THE BIGGEST CHOKE JOBS IN THE NBA PLAYOFFS

NO 3. BETTER KNOWN AS DAVID V GOLIATH, OR "THE 5 GAME SWEEP" NO NBA TEAM HAS EVER BEEN FAVORED SO HEAVILY IN A FINALS MATCH UP EVER, THE LAKERS ASSEMBLED GARY PEYTON & KARL MALONE TO THE MIX, EXPECTATIONS WERE HIGH AGAIN, TO WIN A TITLE, & THEY CHOKED, AFTER THIS GAME, IT WAS THE DEMISE OF THE SHAQ/KOBE ERA, PEYTON WAS TRADED, & MALONE RETIRED...



NO 2. THE FIRST EVER UPSET IN THE 1ST ROUND, STILL TRULY AMAZING, TO SEE THE NUGGETS PULL OFF THE BIGGEST SHOCK IN NOT JUST NBA HISTORY, BUT SPORTS IN GENERAL...




AND...




NO.1 "KISS OF DEATH" NOT SINCE 1982, HAS A TEAM COME BACK FROM A 3-1 DEFICIT, IN 1995 THAT ALL CHANGED, WHEN THE SUNS WERE WINNING THE SERIES & POISED TO GO BACK TO THE FINALS AGAIN WITH CHARLES BARKLEY, BUT... THE HOUSTON ROCKETS SOAR BACK TO WIN GAME 7, MARIO ELLIE'S KISS OF DEATH IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS GESTURES BESIDES THE (CHOKE) IN NBA HISTORY...
