choke

start to fail, miss shots, opportunity usually under pressure or in clutch situations. It's pretty much like suffocation in context to when someone slowly starts losing breath, instead they start losing skill sets which make them whom they are (usually a superstar, an MVP, or VIP) to which they had or which gave them the lead or put then in the position to take the lead make way for a game winning situation and game win
