No, I'm positive it was against North Carolina. I'm pretty sure it was the for the NCAA championship too, but it could have been a final four game. I know it was one or the other. Either way, a huge choke job by Webber. His college career will forever be marked by that incident.
easily CHRIS WEBBER!!! OH No! Time-Out! Oops, we don't have any timeouts! We lose..................what an idiot, will haunt him forever and then some.
What about STONE COLD Peja Stoyakovic in that Kings series this past year? They gave him the ball for a 3 pointer when he hadn't played in days, bricked it!
by sport i would have to say FOOTBALL: oilers vs bills. nothing else even comes close. i'm still pretty sure than it never actually happened. BASKETBALL: just has to be nick the brick. i mean maybe it's my houston bias here but 4 friggin free throws in a row. unbelievable. oh and thank you again nick. also i'm pretty sure the guy that threw it to worthy did it trailing by one right?? then worthy just caught it and ran the other way and either ran the clock out or got fouled with like 2 seconds left BASEBALL: based on the infamy alone it's gotta be buckner. although one has to give props to the stros for blowing a 3 run lead in the 9th of game 6 against the mets with mike scott going the next day for a trip to the world series. thank god i was only 4 then and didn't have to see it.
On the other end, think of all the "legends" made from those chokes. Kenny Smith never looked so explosive with that three that sent them to overtime...
That was Kobe Bryant stripping Pippen, not Harper. Biggest choke? Karl Malone clanking freebies. Portland fading in the 4th in 92, and 99.
I'm pretty sure Jordan hit the game winner for UNC in that game. Something like 15 feet with 16 seconds left...
I'd got with Robert de Vicenzo who lost <b>The Masters</b> because he signed a wrong scorecard!!! Man, that had to hurt. This took place sometime in the late 60's. Yeah, it was Jordan who hit the winner. Wasn't it before that turnover? Not sure. Seems like Georgetown was coming downcourt with a chance to re-take the lead....
Wow, RdV really botched it with the bad scorecard. Reminded me of Jean Van de Veld (or some such) choked up, what, like three shots on 17 or 18 at the British Open?
Oilers-Bills I vowed to never root for those guys again. I was physically sick. Unfortunately I broke my vow when Buddy Ryan was hired and what do they do? Go on a 100 game winning streak only to CHOKE away the playoff game vs an old Joe Montana and the Chiefs. I'm getting mad typing this!!! Go Texans! Don Beebe was out of bounds
Abdul-Jabbar and the Bucks had a bad choke in 1973 against the Knicks. In their playoff series (I think it was the playoffs) the Bucks led 86-74. The Bucks then failed to score another point, and lost something like 86-87, or 86-88. The Sixers lost a similar lead to the Bullets in the 80s, but I don't think it was a playoff game. The Bullets scored something like 16 straight points to win the game. Ouch on both counts.
Cat, you forgot the best part. On the Blazer's last inbound of the game, looking for the tie or win, Quitten throws the pass over the entire Blazers team to NO ONE in particular and just watches it bounce away. The Rose garden is stunned into silence.
I'm surprised nobody has said Denver and Seattle. You know it, I know it, I think Seattle would of beaten Houston in the WCF that year.
What about that Golfer guy, VanDervelveghsahgs or something. I think it was the U.S. Open. Or Greg Norman at the Masters. On Nick Anderson: He was quite never the same again. He only had one great game, and that was against Shaq and the Lakers, when they came back to sunny Orlando. The Brick did some kind of Shaq head dance thing when he hit a three pointer to beat them. Anybody remember?
Yeah, I remember that. He had 30 points in that game. Actually the last few months of that season were VERY good for Nick. He was averaging something like 25 points a game. Everyone was thinking he was fianally making a comeback. Then, the next season, Penny returned from his injury, forcing Nick to play out of position at SF again. His stats sufferred for a year, and then he went to Sacramento, never to be heard from again.
