Manej & Laurent Robinson vs Jordan & Pippen.
Manejinites down by 4 with 5 seconds left. Manej crosses over Pippen and drains the 3.
He than proceeds to steal the inbound pass as Robinson is getting some Kool Aid.
Jordan fouls him and he steps up to the free throw line and drills them Teen Wolf Style.

1) In 2001, when Seattle won about 110 games (funny how teams improve after A-Fraud leaves), and they were 51 games over .500 and playing at Cleveland, and up by 12 runs in the 7th inning. TWELVE FUCKING RUNS!! I'm counting the money I'm gonna make on a three teamer, the other two were in already. Seattle proceeded to blow that lead, including allowing the last 5 runs to score with two out in the 9th, all off that Japanese pitcher whose name I forget, had a pretty good career in the states, but not that night. They actually "only" allowed them to tie it, but when something like that happens you know you're gonna lose in extras, and so it came to pass. They said that had happened only once before, back in the 1920s. That made me feel way better. Others:
2) Jana Novotna was known for choking a Wimbledon final away to Stefi Graf. She had an even worse, albeit less important choke: she was up 5-0, forty love, in the 3rd and decisive set, to a much longer ranked player, Chanda Rubin at the French Open-and lost. She later said she never felt completely comfortable, LMAO!
3) The Milwaukee Bucks played the Knicks at the Garden in '72 or '73, led by Abdul Jabbar and Oscar Robertson. They won the NBA championship in '71, but even during that year they couldn't win a game at the Garden. The losing streak was about 15 in a row when the game was played. The Bucks were finally gonna end that streak, they were up by 18 with 4:54 to play...and the Knicks scored the last 19 points of the game. Both Kareem and the Big "O" turned the ball over like JV players, and Luicius Allen, a 90% foul shooter, bricked two with under a minute left. I can still hear Marv Albert bellow in his distinctive voice, "And the Knicks have STOLEN a ball game!"
4) Vanderchoke at the British Open. Norman at the Masters that one year was no slouch, either.
5) And, of course, our winner, the 2004 Yankees, an extended choke job, over about a week's time, against a (perceived) weaker and devastated opponent. The Great Rivera not doing the job, not once, but twice, and almost all of the Pigs failing to hit the moment they got up 3-0: Matsui, Sheffield, Jeter, and, of course, A-Fraud. It was hilarious seeing them have an incredibly stupid signing coming back to bite them in the ass at the worst possible moment-having to start Kevin Clown in Game 7, where he got lit up faster than I can break wind. Sweeeeeet...:money8: :aktion033 :missingte :banger:

1. NBA. Portland game 7 against LA in 2000 playoffs. Down 15, and somehow let the Lakers win. Taking quick shot after quick shot that wouldnt go, pretty much gave the game to LA. I still dont believe a team could ever be that dumb. This will always stand out as the biggest choke job to me.
2. van de Velde at the british. All he had to do was try and stick the pin. Instead, he takes this really weird shot to lay up. And it falls way short going into the drink, of course we all know what happens after that.
3. 2004 yanks in the ALCS. This is really the obvious #1. I'll be nice though. But, they lose their 1st baseman, who really isnt even a Yankee to begin with to an injury in a blowout game 3, and just couldnt recover. I mean they couldnt do anything. It was very bizarre.

People make such a big deal about Buckner. It was one play-ONE-and, more importantly, it didn't cost the Red Sox the Series. If it had happened with two outs, runners on second and third, Red Sox up 4-3, then, yeah, you could make a case for that. But the Mets went from being behind 5-3 in the 9th, two outs, nobody on, to 5-5, winning run on second. They had all the momentum, were the better team, at home with extra innings being the worst case scenario from that point. And, for good measure, that was Game Six, not Game Seven-the Sox could still have wrapped it up the next game, where they duly took a 3 run lead into the 6th inning. I'm not defending him because of a Red Sox bias-I was a Met's fan. Calling it the biggest choke ever is misguided, to say the least. Now, think about all the things the Skanks had to do wrong over a week, and it alllllll started with Dave Roberts pinch running and stealing second by a whisker...
Just perspective there. It's not so much that Buckner's play cost them the game or that ball between the legs scored the winning run in the deciding game. It is the fact that if he makes that play, the series is over. If he fields the ball and gets to the bag before Wilson, Boston wins
Series Done.
