Worst team failures/choke jobs in NBA history

[MichaelCorleone]

2003-2004 LA Lakers



-4 All-Stars COLLUDING to win a ring.
-The BEST defensive PG in the history of the game.
-One of the best PF of all time.
-Fans talk mad shit and already declaring themselves the future champions.
-Made the finals but CHOKED to the underdog Pistons.
-Team has 4 first ballot hall of famers in Shaq, Malone, Payton, Kobe.

First ever collusion in NBA history where stars SHAMELESSLY team up to try and win a ring but came up short. Said to be among the biggest chokejobs in NBA finals history.


2012-2013 LA Lakers



-Second attempt at collusion.
-Projected to win Western conference.
-Fans talk mad shit and make memes already declaring themselves the future champions.
-Team has to get suspicious officiating vs subpar teams just to make the playoffs. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MhmGyZ7KF0
-Will end up winning 0, ZERO playoff games.
-Team has 4 first ballot hall of famers in Kobe, Nash, Dwight, Pau and a former DPOY in Artest.

This has to rank among the biggest chokejobs season in professional sports. At least the 2004 Lakers got to the Finals before Kobe chucked them out of it.

It's funny how both teams have a common denominator.

2011 Heat

3 stars in their prime colluding to win a ring
Failed miserably when their supposed "leader" choked them out of the series

2012 Thunder

When you put it that way its very hard to make a case for 2011 Miami Heat. They 'choked' but no where near to the extend of those two teams.

This is a keyword here. Somebody post Lebron 4 quarter stats.

The 04 lakers choke horribly but with malone hurt and Payton declining horribly it wasnt as much of a choke than 2011 heat. Lebron was spooked not even wade could unshaken him from the massive rape marion and terry did on Lebron.

Exactly.

Kobe tried colluding twice and failed to win twice.

2013 Heat, they lost to the washed up oldies Spurs, but Stern saved his golden cow

Good first post by OP. Anyone with half a brain will be able to put the pieces together.
