What a bunch of chokes those Magic are - from a man named Courtney to that Shaq imposter. Hedo should leave. MVP Awards to Courtney, Van Gundy, and Howard. Too bad Gasol isn't 20 years younger, or Orlando could have been called the Pow Pau's. Naming the team after a Laker great is still the dumbest thing is sports, and this beat-down was justice.

Maybe a handout on how to perform the Heimlich Maneuver.

Will they inappropriately wheel out that singer again?

Bill Buckner lived in exile for over a decade, Nick Anderson is still haunted by nightmares, and Donnie Moore offed himself after similar choke jobs. Let's pray that the Orlando team and family keep a close eye on this kid. While he may never recover as a player, let's hope it doesn't harm the rest of his life.

Courtney not only blew a shot... he chocked away an NBA Finals series. This was not your average wild pitch... it was a once in a lifetime opportunity on one of the biggest stages in all the world, and the kid missed a point-blank layup. He couldn't handle the stage, and folded like origami. It will be the defining moment of this series and Courtney will now be the poster boy for chokers. It will define his career and may set the Orlando franchise back years. And it is no coincidence that it happened on the 14th anniversary of the Nick Anderson free throws.

The 2009 NBA Finals starring Kobe Bryant and The Closer and the emasculated Courtney Lee as The Choker.

Commented Jun 9, 2009 on Repeat after me, Courtney Lee did NOT choke at Open Mike

A man named Courtney will now become the definition of a choke artist. Everything about the play was perfect, except the guard choked on his once-in-a lifetime moment. The kid, overwhelmed by the enormity, missed a contested two-foot layup. CHOKE. A LAY UP!!!! His moment in time, missed. Not only was it a choke, it will go down in infamy as one of the great chokes of all time. The kid, and possibly the franchise will never be the same. The rookie choked away a game and a series. Life will never be the same for a man named Courtney.

As long as a man named Courtney plays the Lakers should be in good shape.

Commented Jun 9, 2009 on Van Gundy says Jameer Nelson will not start during NBA Finals at Orlando Magic BasketBlog

Choke? Oh, YES she did. A man named Courtney had a contested layup from two feet and missed. His moment in time, missed. Not only was it a chock, it will go down in infamy as one of the great chokes of all time - Bucker, Norwood, Romo, Donnie Moore, Nick Anderson. Except, Cindy had a lay up. a LAY UP! It was Sally's once-in a lifetime opportunity... cough. The kid, and possibly the franchise will never be the same. He choked away a game and a series. Everything about the play was perfect, except the guard choked on his moment. Life will never be the same for a man named Courtney.

And the MVP award goes to... a man named Courtney!!!

Commented Jun 8, 2009 on Good no-call by officials: Gasol should not have been whistled for goal-tending at Open Mike

Let's not blame the rest... let's celebrate a man named Courtney. Cindy blew a layup. His muffed his once in a lifetime moment. Shirley now goes down with Bill Buckner, Nick Anderson, Jean van de Velde and Scott Norwood; except Leslie had the easiest play of them all... a contested one-foot layup! Here's to a man named Courtney!

Somewhere Nick Anderson is celebrating... a man named Courtney just pulled one of the all-time great CHOKES in NBA history. Here's to Norwood! Actually, Norwood had a 49-yard field goal to make... shelly, I mean Courtney blew a layup. Wow, the franchise will never be the same.

Commented Jun 8, 2009 on Does the curse of Nick Anderson exist? Stuart Scott seems to think so at Orlando Magic BasketBlog

Any word on whether Cindy, I mean a man named Courtney is staying with the Lakers. Bill Buckner has to be the MVP of this series. Nice CHOKE Norwood. Hopefully Magic staff and personnel are on health watch, see Donnie Moore. Here's to a man named Courtney!
