Where does the Spurs game 6 meltdown rank in all-time chokejobs?

It has gotta be #1 all-time chokejob in all sports, right?

I know it won't get the publicity as others have, but it's a much bigger deal than Bartman, Buckner, etc

20 secs to go, up 5, they are wheeling out the Larry O'Brien trophy and Stern is making his way towards the court. Spurs win that scenario 97 out of 100 times, and they fricked it up the worst way possible.

I thought they had it. Yet, once again the fat lady may warm up, but until she actually sings......

It kind of balances out. They got lucky when Sheed didn't close out on Big Shot Bob and that basically became a determining factor of what happened in '05, though that did go 7 games.

Isiah throwing the ball to Larry Bird was bad, but that was in an ECF. C-Webb's melt is overrated since there was no guarantee Michigan would win even without the frickup. Sactown against the Lakers was ugly, but that took a whole quarter I think.

Not even close

I'd say the Oiler's playoff loss to the Bills would dwarf this one in choke magnitude.

Rangers choke was equivalent or worse IMO

I'd say Iron Bowl 2010 was a pretty marvelous choke job as well.
