If you're a gamer of a certain age (OK, fine, we're talking about me), you'll recall playing NBA Jam and losing to the computer because Ron Harper hit an underhanded three-quarters shot to win by one. You'd smack the joystick at the arcade and scream unprintable things at the machine.
That's how I imagine this NBA 2K user must have felt. Someone with the Twitter handle @LVD___ posted a clip of playing as the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 7 of the Finals against the Utah Jazz. Joel Embiid hits a dunk with 2.5 seconds left to give the Sixers the lead.
Then? Virtual Jordan Clarkson does this:
That's break-your-TV-screen level heartbreak. Ugh. Sorry.
