[QUOTE=Beatlezz]Lebron's legendary 8-point performance in the NBA finals. Would've been 6 points if he didn't get 2 free throws for this flop. :roll:

[QUOTE=2006suns]according to simmons, it's karl malone. pre-2011 i would've gone with dirk. right now? i guess it's t-mac.[/QUOTE]
Dirk's playoff career even pre-2011 featured more impressive play than disappointing playoff. He was always one of the best playoff performers of his era, and had already been to 2 conference finals and a finals, pulled off a few upsets and made it out of the first round 5 of the first 6 seasons he was in the playoffs in a tough Western Conference. He just happened to choke in the finals in 2006 and choke really badly in the first round the next year when Dallas won 67.
T-Mac played very well in the playoffs for the most part, though he wasn't particularly good late in games during the 2002 Charlotte series, iirc, and had the poor game 7s in 2003 and 2005. Can't say he had a bad series during his prime, though, and he went up against superior teams all those years and took two series to 7, which is no small feat with that 2003 Magic team.

Re: Biggest chokers of all time (That's what she said)
Definitely both Lebron in the 11 finals against the Mavs.
Kobe in the playoffs getting swept by the Mavs too.

Miami's 2011 outcome had nothing to do with LeBron, and everything to do with his teammates and coach.

[QUOTE=longtime lurker]Chris Webber and Karl Malone seem to top the list here.[B][U] Can someone enlighten me on this whole Tragic Johnson thing?[/U][/B][/QUOTE]
It was the '84 Finals, and in the crucial moments of a couple of close games Magic made some critical errors contributing to the Lakers losing.
[B]Game 2 [/B]
[I]In the 4th, L.A. took a 115-113 lead with 18 seconds left. McHale was fouled and had 2 shots. L.A. coach [B]Pat Riley told Magic that he wanted a timeout if McHale made the 2nd shot but Magic misunderstood. After McHale missed both, L.A. called timeout and allowed the Celtics to set up their defense.[/B] Magic got the ball to Worthy in the backcourt, but with Magic standing just an arms
