Northern Iowa went from dramatic upset to one of the strangest trivia answers of all time in a matter of 40 seconds last Sunday. Losing a 12-point lead with 44 seconds to go in a matchup with Texas A&M will make you a bad part of history.
Just how bad? Bad enough to make LeBron James stop playing basketball apparently:
LeBron on the A&M comeback over UNI: "I would quit basketball. If I was on Northern Iowa, I would quit."

While the Panthers blew that 12-point lead, it did take them another two overtime periods to finally bow down to the third-seeded Aggies.
However, if Bron-Bron says you should stop playing basketball, perhaps you should listen. After all, he’s already got a son working hard on his game and ready to take over the NBA sooner than later.
