    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>What, did you expect Webber to make that 3 pointer. It's very hard to make a shot with 2.9 seconds left in the game. There was little to nothing he could do.</div>If Derek Fisher can make an amazingly difficult turn-around jumpshot against the San Antonio Spurs in 2004 with .04 seconds left, then Chris Webber can obviously make something happen with 2.9 seconds left. It's all about decision-making under pressure situations.

He is not a 3 point shooter that was a horrible attempt.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>If I am going for three I would say Robert Horry. He is quite good from that range. Other considerations would be like Billups, Carmelo, Wade, plus other players.</div>You take Wade and Carmelo from three point land? Wow neither of them can hit that 3. Not the smartest post.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Derek Fisher is pretty clutch too, Steve Kerr to name* a couple more.</div>Fisher is considered clutch because of ONE lucky shot. Fisher is not that clutch.

    Right now i believe the best clutch players in the NBA are Kobe Bryant,Carmelo Anthony,Mike Bibby and Ben Gordon also Robert Horry.All time-Reggie Miller,Michael Jordan and Larry Bird.But Reggies the greatest clutch player of all time.

    Robert Horry is not my guy. You guys have to realize that hes shooting wide open jumpers at end of games because of the fear of Shaq/Duncan scoring easily or Manu/Kobe creating a good looking shot.The 3 guys that I want to take the shot at the end of a game are Carmleo/Kobe/Wade.

    i hate kobe but i'll take him. he started to take them early in his career and now he's making em so i'd go with him. my second guy would have to be sam i am. this dude is money. he killed the knicks at the garden earlier with some clutch treys. ben gordon as well. another knick killer down the stretch. he hits big shots.

You got pressure, and much more pressure when it's wide open.

    Overall: MJ is my overall pick for the clutch shot. He has done it over and over again, and not just for regular season games, but he did it in the playoffs and finals, when it counted. Do you remember this shot?[​IMG]This was his last shot to end his career (well as a Bull). This was one clutch shot (he kinda might have pushed off of Russel though, in my opinion).I just had to throw this picture in too:[​IMG]This was when Scottie had to carry MJ off the court during the finals (I think, somebody correct me if I am wrong). How many points did he have that game? He lead his team to victory with food poisoning. Just thought I would throw that in there. :dunno: On my team: On my team, the Cavaliers, I would go with LeBron ofcourse. Well I would go with the older LeBron, the one that would drive to the hoop and make a layup and get the foul. The newer LeBron seems scared/nervous about taking the last shot and he has been looking to pass it off if he thinks about it to much, almost like he is confused about what to do (that is just in my opinion). I hope he changes and can start taking the shot with more confidence and start hitting them more (in his career he shoots a 30% when it is crunch time). I feel more safe with him taking the shot than with some one else on the team right now (Marshall hit one three way back to send the game into overtime with the Magic, but he doesn't hit enough of the threes he takes to make me feel safe with the ball in his hands. Murray hit that three sure, but everyone hits a game winner every once in awhile, I don't know if he could do that on a regular basis yet).In the league today: I would have to take Kobe. Even though I wouldn't want him on my team, he is one of the best clutch shooters in the league. He has more confidence taking that shot than anyone else in the league in my opinion, and because he is so confident, it goes in most of the time. That is why he is such a good scorer, because of his confidence to hit the shot. As much as I hate that confidence of his, it is what has made him the "81 point" player of today. Other players in the leauge have just as good shot as him, but no one has the confidence to make the shot like he does right now in the league.
