    I'd say Boykins, he has more of an ability to carry his team. Plus he seems more persisent, one of the better little big men, who won't take no for an answer, nor a challenge. Plus he's just really cool in my opinion, against so many odds.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Lostmyluggage:</div><div class="quote_post">I think they would kick some ass if they both were on the same team in a men's six foot and under summer league. Shave an inch off of AI and you have an unstopable team. No one can mess with the Pearl Boykins.</div>

    iverson is listed at 6 feet, but i think in an interview, he said he was actually closer to 5-11. i'd throw in TJ Ford on that team too. maybe you can complete it with damon staudamire. just a thought... that would probably be the craziest under 6-feet team you could have.

    As good as Boykins is and his so many "cluth preformences" you guys keep claiming he has. Ill take the prime Muggys, for now. Another great year from Boykins Ill considering chaning my answer. You guys keep claiming Boykins is so clutch, but my definition of cluth always comes from playoff game winners, steals, defensive stops. Reggie Miller, Michael Jordan, Robert Horry, John Stockton. These guys should have the clutch tag with them, no disrespect to Boykins, but he hasnt had these games in the playoffs. I really hope he comes out and proves me horribly wrong, consdering he doesnt play the Timberwolves in the first round.

    So KG isn't clutch?

    Very unfair to limit it to Playoff performances. Boykins has never had the chance to play on a playoff squad - but you can bet your life his fourth quarter play was a big reason why the Warriors went close last season, and you can bet your life his clutch play will be a big factor if the Nuggets make it, which they look like doing.

    Everyone brings Garnett into an arguement when I point something out. I hate to admit but Garnett hasnt been clutch until the last years playoffs, and more so this season. Years before no, because you cant take a shot at the end of the game if you are tripled teamed. Things are changing tho.

    It is unfair to limit him to playoff performences... but you also cant assume he would be clutch in the playoffs. Ill give him the edge he brings the same game to the playoffs. Its not a knock on him, its just a matter of waiting a couple months till it happens.
