NBA: Rank all 16 NBA championship playoff runs this century

And the 2013 Spurs had the biggest choke job of all time.

Lakers losing to the biggest underdog in NBA Finals history 4-1 in 2004 is the biggest choke job,,,as bad as Tyson losing to Douglas,,

I'd pick the '04 Pistons first reason being I think they could match up pretty well with any team, including the 01 Lakers where I think Prince would prove to be similarly effective against Bryant on d as he was in '04, where he made him look pedestrian. Then I'd go with '14 Spurs, then 01 Lakers. I might put '14 Spurs ahead of '04 Pistons tho

2004 Pistons had a really tough time scoring against any team that wasn't composed of matadors on that end. Fortunately, the Lakers couldn't guard the simpleton plays the Pistons ran, and guys like Hamilton were able to get screen shots, Malone's pathetic backups couldn't guard Rasheed, and Chauncey schooled the geriatric Payton. The Nets damn near beat Detroit in the ECSF though, and the Pacers were certainly compe ive against them too. The Lakers simply ran into a bad matchup

Nope... Spurs gave back one... they were selling your and miraculously you found a way to lose it.

The '14 Spurs were a fluke team that couldn't defend their le. Imagine that team trying to guard Shaq and a prime Kobe. Wake up, got.

Ok buddy

You had the parade mapped out before the '04 Finals even started,,heart ripped out,,,series over,,,,Spurs exacted revenge,,,Lakers traded Shaq and folded like a cheap lawn chair,,,,

The 2003/04 Lakers were pummeled throughout the series, so that was the more agonizing choke job.

But the bigger choke job? The one which required only two free throws to seal the series and the championship

[Leetonidas]

Meh. That game was down to the wire and the spurs hit tough shots in the final minute just to be ahead at all. Its not like they had a 20 pt lead going into the 4th and they shat the bed and lost it.

2004 Lakers,,,easily. They want to down play it but I wont let 'em,,,,they were the biggest NBA Finals favorite going into the series ever,,,biggest choke job

Those poor 04 Lakers. They just never got "a fair shake" according to Phil. He was crying the entire series.
