<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (CelticBalla32 @ May 16 2006, 10:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>But the thing is, Rudy never really did step up late in games when he needed to.And Karl Malone was not a choker, the only problem was Michael Jordan.How about Carmelo Anthony come playoff time? He's great in the regular season and hits a lot of game-winners, but all 3 years he has been in the league/playoffs he has crumbled in the post season.</div>He wasn't the goto guy in clutch situations, it was Rashad Anderson. :happy0144: Anyways, definantely Chris Webber. Right when he called the timout with no timeouts left in college, it was obvious he was a choker.
Peja Stojakovic definitely on the top of the list. Karl Malone, Kevin Garnett, Chris Webber, Van Horn Tony Parker and Steve Nash are others. All great players but seem to fail you at the end.
I love my team the wizards but we are chokers Greatly showed near the end of the season when caron was out and the series with the cavs.

He always plays good, yes back in the day with the kings he messed up a few times but hey he has also done some great things as well. How bout 2004 playoffs Kings v.s. Wolves, kings done 8 with 40 seconds left to go, everyone in arco is already leaving, Peja hits a three pointer, kings get the ball again, Peja hits the layup, Peja another three ball *swish*. Also this year against the hornets his 3 ball won the game for them. Not to mention many other times. And also Steve Nash? How the f*ck can you say that after he knocked down a shot against the clips to win the game for the suns? Kevin Garnett.... hmmm i dont know about him either, but i haven't watched him play too much.
Why I picked Steve Nash is what he did in game 4 against the Lakers. Also he was never clutch in Dallas. Peja's disappearing act when Webber came back from injury was not being clutch. It was always Bibby that was the clutch player and Peja not being a factor in the 4th quarter.
And who could forget that memorable airball from Peja when he was wide-open in either Game 6 or 7 against the Lakers that pretty much killed the Kings... the year that Horry hit that three to change the series.

This year alone he choked and cost the Sixers atleast 12-15 games.</div>Are you out of your mind? Webber did not cost even close to 12-15 games dude that is completely ridiculous.Who would you rather have at PF? Tell me. What cost the 76ers was Iverson shooting 25+ times a game..Sure Webber has historically been a choker but he cannot cost even 5 games..maybe 1 or 2.I think Nash has become a choker..
Shawn Marion should be #1. This guy is always garbage during the playoffs. How about Carmelo as well. He totally sucked in these playoffs and he has never been good before.

I'm not complaining about his overall play, but come crunch time the dude is horrible. Iverson shooting 25+ times did not cost the Sixers... I'm tired of the Iverson bashing, it is completely ridiculous. Yes, at times it is warranted, but he was not the problem with the Sixers. Most of their problems stem from Webber, but I'm not talking about that.Webber is a HORRIBLE clutch player. Please, please, please give me evidence to support the contrary. Anybody who watches the Sixers could tell you he easily cost them 12-15 games this year with his play and decision-making down the stretch.
Yeah i remember that air-ball too. But hey i mean he did just come back from a back injury. And didn't play for about a month or so.
Chris Webber and Peja...not that the NBA didn't ever help their choking...especially in 2002...But as a Laker fan, I'll take it!

Who was it that took them to the fianls in 2001??? Eric Snow??? No it was Allen iverson, and he did it practically by himself. Allen Iverson has always been a leader of the Sixers. Allen Iverson is know where near a choker. Hes definetly hit more game winners that Cwebb has. Take this from someone that actually follows the Sixers. Chris Webber is a choker. He is also one of the biggest chokers in the league.
watching this game. i'm going with steve nash. he's had so many turnovers late. not hit a three since game one. what's wrong w/ him. mr. mvp.

With the Suns he's going to be more exposed because he has the ball more (thus more mistakes).
Peja should be one everyone's list. I remember him airballing that shot in the corner of game 7 with a few seconds left
