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?

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.
