[QUOTE=To4]what happend to nick thou.. i mean, he was a reliable FT shooter.. but his mind just completely went blank i guess.[/QUOTE]
It happens. Remember when Arenas missed those two, and he's super clutch.
I've seen Ray Allen, Reg Miller, Nash, all missed free throws down the stretch before.

What about Wilkins getting traded to the Clippers?

He did make one more all-star appearance the following season, but he retired in 1981 at age 32.

Nick missed not 2 in a row, which he only needed 1 to ice game 1 of the 95 Finals. He got his own rebound and got fouled again and again proceeded to miss 2 again. He had 4 chances to ice the game and blew them all.
Shaq left after the following season. Its like Orlando never recovered from those 4 FTs.
Something like that wouldnt destroy elite players like Ray, Reggie, or Nash. But something like that can destroy role players forever.

I'd say Kermit is the one that applies in this thread.

Re: Non injury moments that negatively affected a player's carrer
Pippen, refusing refusing to enter the game in the final seconds of Game 3 vs the Knicks in the ECSF. That really hurt his image, and his detractors loved to bring that up as proof of him not being dependable in the clutch.
