What Are The Most Embarassing Moments In NBA History?

[selrahc]

For me it has to be when LeBron had to go out of the game due to cramps... It was in the NBA FINALS and his team could have easily caught up and won but he had to be taken out of the game looking like a little bitch.

[Fudge]

This was pretty f*cking beta, tbh. :oldlol:

In basketball period, that I've seen, it has to be Webber's timeout v.s. UNC.

[Smook A.]

-Pistons, Pacers Brawl
-Nick Anderson misses 4 straight free throws at the end of game 1 in the 1995 NBA Finals

[Stringer Bell]

I don't think Lebron honestly sissied out and couldn't deal with the pain. Sometimes things just happen to your bodies, although the visuals were rather embarrassing.

Now the 2011 Finals, that was a different story.

Nick Anderson's FOUR missed FTs.

Yep.

[JT123]

I'd have to say Kobe's 6-24 performance in game 7 of the Finals, while having to be rescued by Gasol. :lol :lol :lol
Also Durant falling down in the clutch against the Spurs. :facepalm

[Stringer Bell]

Kobe's press conference with his wife was pretty embarrassing.

Off topic, but this thread reminded me of what is perhaps the most embarrassing moment in sports history, and it doesn't get talked about enough.

Gotta go with Nick Anderson and Kobe Finals Game 7..

I mean everyone is aware of how huge the game and stage was, and that guy just couldn't deal with the pressure.. The Highlights are hilarious, also.

Chucked up 24 shots, missed 18, some didn't even hit the rim... Definition of shook. Bit similar to Durant against the Grizzlies this year.

LeBron 2011 Finals comes next... Too passive in the 4th.

It's really not embarrassing. The Lakers won a championship and Kobe got FMVP. Who cares if he played like shit? It's say losing against the Suns in 2006 was infinitely worse because he absolutely could have won that series.

[jstern]

Off the top of my head, the one that would affect me the most if I was the one going through it would be the Melo getting shot when he was in Denver.

After that it would be Kobe's four air balls. I know that must have hurt the entire Summer.

You honestly defend that performance? Or are you saying all LeBron has to do is play marginally better than the likes of Kawhi Leonard in the Finals and that's satisfactory?

[T_L_P]

:rolleyes:

18/7/7 is better than what "FMVP" Kawhi did this year

18/7/7/.541 TS% is better than 18/6/2/.753 TS%? :roll:

That's unbelievable. LeBron must have been invisible to Kawhi. Has anyone ever shot that well against the "DPOY"? :roll:


:roll:
:roll:
:roll:

Oh, and saying the GOAT (according to PER) is slightly better than a system player doesn't mean much. Surely it's like saying "Shaq was better than Aaron Williams you know?" :roll:

Perk pushing the point. Or that clear it out wave he did then threw the ball away.

[stephanieg]

Lakers were at home and Kwame Brown was having an extremely Kwame Brown-like game. Multiple turnovers in a row, blowing layups, etc. The whole crowd was booing him mercilessly and his team mates didn't know what to do but for some reason they kept giving him the ball and he just kept screwing up. It went on for a good 3-4 minutes. It was a weird mixture of hilarious and kinda sad. Used to be a good vid of it on youtube, but it's gone now.

[L.A. Jazz]

2014 finals: splitter blocking Wade with Wade landing on his ass. that summed up Wade's play and the whole finals.

What was worng with this team that he was allowed to shoot those shots in first place? imagine what Jordan or Kobe (from 99 on) would do to a benchplayer taking and missing those shots.

[T_L_P]

Kawhi got under LeBron's skin.

LeBron is visibly shaken by the presence of a 21-year-old system player.

The ultimate humiliation, beaten at your own game and having to wear that ridiculous crown. :facepalm

I think he was just looking at who was subbing in, and reacting to the missed free throw before.

Yeah, it might have been. It was about a year ago now so I can't say I really remember it.

I do remember people saying it was because of Leonard though. :confusedshrug:

[Stringer Bell]

:rolleyes:

Kawhi Leonard is an up-and-coming player.

Lebron is one of the best players ever. Naturally, he is held to a higher standard. Especially after The Decision and that whole "not 1, 2, 3, etc...."

3 of the 4 games the Heat lost came down to the last minute (even the last second in game 2) and Bron underperformed in all of them, completely stinking it out in game 4.

[CelticBalla32]
