You didn't possibly bet on the Lakers + 4 like I did and start celebrating @ 102-104 only to realize Kobe fouled Lewis with 0.05 seconds left on the clock as the clock runs to termination and realize Kobe single handidly killed your spread and even could have won the game if he didn't choke so horribly? | ||

Two, I'm in agreement with Xeris. It doesn't matter how poorly Kobe is playing. He has the best chance of making the last shot. God damn at 62.5% shooting. Broken record? | ||

Courtney Lee missing a last second layup doesn't equate to the Magic choking Phil Jackson actually made a comment that Gasol should have been whistled for goaltending. But thats typical Phil playing mind games as usual.  But yeah, I wouldn't equate that to choking. There was an article clearly describing that the layup was a lot tougher than it looked. Here's a play drawn up for a rookie. He catches the ball nearly under the basket on the run and has to lay it up over a 7-footer. It's not the easiest task to do. | ||

Let's also not forget that he barely played that game as well. Hard for a rookie who had been sitting all game to come in and win a game in the Finals for his team. | ||

But if you're referring to MJ getting the ball stolen by Nick Anderson in Game 1 against the Magic in 1995, the Bulls lost that series  | ||

He is by no means a choke artist, but believe me that's not the first time hes messed up on a play that can decide the outcome of a game. i wouldn't say i've followed his career over the years (simply because i'm not a fan) BUT i've seen kobe miss a fair amount of potential game tiers/winners. with that said all i'm claiming is that i've never seen him turn the ball over before in the manner that he did (he tried to split the defense and had it poked away). | ||
