Maybe last year in the NFL
Arizona started 7-0 and barely made the playoffs
Or about 7 years ago the SF Giants in baseball at the all star break was on pace to have one of the best records in the history of baseball and ended up having the worst record post all star break in baseball and missed the playoffs
Only team in the history of baseball to have the best record in baseball before the all star break and the worst record in baseball after the all star break.
If the pelicans don’t get it going they about to join the list

LSU football in 2015 was bad and the only implosion that I can think of rn that comes close. Leonard Fournette was a Heisman candidate and tigers were 7-0
#4 Bama, Arkansas (not even ranked at time), and #22 Ole Miss then all proceeded to kick our teeth in.
Went from national championship hopefuls to playing in Texas bowl

2011 Red Sox maybe?
quote:
The Red Sox became the first team in the history of Major League Baseball to have a nine-game lead in September and fail to make the playoffs that season, thanks to their 7-20 record in the final month of the regular season. In the days following this historic collapse, the front office and manager Terry Francona decided to part ways, and not exercise either of the additional year options on Francona's contract.
After the regular season ended, General Manager Theo Epstein entered talks with the Chicago Cubs to interview for the National League club's vacant General Manager position. The Cubs offered Epstein the position of President of Baseball Operations, and he accepted. After five months of negotiations, the Red Sox and Cubs agreed to the compensation the Red Sox would receive for Epstein. The Cubs acquired minor-league first baseman Jair Bogaerts (twin brother of Xander Bogaerts) from the Red Sox, and the Red Sox received pitchers Chris Carpenter and Aaron Kurcz.
Soon after the season ended, stories broke in the local media about several of Boston's starting pitchers, including Jon Lester, Josh Beckett, and John Lackey, had been playing video games, eating fried chicken, and drinking beer in the clubhouse and dugout during games when they were not pitching. Jon Lester was the first to speak publicly about the allegations, and admitted to eating and drinking in the clubhouse during games, though infrequently, but denied that these actions ever took place in the dugout

I don’t think being 11 games above .500 with 35/82 games qualifies as one of the most noteworthy implosions in sports history. Percentage wise, the pels being 23-12 is approximately equivalent to an nfl team starting 5-2. 5-2 teams miss the playoffs a lot of the time (see 2022 jets, 2021 saints off the top of my head).
We were a top tier nba team but we weren’t on pace for some historic achievement like the teams you listed. Although, I might argue that a new Orleans basketball team winning 50 games is a historic achievement.
