These are some of the most memorable game-losing plays in NBA history, from missed game winners to boneheaded plays! Business Inquiries: mcosh3@gmail.com
The fact I ain’t never seen MJ get the ball stolen and fall on the ground to lose the game as well as Kobe’s 4 air balls in a row shows their PR teams worked OVERTIME to conceal them clips 😭
Well when u win enough and have enough great moments, ppl can forget the bad times since u made up for them. Kobe missed tons of game winners, but he hit alot and most importantly he hit them in dramatic fashion.
That Nick Anderson one is so painful to watch. Dude literally had to go 1/4 to ice the game. Heart always breaks for him no matter how many times I see it.
@@Greegocame here to say this. After seeing the 30 for 30, I've always felt bad for Nick Anderson. The aftermath of those 4 shots really messed up the remainder of his career to the point he didn't even want to shoot.
Fun Fact: In the game where Brandon Knight missed the wide open layup to win, he hit the tying 3 in 2OT to send it to a 3rd overtime period, and the Bucks ended up winning.
What happened with the timekeeper in that game? Clock stops at 0.7 sec for no apparent reason. Did Jordan trick the timekeeper? Did he assume there must have been a reason Jordan just stopped?
@@michaellee4276i think it was a malfunction, because ordinarily the clock stops on a shot clock violation... Even though it hit the rim and the clock should have kept running
Eh, it was the conference semi-finals, still had to go through Shaq and Penny and then Hakeem. They blew their 3-2 lead against Houston the year before, that was when they were the closest.
@@selassieaspen9940 Not sure what you mean? Shaq only won one MVP, in L.A., in the 1999-00 season. In Orlando, he played in the finals against the Rockets in 1994-95. If you meant Hakeem, he won the MVP in 1993-94, the season when Rockets met Ewing and the Knicks in the finals and won.
If he makes that layup, Game 7 goes to overtime. Do the Knicks win that overtime? I have no idea. The Pacers had outplayed them in that game up until that point. If they win the overtime, they go up against Shaq and Penny. And the Magic have home court advantage. During that regular season, the home team won all 5 matchups. So the Knicks had not won in the O-rena once yet. Orlando was a better team that year. Indiana took them to 7 with the home team winning all 7 games, and maybe the Knicks do the same, but I don't see the Knicks winning that series either.
Fr because everybody knew that the lebron had no chance of beating that warriors team while if andreson made just one free throw the magic might have won the championship
Ehhhh idk, missing free throws just happens, it def had bigger magnitude but it wasnt really a braindead mistake or anything, but cant say the same for Smith
People make those four missed free throws by Anderson to be a bigger deal than it actually was. Even if the Magic had won that game had he made the shots, they still had no virtually no chance to beat the Rockets in the Finals. Houston was the far superior team: they had the experience (they won it all the the year before) and they had seasoned veterans who were used to the pressure of winning. The Magic were the best of the worst that was the Eastern Conference, which stunk at the time.
The only way you could even become as great as MJ, Kobe, or Lebron is to make a ton of mistakes....and learn from them. Idiots don't learn from their mistakes. Smart people do. Brilliant people not only learn from their own mistakes but from other's mistakes too.
The annoyance in the announcers voices when Valentine made that terrible 3-point shot that missed handily never ceases to make me laugh. These are some hilarious miscues and fails and whatnot too, a couple heartbreaking ones as well.
“Tragic plays”, that’s what this video should have been named. Instead it’s called “game losing plays”, even though half of the clips result in going into OT.
not really if you're educated. its a normal word, means not interfered with or disturbed and is pretty much never used to describe anything to do with S.A.
The only possibility I can think of is: Draymond thought he would get fouled right away when the defender came to him without having a chance to pass the ball to Steph, so might as well shot the 3s and had a chance to get 4 points play.
@@Diablo-rd4ow👎 No! It's fuckin Stupid. 5 seconds you give Curry the damn ball! Why would I let Draymond attempt 3 free throws anyway? When you have greatest Free throws shooter of all time on the courtright next to you! 😂
Brandon Knight was a fine player but between the missed layup buzzer beater, getting cooked by Kyrie at the All-Star game, and being on the wrong end of one of the most iconic posters in NBA history, that man had some bad luck.
I've always had respect for Nick Anderson. After the Magic got swept he was the first person on the microphone to accept responsibility and say it all might have gone completely different if he had made one of those four free throws. He never tried to deflect the blame elsewhere for the team losing momentum. It's a shame nearly 30 years later that is still the most important moment in the history of that franchise.
Add in all the ones where they need 3, and they go for a 2. I had to pause to collect my emotions. This collection of clips hurts me. At least the Valentine one was early on. Think that'd kill me if it was the last one.
I was familiar with pretty much all of these, but halfway through I was still thinking “that’s got to be the worst one, how can it get any worse than that?”
This video was NOT long enough. You really threw some classics in there, though: Jordan getting stripped by Nick Anderson, only for him to go on to miss 4 consecutive FTs, Kobe's 4 consecutive missed shots, Brandon Knight's missed layup in Brooklyn, and that 1 guy who stupidly threw up the ball only for the opposing team to catch it and tie it up with a 3 - which I've always thought was the dumbest of all plays like it.
It wasn’t stupid to throw the ball in the air. Many players do this so the timer can run out while no one can touch the ball. The problem was he didn’t throw it high or far enough.
@@traxagenda3445 A. Not a Kobe fan. B. It was his last game in the NBA. I’m sure the last thing that was on his mind was “well I better be efficient so that the contrarians don’t have ammunition against me”. You Kobe haters need to touch grass.
@@traxagenda3445 no. You’re genuinely being a hater. He was having a terrible season after 19 years of wear and tear were finally taking a toll on his legs. He finished almost every game with terrible shooting performances and their team was not making it to the playoffs. It was one of the only times Kobe had scored so low in his career, and he just didn’t look like himself at that point. I think scoring 60 in his last game despite all of that especially the way he went off in the 4th quarter especially in a game that they were not expecting to win warranted some respect. You’re just being contrarian because of the mass support and enthusiasm for the performance, you’re finding some way to say “well actually it’s not that impressive you casuals” to sound like you know basketball, but for one game we weren’t overly concerned with efficiency, just the narrative behind a still impressive performance, even with the lack of efficiency with proper context. Get over yourself.
0:46 Probably my favorite worst play of all time. Bro takes the ball under the basket, travels a mile and a half, passes it back out only for his teammates to miss their 4 shot attempts, 3 being easy put backs. The fact there’s 8 minutes left in the video scares me
I remember watching the video where Kobe was talking about those 4 air balls, he said when he flew back to L.A, he got to the gym at 3 a.m and shot literally ALL DAY
The play by Nick Anderson on Jordan....knowing how it unfolds later in the playoffs. Man it felt like that Orlando team was destined, not just that year but like the next 5-10 with Shaq and Penny leading the way. It's crazy how that all unfolded, and you could point to Nick Anderson missing those FT against the Rockets as the turning point. And Jordan fucking decimating them next year...because you know he took that steal by Anderson and them carrying Horace off the court personally.
I'll not forget the Grant Williams v Celtics one... as I needed Jarrett Allen to get one more rebound for a bet in that game, and him missing the second free got him exactly that. :P
Damn near shed tears seeing kobe airball 4 shots in a row and then seeing shaq talk to him because we know the absolute determination he showed after that to never let it happen again 🥹
Like Anderson said, 45 isn't 23. Funny that he's the one who said that, then proceeded to miss 4 FTs in a row in the finals that same year and cost them the game lol.
@davidschmidt1793 Doesnt matter what number he was wearing you can find moments like these in his career where he missed big shots or misplayed in crunch time. Im only saying this because there are a lot of people out there that act as if jordan never missed shots in the clutch or was perfect all the time and never made bad plays in crunch time. And im not a jordan hater i think he is the goat but i dont think it is as definitive as people think. I think you can make a case for others being the goat as well
@@Mike-hy8cs Every single player missed shots in the clutch, including MJ. I'm not trying to say he was perfect. In my opinion, that Magic series was the worst in his career. He obviously wasn't himself and seemed nervous in the clutch in that game. Anderson didn't say 45 wasn't 23 for no reason. I had never seen Jordan act like that in the clutch. The video doesn't show, the entire sequence, but he not only gets the ball stripped, in the next play he turns it over trying to pass to Pippen and they lose the game.
@@andrew_l1900 Honestly, I think everyone knows about that series, mainly after 'The last dance'. That was the series he came back and lost to Shaq's Orlando Magic. He screwed up big time.
As a slightly old head millennial, the older ones that made me sad were Ewing’s missed layup and Harper having a JR Smith brain fart. I forgot the layup was a game 7 like ugh, damn. I was too young to see the Harper play live but I remember reading about the Mavs giving the 80’s Lakers fits. They wound up losing that series in 88 in 7 games. Harper, Aguirre, Rolando Blackman, the real Perk Sam I Am,young Tarpley, young Detlef, big James Donaldson. Underrated squad.
i think draymond's play actually made a lot of sense. yes he should've passed it to steph, but the instant game winning play for the opposing team is to foul draymond in that situation. it was actually really heads up for him to anticipate that and try to get a shot off so he could get 3 free throws instead of 2.
yeah he did the smart thing and it happened to be the one time the other team did the dumb thing, which made him look dumb. It's like the old adage: "You can't know what they're doing, if they don't know what they're doing."
@@verde7595No you imbeciles, Wtf Would I let him attempt free throws when he can't make ten points a night. ESPECIALLY, when you have the greatest free throw shooter and 3PT shooter on your team right next to you. He had time to spare.
I still remember watching that bucks nets game in my room and seeing brandon knight miss that layup to win the game. man i was devestated. my best friends favorite team is the nets so it made it 10x worse lol. those days being a bucks fan was the most fun. the team was capable of winning any game but seemed to always fall short in the 4th quarter., that was the fun in watching them. seeing if they would scrape by or fail
So many NYK plays that still hurt today. The Reggie 8 points, the Starks missing every shot in the Finals, the multiple missed taps ins by Charles Smith, etc
@@Dangic23 I totally agree. It’s just with the importance of that game. Game 7, few seconds left in 4th quarter, open layup to send the game to OT! Cant imagine the fans exiting that game

It’s the reaction of the announcer that makes it that much better
that shot ended his NBA career
The announcer was so done w him 😂
That’s why he out the league. Stupid shots like this

Why he say that

No it means you're a fucking nephew. Those clips been around and talked about forever.
I've seen kobe's but honeslty never seen Jordan's. I knew they lost to the Magic but never saw that..

Absolute facts.
That Nick Anderson one is so painful to watch. Dude literally had to go 1/4 to ice the game. Heart always breaks for him no matter how many times I see it.
Exciting game as a Rockets fan. I thought this would be the most tragic since it affected a lot more than just the game
For the idiots, all they know from that series is that Hakeem swept Shaq. Games are won by teams.
he should have slowed it down and collected himself
Nick was never the same after that. Those missed free throws seem to have zapped his confidence. I felt sorry the guy.

Saw the thumbnail and literally clicked on this video just to make this same comment :-P
That's all I came to say too lol
so it's not a game losing play, just postponed the game winning to 3rd OT.
I was watching that game. Couldn’t believe that miss but he became the hero that night with that 3
Thanks Brandon Knight's burner account. You've just defended yourself.
CP3 screaming for Jordan to shoot was hilarious!
he shoulda stole the ball from him.
Man I’m over here crying laughing cause he couldn’t get the ball 🤣🤣😂😂😂

Ewing missing an open game 7 tying layup is savage, that single play could have got him a ring
Eh, it was the conference semi-finals, still had to go through Shaq and Penny and then Hakeem. They blew their 3-2 lead against Houston the year before, that was when they were the closest.

Anderson missing 4 free-throws is worse than the JR smith one

And JR Smith one was cost them Game 1 in the finals. While Anderson cost them NBA first Chip for Magic due to this situation.

Apreciate the old games. Not many channels go so far to show us old and memorable moments. Thsnk you for the effort!
Even Jordan and Kobe, despite being two of the greatest players ever, made mistakes. A great lesson for all of us.
I think Jordan and Lebron are the two best players
@@googoogaga3440😂 good joke

When draymond shot the 3 with 5 seconds left vs Spurs the announcer said “why’d he do that for? No. They got time.” 😂
I don’t get this one because normally they would foul right away which would mean only two free throws on not the greatest shooter. They needed 3 pts

Actually Brandon Knight and the Bucks won that game.

and Lebron missing free throws to win games , he didn't put there
It wasn’t stupid to throw the ball in the air. Many players do this so the timer can run out while no one can touch the ball. The problem was he didn’t throw it high or far enough.
Oh man, you made me watch Nick Anderson miss all those free throws again... so painful
The announcer really used the word “unmolested” layup. I had to do a double take after I heard that 😂

Damn near shed tears seeing kobe airball 4 shots in a row and then seeing shaq talk to him because we know the absolute determination he showed after that to never let it happen again 🥹
4:03 WOW the media never shows these kinda highlights
7:03
Great videos. Love to see that Stars also fucxup
Seeing those empty stadiums during covid scare TF out of me. That was a crazy time to be alive
4:01 for everyone that thinks jordan never had bad moments in the clutch
Like Anderson said, 45 isn't 23. Funny that he's the one who said that, then proceeded to miss 4 FTs in a row in the finals that same year and cost them the game lol.
@davidschmidt1793 Doesnt matter what number he was wearing you can find moments like these in his career where he missed big shots or misplayed in crunch time. Im only saying this because there are a lot of people out there that act as if jordan never missed shots in the clutch or was perfect all the time and never made bad plays in crunch time. And im not a jordan hater i think he is the goat but i dont think it is as definitive as people think. I think you can make a case for others being the goat as well
Yep, all these “once Jordan started winning championships, he never lost” people try to erase that series from history
@@Mike-hy8cs Every single player missed shots in the clutch, including MJ. I'm not trying to say he was perfect. In my opinion, that Magic series was the worst in his career. He obviously wasn't himself and seemed nervous in the clutch in that game. Anderson didn't say 45 wasn't 23 for no reason. I had never seen Jordan act like that in the clutch. The video doesn't show, the entire sequence, but he not only gets the ball stripped, in the next play he turns it over trying to pass to Pippen and they lose the game.
@@andrew_l1900 Honestly, I think everyone knows about that series, mainly after 'The last dance'. That was the series he came back and lost to Shaq's Orlando Magic. He screwed up big time.
Grants face after he misses the first one fucking kills me
As a slightly old head millennial, the older ones that made me sad were Ewing’s missed layup and Harper having a JR Smith brain fart. I forgot the layup was a game 7 like ugh, damn. I was too young to see the Harper play live but I remember reading about the Mavs giving the 80’s Lakers fits. They wound up losing that series in 88 in 7 games. Harper, Aguirre, Rolando Blackman, the real Perk Sam I Am,young Tarpley, young Detlef, big James Donaldson. Underrated squad.
Been waiting for these 😂😂😂
i think draymond's play actually made a lot of sense. yes he should've passed it to steph, but the instant game winning play for the opposing team is to foul draymond in that situation. it was actually really heads up for him to anticipate that and try to get a shot off so he could get 3 free throws instead of 2.
yeah he did the smart thing and it happened to be the one time the other team did the dumb thing, which made him look dumb. It's like the old adage: "You can't know what they're doing, if they don't know what they're doing."
Popovich was one of the first to go for the game winning shot early to give a rebound chance. Green was going for the same idea, just too far away.
@@verde7595No you imbeciles, Wtf Would I let him attempt free throws when he can't make ten points a night. ESPECIALLY, when you have the greatest free throw shooter and 3PT shooter on your team right next to you. He had time to spare.
4:26 is especially hilarious because the year before PG was making fun of Dame for missing clutch free throws in almost the same situation 😂
Nick Anderson remains immortal in the world of biggest choke jobs... 4 missed FT's in a row and that was the end of NBA Finals and the Magic franchise
For all the critisisms surrounding Ayton and his effort, the Valley Oop will live forever. Such a clutch play.
For me, wide open lay ups are hard sometimes because I feel so preasured
that Kobe break away was all I needed to see,
I still remember watching that bucks nets game in my room and seeing brandon knight miss that layup to win the game. man i was devestated. my best friends favorite team is the nets so it made it 10x worse lol. those days being a bucks fan was the most fun. the team was capable of winning any game but seemed to always fall short in the 4th quarter., that was the fun in watching them. seeing if they would scrape by or fail
2:31 wtf is that choice of word for a missed layup 😭😭
2:29 “Unmolested layup” 😭😭😭
MJ had a game losing play? Bro, what? I can't believe it
#45 MJ ain't #23 MJ
Yeah they really try to erase that from the history books
This whole video brings complete mental torture but its hard to look away.
1:13 blud was snoozing 😂
That Ewing miss will always hurt, could’ve won game 7 in OT if that finger roll went in
So many NYK plays that still hurt today.
The Reggie 8 points, the Starks missing every shot in the Finals, the multiple missed taps ins by Charles Smith, etc
@@Dangic23 I totally agree. It’s just with the importance of that game. Game 7, few seconds left in 4th quarter, open layup to send the game to OT! Cant imagine the fans exiting that game
@@mc_production8819
Yes.
My eyes got watery when it happened, not going to lie.
🤣
I enjoyed that. Off to search Kirilenko highlights
The commentator saying at 2:30 " he missed an unmolested layup" is wild
I never tire of seeing Kobe brick up all those shots against my Jazz.
😂
Brick he was hitting nothing but air fam and I’m a laker fan
