

a. Raptors vs. Kobe on the night of 81
b. Bron vs. Mavs
c. Kobe vs. Suns
d. LAL vs. LAC last night

what else?

[ImKobe]

Lebron

[Vienceslav]

Raptors didn't quit they never had a chance.

[cos88]

kobe without a question. biggest game of the year, game 7 and he just didn't give a ****

[AintNoSunshine]

Raptors didn't quit they never had a chance.


:lol I know you don't know basketball and you didn't watch, but no, they quit and simply gave up.

[YouGotServed]

2014 Lakers

[Akrazotile]

People seem to forget after Kobe bricked a hero shot at the buzzer in game 1 against the mavs a few years ago he completely quit the rest of the series.

He also quit at the end of last year and quit this year too. The dude is collectin checks and fakin injuries.

The definition of quit.

[no pun intended]

kobe without a question. biggest game of the year, game 7 and he just didn't give a ****
so, by your logic, bosh quit on the heat last finals?

[cos88]

so, by your logic, bosh quit on the heat last finals?


do you remember the second half of that game?

[ImKobe]

:lol I know you don't know basketball and you didn't watch, but no, they quit and simply gave up.

They didn't quit, they were up 14 points at half time son. Then Kobe said fvck it and dropped 55 in the 2nd half, they tried everyone on him & tried double/triple teams, no one could catch Kobe. He drove into the paint and they had 2-3 guys literally pushing him & he made it look so easy. He was on a whole nother level, they gave up when Lakers took a double digit lead in the 4th.

It came to a point where everyone was against him, he had 4 dudes on him in the paint and he just stepped back & scored over all of them.

Really? The Mavs series? A guy with a always hurting knee, sprained ankle, and god knows how many other injuries after three straight runs to the finals, and you call that quitting? He just literally didn't have anything left

[no pun intended]

nope, remind me.

& Kobe was done in 2011, he literally played on one leg for the entire season & was fatigued come Playoffs.

& he didn't quit against the Mavs, he tried his best & did have a 36 point game against them with the game-winning 3 that rimmed out, after that game it seemed like our team lost the motivation to play any further. Dumb fouls, Phil having to slap Pau to get his head straight, everyone but Kobe played like crap in that series. Kobe had a relatively good series with 23 ppg on 46% shooting, problem was our defense, we couldn't stop them anywhere with Pau playing like he did, Dirk averaged 25/9/3 on 57/73/94 shooting

Pau averaged 13/9/4 on 42% shooting :facepalm, the supposed MVP of the Lakers.

[RagaZ]

Cavaliers vs Celtics Game 6 2010.

[RoseCity07]

Probably the day Kevin Durant decided to stop using Pro Active.

[Mr Feeny]

Define quitting, because those don't fall under the category of quitting by my definition

Scoring 1 point in the second half of a game 7 on 0-3 shooting is quitting in all sense of thw word. Barbosa (a bench player) just flat out embarassed Kobe and the Lakers had their worst game 7 loss in history.

[leMVP]

Durant vs Memphis last year.

:facepalm quitting and choking is not the same

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Tough choice b/w Lebron VS Celts and Lebron VS Mavs
he just gave up u could see how crushed he was by his eyes. KG and Dirk just analed him badly he was feeling it for awhile poor dude:( :(

He quit in game 5.

it was apparent.

How the hell did LeBron quit against the Cav's? Dude averaged 27/9/7/2/1 on 56% TS, with a 37 year old Shaq as his second best player. He was the led the team in scoring, rebounding, assists, streals, and blocks, while playing elite defense against Pierce and Allen. It's like saying KD quit against the Grizz, Heat, and the Mav's.

2011...


:dancin

[Quickening]

ITT people don't understand the difference between quitting and choking... clue, Kobe quit on his team against the Suns, he choked in the NBA finals game 7 shooting 6/24.

The first is unforgivable, the second is just part of the game.

[ArbitraryWater]

Right. Game 7 Kobe takes 3 Shots going 0-3 in the 2nd Half and scoring 1 Point off a Technical Freethrow... "not quitting". Glad you're objective though and can look past your preferential feelings. Kobe wanted to make a point that the team couldn't live without him, it was obvious.

:roll: Kobe had 23 in Game 2, and then scored back to back 17 POINT GAMES @ Dallas and yet he doesn't get any critizism? "Everybody but Kobe" wow...

Averaged 23 ppg for the series on 46% shooting, Pau averaged 12.5 ppg on 42% shooting with Dirk shooting 73% from 3, the series completely falls on the incompetence of the Lakers front court & fatigue from 3 straight Finals runs. Kobe just didn't have enough in the tank to do what he did the previous 3 years & the Lakers got stomped because of that.

Kobe badly sprained his ankle in 2010, missed games first time since 07, then proceeded to have his knee drained several times during the 2009-2010 season, in which he won another title & an FMVP, then in 2011 in the 1st round(I think game 3 or 4) he rolled his ankle badly, if it had been the regular season he wouldn't have played.

I don't buy that "rolled ankle" shit. First off, the movement looked completely unnatural&intentional, and Kobe THE NEXT GAME, had his 2 best dunks in the last 3 Years... How did that happen?

It's the Injury excuse IMO. Whenever he plays bad, "this that happened". LeBron simply isn't built for Injuries. Bron ain't bout dat Injury life.


Also, so you'd basically give LeBron a pass if he averages 23 ppg on 45% fg and goes out swept? Because he has been to 3 straight finals and played the olympics too ya know..

Ask him how many shots Kobe took compared to Pau? He'll tuck his tail between his legs...
23 ppg on 45% fg for a first option is downright embarrassing especially considering his 1-10 fourth quarter in game (3)? and getting massacred by a bench Jason Terry as his team gets blownout by 36 is just cringeworthy.

Lakers up 3-1 against the Suns
Went to game 7
Kobe scored 30-something points in the first half, his teammates less than 10
Kobe attempted only two shots in the second half (read: he QUIT)
Lakers lost in 7 games
Kobe demanded to be traded in the summer

This is why I can never respect Kobe (plus the fact that he is a rapist and the only reason he didn't go to jail was he paid off the girl).

I wouldn't say Bron quit against the Mavs. That was just a straight up pants-shitting.

This X1000.

Bron vs. the Mavs was an example of him being a mental midget. Against the Celts in '10, he flat out quit and disengaged.

[LBJ 23]

Yea, I don't understand people choosing Mavs series over Boston. Against Dallas his jumper was off and he couldn't get to the basket (what Mavs did to force this is underrrated on here), but against Boston there was a game where he was refusing to receive the ball standing almost out of bounds in the corner for several possesions.

[aj1987]

SMM. So he had a bad game. Can't believe that ******s still blame LeBron for that series, when he led his team in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. Literally every major category. He even had a 29/19/10 tuple double in Game 6.

It's like saying Jordan quit on his team in '88 or in his epic Game 5 performance in '89 against the Pistons.

Nah. You dont get to chalk this up as a "bad" game. Dude's effort was suspect.

Game 6 has nothing to do with Game 5, where he BLATANTLY gave up on his team. Read/watch the links I posted.

Yeah. He does that even now. Dude is a horrible off ball player. When Wade is running the offense, he's usually standing in one of the corners. It's not like he wasn't trying to score either. The video did say that he went 1-11 on his jumpers. I'm pretty sure that he didn't miss them on purpose (now that would be quitting). Nobody was even there to actually help him out that game. Shaq did have a decent game.

Also, those two defensive plays. How's that just giving up? Bad rotations is all. Jamison wasn't quick enough on the first play and he was ball watching under the hoop. Mo was literally lost on that play. LeBron could've fouled on that play, but I'm sure that he didn't pick up his fourth foul early in the 3rd.

Again, LeBron led the team in points, rebounds, assist, steals, and blocks. His second best player was a 37 year old Shaq, a year away from retirement. Everyone else underperformed and played like hot garbage. How was he supposed to win?

Using BR for articles? :facepalm :facepalm

This is from that article:

Cavs owner Dan Gilbert didn't say LeBron James quit Game 5. He said he quit Games 2, 4, 5 and 6.

How do you "quit" on your team and still put up 27/19/10/3/1 on only 21 shots?

If we're saying that LeBron quit on his team against the Celtics, then what about MJ against the Pistons in '88 and '89 (Game 5)?

[Andrei89]

Kobe v Celtics game 7 should count as well. Although, it counts more as a choke.

He is supposedly the closest thing to Jordan, yet puts up back to back 17 point performances in must win games on the road? :biggums: And let's remember, the Lakers were the championship favorite going into the playoffs, not Miami.

Jordan is so lucky social media didn't exist back then, cause if it did he would have been murdered for that. :roll:

LeBron James literally stopped playing with his team as favorites, in winnable series mid way through them. Got out played by role players. Let his team down. Couldn't even put up his averages.

This thread is a no contest as far as I'm concerned. Then on top of it, he quit on his hometown team, and franchise of 7 years. There is no bigger definition of a front running quitter than LeBron James.

rolled the same ankle twice in 1 month altho that wasn't the main reason we got swept...fatigue, injuries (esp@the SF slot Barnes&Artest), shannon brown boning pau's girl, unmotivated phil and the Mavs that were shooting 99% from the field that series.

And don't give me any BS about Wade being hurt, players of his caliber should always be able to find a way to be effective.

No. He doesn't do that "even now". Playing little-to-no defense while ssettling for jumpshots isn't exactly his makeup.


Again, LeBron led the team in points, rebounds, assist, steals, and blocks.


Wrong. Lebron finished with 15/6/7 on 21% shooting. Shaq had 21 points, Varejao pulled down 8 boards.

They were a great team, which is why I still don't understand why everyone acts like it was such a HUGE upset. Heat won 58 games that year, the Mavs won 57, including both regular season games against the Heat. The way people talk about it now you would think the Mavs were a 40 win 8th seed or something. :rolleyes:

[NumberSix]

Nope. He retired @ 35 years old, 6 rings, 5x MVPs, 6x Fmvps.

He joined the Wizards because of the friction with Jerry Reinsdorf, Jerry Krause, and the fact they didn't offer him a management position. Mutual resentment. John Paxson tried to convince them to bring the franchises, hell the game's greatest player into a management position.

MJ wanted to be there in Chicago with the organization, still lived there too. He wanted to win another ring in 1999 even, but the Bulls let go of Pippen, and PJ. You didn't know this? You're talking horses of completely different colors.
Translation: jordan quit on the bulls because they didn't make the moves he wanted. :hammerhead:

[SamuraiSWISH]

Is that not exactly what I just said, but reworded?
No it's completely different. Jordan wasn't a player. He WANTED to be with the Chicago Bulls. LeBron wanted to win rings as easily as possible. Quit on his empty promises, quit on his hometown, etc. A Quitter at heart. He didn't want to be in Cleveland. MJ wasn't being asked to stay by the owners.

He knows. He's just trolling.

Fvck, even the Kobe stans never trolled this much. Can't wait until the Heat fail to three-peat this year. The mass trolling on Bran stans will be epic.

[aj1987]

No. He doesn't do that "even now". Playing little-to-no defense while ssettling for jumpshots isn't exactly his makeup.
Did you see his game vs the Spurs like 2 days ago? He usually stands in one of the corners, when he doesn't have the ball in his hands. So yeah, he does that even now.

From my previous post about the defense:

Also, those two defensive plays. How's that just giving up? Bad rotations is all. Jamison wasn't quick enough on the first play and he was ball watching under the hoop. Mo was literally lost on that play. LeBron could've fouled on that play, but I'm sure that he didn't pick up his fourth foul early in the 3rd.



Wrong. Lebron finished with 15/6/7 on 21% shooting. Shaq had 21 points, Varejao pulled down 8 boards.

Did you watch the game?
I was talking about the entire series, 'cause people usually talk about the whole series. Since you're talking about just one game, it's irrelevant now.



You dont like BR articles? Well here is one from Simmons, who at the time, was a HUGE Lebron fan: http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/100512&sportCat=nba
Nope. BR sucks ass. It's like one of the worst sites ever. I'm not gonna read that huge article, btw. I know what I saw. I don't need someone else telling me what happened. LeBron had a bad game and it's as simple as that.



Wait are you quoting that moron, Dan Gilbert? Didn't he say the Cavs would win a championship before Lebron? The guy has ZERO credibility.
That's from the BR article you posted.

LeBron had a shitty game and he sucked ass. Simple as that. MJ's Game 5 against the '89 Pistons is what I would call quitting.

He wasn't "standing around". Dude was just...missing shots. Looked a lot like this past finals, before Game 6 happened.


I was talking about the entire series, 'cause people usually talk about the whole series. Since you're talking about just one game, it's irrelevant now.

Most people here are discussing single-games. Not ENTIRE series, where you would be hard pressed to find ANYONE flat-out quitting.

Everybody that followed basketball watched the game. They also "know what they saw". Lebron quit. Period. Otherwise you dont get homers like Bill Simmons coming out of the woodwork and making articles about it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d-Mnfz6iB0

In hindsight, he probably already checked out knowing he was going to Miami. That wasn't a decision he made on the fly or overnight as he ridiculously claimed. He was just a guy who had given his two weeks notice, going through the motions, waiting for his last paycheck to come in. I remember there were endless excuses for him sleepwalking on the court- from his elbow to him finding out before the game Delonte West f*cking his mom :lol

Which brings us to the Worst example of quitting in NBA History:

Yes. That's called having a bad game.

No wonder it was suggested that the Bulls turned Jordan into a $2.5-million-a-year decoy.

"That's a pretty crass thing to say," Jordan's coach, Doug Collins, snapped back. "That's a pretty big shot to take at us.

"Michael scores 46 points, and people say he's not sharing enough of the offense. Now he takes eight shots and you tell him he's the highest-priced decoy in the game.

"Is that fair?"

Jordan sure didn't think so.

He made a conscious effort, he said, to involve his teammates in the offense, what with the Pistons putting everybody but their trainer on him when he touched the ball.

"Why should I take the shots if they're double-teaming me, triple-teaming me, sometimes even putting four guys on me?" Jordan asked. "Didn't we still get good shots?"

Yes, Michael.

"Well, did we hit 'em?"

No, Michael.

"That's the whole story," Jordan said. "We gotta hit 'em."

Held to 18 points--10 on free throws--Jordan was virtually no scoring factor in the game, although he did account for more than half (nine) of Chicago's assists.

Dat double standard though. LeBron passes; he's a ***** coward. LeBron has a bad game; he quit. LeBron misses a shot; CHOKE!!!
Mo shits the bed? Blame LeBron. His teammates take a collective dump in the playoffs? Blame LeBron.

Jordan does the same shit? GOAT. But his team lost? GOAT. He didn't even try? GOAT.

LeBron tried and his shot was broken. Lets also forget about that epic MJ game 6. What was it? 5-12 from the FT line and 8 TOV's? The Game 4 as well. 5-15? Doesn't he usually take like 23 shots a game? But yeah, lets all forget that MJ did have flaws like all other players.

You MJ stans are worse than Kobe and LeBron stans combined.

Bruh, you're not fooling anyone. We're not talking about some obscure game from the 50s. People still remember Lebron vs the Celtics. It's fresh in people's minds. He wasn't trying to get his teammates involved, he was sleepwalking out there. It was painfully apparent, to the point that journalists were writing articles about it, fans were coming up with crazy conspiracy theories (Delonte tagging Ms. James) to explain it away. Looking back, it's probably because he had already mentally checked out to Miami, before he did so physically a few weeks later.

You're pissing in the wind trying to argue that Jordan consciously trying to involve his teammates to overcome the multiple defenders/Jordan rules and Lebron quitting on his team are the same thing. Now if Jordan had gone on national TV a few weeks later to announce he was abandoning his team to go to Portland to buddy up with Clyde Drexler and Charles Barkley... then maybe you'd be on to something.

BTW- Here's part one of the full game 5 from the Bulls-Pistons 1989 series:

Why would he quit in Game 5 and decide to show up in Game 6?

As I said, I saw that game live and he had a shitty game. Nothing more. Quitting would be taking 8 shots when you normally take ~25. Quitting would be taking 15 shots when you normally take ~25 shots.

He did the "Decision" almost 8 weeks after the Celtics game. After the Cav's failed to sign ANY quality players. Not a "couple of weeks" after the game 5.

Some dude posted a video about LeBron apparently quitting. All they did in that video was say how LeBron took jumpers and missed plays defensively. Obviously the video was made by a dude who never player basketball in his entire life.

Also, those two defensive plays. How's that just giving up? Bad rotations is all. Jamison wasn't quick enough on the first play and he was ball watching under the hoop. Mo was literally lost on that play. LeBron could've fouled on that play, but I'm sure that he didn't pick up his fourth foul early in the 3rd.
