Kareem is probably #1. I cant really think of any other bigmen who would sho GW's. Dirk, TD, KG could mabee go on the list. But that seems to be about it.Can anyone think of any others?
Dirks not clutch. Pretty obvious why. 2006 NBA Finals.Larry Bird definately. Willis Reed was pretty clutch. Bill Laimbeer as well.
Sunny, you dont remember the game winner against the Spurs in GAME 7?!?! How is he not clutch? Also, of course I'll use the 82games.com's Clutch Stat. Dirk is 7-19 in the last few years. Number 10 on the list. More than Duncan, KG, etc. Dirk also isnt one of those last second clutch players. He's a clutch player when his team needs him the most. His 4th quarter play is just plain excellent.
The Sivers' Bobby Jones of the 80's is considered a big man right? He's hugely clutch but defensively not offensively. He was the guy that could shut down the best clutch offensive players in crunch time.

I have a hard time calling Larry Bird a 'big man'. Sure he was bigger than your average SF but thats where he played a majority of the time. I consider SF's to be wings.

KG doesn't like the ball in clutch situations, he rather sit back and let other people do the work.
Jim McIlviene? Anyone remember this guy cruthiest big guy aroud! Oh hang on this is cluthest...opps my bad.
Lmao @ how Bill Russell has yet to be mentioned. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Russell is the NBA's greatest winner of all time. He won 11 NBA championships in the 13 years that he played in the NBA, and is credited having raised defensive play in the NBA to a new level.[1]Russell was first and foremost known as one of the most clutch players in the NBA. He played in 11 deciding games (10x a deciding Game 7, once a deciding Game 5), and ended with a flawless 11-0 record. In these eleven games, he averaged 18 points and 29.45 rebounds.[5]</div>Wiki..If thats not clutch then I don't know what is.
