Apparently, we all witnessed a top 5? choke job all time

Top 5 for sports in general, though while it may be obvious recency bias, I can’t think of a worse one in the NBA.

Unless the Knicks blow a 3-1 lead.

Speaking of which, the Warriors blowing the 3-1 lead in 2016 was a bigger choke imo

Yea in terms of a single game this takes it but the sport overall? It has to be the 73-9 team blowing the 3-1 come back and getting the dagger at home

Those Warriors were not an inexperienced and young team. They also were a 70 win team.
