[edit] The Missed Shot
In the final seconds of regulation of Game 7 of the Finals, L.A. Laker Frank Selvy missed an easy 10-footer that could've won the game, instead the game went into overtime in which the Celtics won the game and the series. For the Lakers, it would start the pattern of not winning the big games in the NBA Finals, something that would last until 1972 when the Lakers finally won their first NBA Championship as the L.A. Lakers.
