Dwight did choke but at the same time he didn't have a star or a superstar playing on his team back then,he was surrounded by jumpshooters/role players (Lewis) (Hedo) (Lee) (Jameer) (Redick) (Pietrus)
Yeah his first time in the finals, he and his team weren't swept tho.

Most people forget that almost everybody who has ever won a chip has been destroyed earlier in their career. Just look at Shaq getting sweeped plenty of times in the playoffs, Dirk getting destroyed by the Warriors, Kobe airballing in Utah etc.
It just a part of the learning experience and why we say veterans are so important when it comes to the playoff. James Harden is a very dangerous when it comes to the playoff.
Sure, like mj being 1-9 in the bulls prior to pip's arrival or bran being 0-2 in the finals before his first chip.

The second best or third best team losing to the best team isn't "choking." His individual performances have been shaky but he seems to be improving in more recent runs.

the denial is real with harden stans. With the exception of last year he gets worse every post season and had more than one choke job in an important elimination game.

I think Harden is going to have his best playoffs yet. He's had a LOT of big playoff duds on the road, think he (along with other guys known to choke) are gonna benefit from no HCA.
