We’re rolling into Day 2 of our Final Week of 2011 Face-off. Today we’re featuring the Biggest Choke Artist. There were plenty, but we’ve got two fierce competitors going head-to-head. Let’s roll….
In one corner, we have the beloved Lebron James. King James was epically bad in the 4th quarter of every single game in the 2011 NBA Finals. He had 18 total points in 6 fourth quarters vs. the Dallas Mavericks. He had decent statistical games, but his fourth quarter performances were extremely alarming. This, of course, was on a tee for media because of the way Lebron left Cleveland in pursuit of a title with his buddies Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. It’s safe to say, Lebron had to eat it hard from everyone for his failures in the NBA Finals.
Hit the jump to see who Lebron James is facing off against in the head-to-head for Biggest Choke Artist of the Year…
After leading the Tampa Bay Rays by nine games in the AL wild card race on September 3—when their odds of reaching the playoffs peaked at 99.6%—the Red Sox lost 18 of their final 24 games.[7] On the last day of the season, September 28, 2011, a Boston bottom of the 9th blown save loss against the Baltimore Orioles coupled with an extra inning come from behind Tampa Bay Rays victory made the Rays the American League Wild Card winners, eliminating Boston from playoff contention. 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
