Was Nick Anderson 4 missed FTs in the Finals one of the biggest Watershed moments in NBA History???

When I saw that, I was like "you people need to take free throw shooting more seriously"

That shyt was wild to me, you got a guy who is dominant all-NBA 1st team, top 3 MVP, beat in the playoffs, got to the finals in his first 4 seasons with the franchise and you're like "nah, I'm good". I get the issue about the luxury tax but you don't prioritize signing Penny, sign Shaq and figure the rest of it out later

Balking at paying at top 3-5 player doesn’t even seem logical

It took him YEARS to get over that

Before those missed free throws he was a monster

He was one of my favorite players back then

Seeing him develop the yips from the FT line after that was sad to see

Kenny said they felt like that had no shot until that choke happened. Game 1 gave them the confidence they needed. It was a wrap after that.kenny could just be exaggerating tho

Exactly and it ruined the Magic's confidence
