    You repeat youself. I am sure halfr the Knick fans on this board would agree Jordan is more clutch.Reggie would NOT win 3-5 championships with the Bulls supporting cast. Jordan is one of the best all around players in league history when Reggie is one dimensional. Jordan is one of the best defenders Reggie is not even close.The Bulls supporting cast was not as good as people think Jordan made his teamates look alot better than what they were.Greatest supporting cast ever? I think the Celtics and Lakers dynasty teams had a much better cast. Also Jordan only had Rodman for 3 of his championships.The Celtics dynastys had Cousy,Dave Cowens,John Havlicek,Tom Heinsohn,K. C. Jones,Sam Jones,Kevin McHale,Robert Parish,Frank Ramsey,Danny Ainge,Dennis Johnson,They were all supporting casts of either Russell or Bird. I would name the Lakers cast to Magic and Kareem but I am too lazy :)Jordan's cast is laughable compared to these guys.

    You have nice points and made the better arguement and won the debate but im still gonna say Reggies the better clutch player.He has hit countless of clucth shots through his whole entire career and has touched millions of Pacer fans hearts.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BALLAHOLLIC @ Feb 25 2006, 02:23 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Reggie Miller the greatest clutch player in NBA history?Thats a joke.</div>The bigger joke is that he's supposedly someone we "can't remember." The guy just retired last year for pete's sake. If anyone's forgetten him already, I think it must be due to some kind of neurological disorer.Great forgotten players? Lets see... Dave Cowens. Had the bad luck of being between the Russell and Bird eras, but he was one of the greats. Was MVP one year and led the Celtics to two titles.Elvin Hayes, Paul Silas, Bob McAdoo, Wes Unseld, Nate Thurmond, Bob Lanier, Roy Tarpley, Reggie Lewis, Rik Smits, Detlef Schrempf, Chris Mullin... There's a whole lot of them.

    Adrien Dantley-HE was the scoring champion like three times but noone appriciates him, he wasn't even voted to be in TnT's next 10 [he finished 61's, the 11th vote four votes behind Gary Payton]

    ^Good call. He has one of the highest career field goal percantages for non centers. Its 53 or 54 percent.I read that a few months ago. 54 percent as a guard is amazing.

    Tiny archibald, 6-1, 160 lbs., led NBA in scoring (34.0 ppg.) and assists (11.4) in 1972-3 season. Only player ever to do so.I'm not sure how forgotten he is (I mean, obviously, I remember him and he was inducted into the HOF in 1991), but I don't hear a lot of people talk about him anymore.

    connie hawkins. i heard he was sick until he got a career ending injury. he would've been one of top players to ever play. at least that's what i've heard.

    How about Penny Hardaway.He was a great player back in the day.He had his own toy and everything.He was a wounderful passer.He was also on the same team as Shaq they had a great duo.Penny+Shaq=Finals i believe.
