After Manu Ginobili's miss from the charity stripe to keep the San Antonio Spurs lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers at 92-90 with 9.1 seconds left, LeBron James got the rock in his hands and you can tell something crazy was going to happen. Maybe a pull-up three for the win? Maybe a coast-to-coast drive to the basket for the tie?

Well, what happened next was definitely crazy. But more like, crazy... unexpected as James knocked the ball off his leg and right into the hands of Tim Duncan, who passed it off to Ginobili and dribbled out the clock. Hey, it happens. Sometimes, you're the hero. Other times, you're the goat. This time, 'Bron 'Bron found himself in the latter category.
