Has any NBA superstar ever had as bad of a finals performance to potentially cost their team a championship as Breanna Stewart did in the WNBA tonight? (alien.top)

Down 2-1 in a five game series vs. the Aces, the Liberty had a huge chance to win a ring after a series of Aces injuries. In a one point loss, Stewart made just 3 of 17 shots from the field. Are there any comparable examples from history?

I know it’s not the finals but it’s still funny that Harden shot 2-13 from 3 in a game 7 where the team missed 27 consecutive 3s

Hell, here are Harden's stats in the final two games of each of his last two playoff series:

  • Harden Game 5, second round against Miami: 5-for-13, 14 points, -29
  • Harden Game 6, second round against Miami: 4-for-9, 11 points, -16
  • Harden Game 6, second round against Boston: 4-for-16, 13 points, -10
  • Harden Game 6, second round against Boston: 3-for-11, 9 points, -30

Not really that funny when you’re getting fouled but okay

He had been really abusing the jumping into the defender 3pt shot that series (and whole year, think he had more 3pt FTs than any other team in the league had that year) and calling those was clearly a point of emphasis for the refs that game.

He was still getting fouled?

I honestly think the concussion game against the spurs was far worse.

I was gonna say Harden, but then I remembered that it was never in the finals
