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?

Kobe's first half in game 7 of the 2010 finals was the worst basketball I've ever seen him play. I think there were two plays where he just dribbled the ball off his leg out of bounds or to the back court completely unforced.

Kobe has had some bad performances in the playoffs and finals here and there, but this isn't really one of them if you take into account the broader context of the game. Pretty much everyone shot like shit this game, it was a real grind offensively for both teams. Kobe found other ways to contribute in this game.

And made two clutch FTs with 25 seconds left to give the Lakers some much-needed cushion in their lead.

Big surprise putting Kobe on the line.
