Kobe takes this one, w/ no one else even close.Arenas, Wade, Horry, Nash & Billups get honorable mentions.

Gordon has hit big shots, but not as big as Billups has it in his career.</div>If we're comparing game to game, then yes Ben Gordon is more clutch then billups. Just because he hasnt hit a shot he will be remembered for in the playoffs doesn't change facts. By what your saying Derek Fisher is more clutch then Gordon also. But trust me, in the years to come you will see plenty of gordons clutchness in the finals.

The Bulls will surely make the Finals?As of right now, I'd have to put Billups ahead of Gordon as of who is more clutch. He's just hit bigger shots and has a ring and a Finals MVP to show for it. No disrespect to Gordon.

No disrespect to Gordon.</div>I see no reason why we wont make the finals eventually. Most of our core is under 25, we just nearly won 50 games, and we just beat the defending nba champs in a sweep.Again a ring doesn't make billups more clutch, fisher has 3 rings and a game-winner against sacramento which was just a big of shot as any billups has made. If you look at clutch numbers, Gordon is better then Billups.

Billups has done it consistently, which is why you can argue him.

Gordon hasnt had the oppurtunity to make it to the finals yet so you cant use that as a standard for who is clutcher.

But you also have to realize, Billups led his team to the Finals, with his clutch play playing a factor. I'm not trying to take anything away from Gordon though, he's a great 4th quarter player. But with 1 minute left, I'd feel more comfortable with Billups having the ball. You of course would feel more comfortable with Gordon, as you're a Bulls fan.

How does nobody mention Tim Duncan? He's the coolest customer in the league in important possessions.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I think you're getting a little senile old man.</div>I still got 30 years before I have to worry about that.
One guy I havent seen mentioned is Mehmet Okur. he bailed the Jazz asses out of trouble numerous times. plus he likes to hit big shots against the Spurs, but only at home.
Paul Pierce, no doubt. And I'm not trying to be a homer.Look at youtube, I'll post some video's later.
Gilbert Arenas has saved the Wizards so many times.. it's crazy. Overall, in his career, I think he has had like 9 or 10 game-winning/buzzer-beating shots. I think Tim Duncan is pretty damn clutch, too. In the sense of putting up great statlines and willing his team to win in pressured situations.

When Mehmet Okur is on, he's a pain in the ass for the opposing team.. even in that game when Gil had the gamewinner against Utah, we had no answer for Okur the entire game and I think he had something like 38 points. In the last possessions, the offense just was Gil scores, Okur scores, Gil scores, Okur scores.. back and forth.. until Gil finally ended it.
That game was awesome, would have been more awesome had the Jazz won. but you're right those two totally dominated the game.
You can't forget about Gilbert Arenas, he hit a ton of clutch shots this season, and a couple were buzzers beaters for the win. Gilbert Arenas was the most clutch this season.
