What's crazy about the Chicago 2011 choke, was that in the very next series Miami played some of the worst basketball of their stint and LBJ was practically a non-factor. Going from how they routed Chicago literally the series before to immediately playing like that is why I thought LBJ got paid off or there was some shady shit going behind the scene because it was an absurd back to back series to witness lol
@@johnnybeatmaker330 they’re an underrated all time defensive team having Marion and Tyson Chandler in his prime and had a great defensive scheme specifically for Lebron but he got punched in the mouth and withdrew from the series bro. He could’ve done much better than he did despite Mavs’ defence…
@@johnnybeatmaker330 Not to take away from the Mavs defense but I vividly remember so many possessions where it was like LBJ was scared to take control because it was D Wades team or sum, and if the Mavs had this historic defense that could neutralize prime Bron then why were they not consistently making the finals year after year?
@ᴀᴠɪᴇx they swept the defending Champs and beat a prime kd, russ and harden. This was there 2nd trip to the finals in 5 years, and they would win 60 + every year. They were nonscrubs. He won mvp I'n 07
Because the Warriors lost in 2016 BECAUSE OF CURRY. He shot horribly for his standards and Kyrie cooked him in the switch. LeBron’s chokes should also be spoken about in the same way though. Same goes for any other player ever, including Kobe and Jordan
For the Spurs, I gotta agree with Sage on this one. 2013 was bad but their BIGGEST CHOKE EVER was in 2011 vs Memphis. Number 1 seed, 62 wins, lost to the 8 seed in the first round. That 8 seed had also never won a playoff game in their entire franchise’s history
I am a Spurs fan but watching Kawhi and Manu missing free throws that would seal the deal on game 6 and Duncan missing a free one against Battier on game 7 was devastating.
I'm glad Solz finally said it, only people who didn't care or get mad at KD when he went to the warriors are either warrior/KD diehard fans or their teams just weren't championship contenders at the time.
I'm a bulls fan. I could care less. I was dealing with my own teams issues. Lol. I thought it was funny as hell to be honest. What's worst is that KD signing with GS masked how actually bad that Free agency was cuz people were overpaying out the ass for players and that was what actually ruined the NBA for a few years. Mike Conley highest paid in the league for a sec what was going on
I am a Spurs fan and I was salty too but I find it funny that KD did the super team better than Lebron. Lebron got a cake walk to the finals on the garbage Eastern Conference those years while the Western Conference was a complete bloodbath before KD joined the Warriors. Hell I saw the Spurs winning 67 games on 2016 only to lose to a great Thunder team on the Conference Semifinals while Lebron was facing the Trash Bros on the Eastern Conference Finals. Lebron fans are the most salty when KD joined the Warriors. 😂😂😂 Lebron fans love to brag about Lecoast on the regular season but Lecoast was only possible on a garbage conference like the Eastern Conference those years. Lebron does that "Lecoast" bullshit on the Western Conference on the West only means he was going to face teams like the Warriors, Spurs or Thunder on the first round. The Eastern Conference was complete garbage those years.
For the Brooklyn nets, I think the 2022 1st round sweep is more abyssmal of a choke job than the 2021. In 2021, they lost due to injuries, KD was balling with a hobbled James Harden, in 2022 they just got swept with Kyrie and KD both healthy and playing.
You guys have really stepped up the videos. Its getting better, all because the Celtics just lost at home to the 76ets without Embiid 😂😂😂 Harden with 45 on your head tops 👌👌👌
Warriors we up 3-1 & lost 3 straight games to lose the series just like the celtics who were up 2-1 and lost 3 straight games to lose the series. Ironically enough to steph and those same warriors 😂😂
I loved the Bubble. Celtics and Raptors, Celtics and Heat, Rockets and OKC, Mavericks and Clippers, Nuggets and Jazz, Nuggets and Clippers, and then Lakers and Heat. So many fun series, several game sevens.
I think the Grizzlies had a worse showing this year - last year, Ja went down and they didn't have Adams the whole time. This year, the Grizzlies didn't have Adams at all, but they shot themselves out of games against an inconsistent Lakers and an injured Lebron.
I demand yall to show Harrison Barnes stats in that 2016 finals it was atrocious. It wasn't draymond missing the game that cost us. It was them realizing they don't gotta guard Barnes after game 5.
Can we also talk about how Steve Kerr inexplicably had Festus Ezeli playing 4th quarter minutes in game 7 while repeatedly getting cooked by LeBron on pnr every time
I mean steph still was Ass...this man is the point guard and had more turnovers than assists that series. I also remember watching game 7 and Steph did multiple absolutely garbage plays in a short time period in the last few minutes of game 7... yes Barnes wasnt it, but he wasnt supposed to be. Steph Was meant to be the Star and he was just as much of a no Show as lbj was in 2011
Rockets Game 7 against the warriors was the hardest game 7 i ever watched in my life and i seen Luka murder Phoenix. Them MFs literally missed 27 fuckin consecutive three point attempts on some 2k type shit
For the knicks the 95 season should be the bigger choke. They lost to the pacers who they beat the last year by choking game 1 horribly and game 7 with a missed open lay for ewing
2016 is WAY worse than 2011. Steph was the B2B MVP. They appeared to be way better than Cavs that they also beat 2015. They won 73 games. Back in 2011, Lebron was still a scrub Charles Barkley KD type player and considered overrated and a loser with no rings. That whole season media was like "who will run be bat man who will be robin?" The West was very strong back then with the top teams like Mavs winning 55+ games (Dallas had 57, Miami 58). After 2016 the choke was so bad they got KD. After 2011 choke, Miami just ran it back. 2016 was a slow painful downfall, all they needed was one game with homecourt. 2011 was like "wtf lebron" but it was just a quick downfall when the choke began and he sucked all series.
Trailblazers 2018 first round getting swept by AD and Pelicans in the first round is it for me. Jazz 2020 3-1 Lead to Nuggets too. These just popped up in my head.
I dont know if Supersonics count as part of the Thunder franchise but their choke job as a 1st seed against the Nuggets was worse considering they were the 1st seed going up against an 8th seed in the 1st round when they were up 2-0 and all they needed to do was win one more game and it was their best chance to win it all that yr considering MJ also retired for a few yrs
Yo sage your mic is not good enough to be talking while the video is playing, u a funny dude so i wish i knew what u were sayin but my ears are bleeding. 13:40
For the Grizzlies it should’ve been blowing a 21 point 4th quarter lead in Game 1 of the 2012 Playoffs to the Lob City Clippers and losing the series in 7.
As a Steph stan, the Warriors choked. No doubt about it. The only time I can forgive a blown 3-1 lead is when there are injuries that sideline your best players. But if you got the two main guys the offense is built around on the floor, it's no excuse for not being able to win just 1 fucking game
The 2022 Timberwolves had their worst collapse because they've never assembled an actual competitor before or since, and that is somehow worse than the collapse.
Curry's choke job is way worse. Dallas was a force that year. Not out fault casuals didn't know that. They 4-1'd that young, but good OKC team. They also swept your Lakers Sage. Being up 3-1 and losing in that fashion for a team that was 73-9. Come on now.
