Whenever you tune into an NBA Playoff game, you can expect to see some truly amazing moments. A guy hits a clutch three to tie or win the game, or an incredible scoring output in one quarter to lead his team back from the impossible. And, at the same time, you can also see some of the biggest choke performances ever.

Whether it's a star player that just loses his shine or an entire team just unraveling before your very eyes, there needs to be that player(s) that struggle when the lights are the brightest to balance everything out in professional sports. In honor of those goats who would prefer to remain nameless, we highlight them in the 30 Biggest Fails in NBA Playoff History.
