    Definatly Dirk Nowitzki, he's such a beast late in games. He hit a game winner in the first round and did the same a couple times last year, what he does late in games in the playoffs is undervalued by the media.

    ^I'll be the 3rd guy to put Dirk on my list, and you didn't even consider him, lol.DirkTerryFinly(goddamn I hate exmavs...him and Nash)PierceAnd I'm sorry, Tracy is a great, great player...but it's hard to say he's underrated as a clutch player, when the guy has never gotten his team out of the first round, as that teams best player.

    When I clicked this I didnt think I'd see Pierce's name. Glad to see people think of him...

    I'd consider Gilbert Arenas one as well even though he missed those free throws late in game 6 against the Cavs that they went on and won.My list in no orderArenasDirk (like everyone else)TerryManu Ginobli- Might be a little bit of a reach, but he is clutchAndres Nocioni and Kirk Hinrich- I think they are really clutch, even though Gordon gets a lot of attention for his clutch play, Nocioni and Hinrich dont.Theres more, but those are the ones that i just thought of off the top of my head.

I was adding to the list. I agree with you man, Dirk is great in the clutch.

    Raja Bell is one that comes to mind. He has came through for every team he has played on. but his most valuble asset in crunch time is his D. I've seen about 15 games where he has made a key defensive stop to give his team either the win, or a chance to win.

    Bruce Bowen is underrated as a clutch player also. He has hit major 3 pointers at the end of games.
