Now that the Magic's has done it, in one of the biggest game in the biggest stage I figure it's time to rehash the biggest choke game in sports to date. These are my top five that I had personally watched that happened on the biggest stage.
1)Memphis losing to Kansas in the NCAA 2008 Finals
Why-All Memphis needed to do was foul or make on Free throw to win it all as a Mid Major School, which wasn't has done it since UNLV in 1990.
2) Scott Norwood missed Field Goal in the 1990 Superbowl
Why-The Bill out played the Giants the entire day, and Norwood couldn't even hit a very makable 43 yard field goal that would of gave the Bills their first Superbowl win ever.
3)Mariano Rivera Blown save in 2001 Game 7 World series
Why-Rivera was coming off 23 consecutive post season saves heading into the 9th inning in this game. Rivera was virtually unbeatable, until this game.
4)Earnest Byner fumble vs Denver 1987 AFC Championship game
Why-1st and Goal on the 2 yard line with 1:12 left, and all Byner needed to do was lounge into the endzone that would of likely forced overtime. Instead Byner is stripped from behind, and missed a golden opportunity at potentially making it to the Superbowl for the first time ever.
5)The Orlando Magics final 13 seconds Game 4 NBA 2009 Finals
Why-Dwight needed to make one FT to make the game two possession, or Jameer Nelson forcing a foul on Derek Fisher to make to pressure Free throw. Instead he allow Fisher to make a three, and the Magics missed a great opportunity at turning this series completely around.
