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?

Literally OP’s point lol. He was the point scorer but didn’t want to be the soft skills leader

That's just conjecture because none of us are in the locker room, and it's odd to bring up in a thread that's primarily focused Stewart's lack of production on the floor.

Which is fair - but my point was also that her teams that won have always been on the talent level (women’s version) of the KD/Steph warriors. This was the first time in her career she faced a team with more talent, and the first time she needed to step up in the leadership department..and just didn’t do it.

When I’d watch Taurasi play in her prime, as long as her team could compete - she was going to win. That’s what GOATs too. And imo, that was the difference with A’ja and Stewie last night.
