    I thought that do, I'm not sure if he means all around "clutch performer" that can get it going, but athe definition that usually comes to mind, wouldn't bring duncan to the top ofthe list. I guess it was last years playoffs "fall away-fall-on-your-ass" shot that duncan made.

    Duncan is VERY clutch. Check out his postseason performances over his career. He plays big in the biggest games. Being clutch doesn't just mean hitting lots of game winning shots.

    For clutch Cassell has to be in there, he saved the Wolves many times this season, and decided the Sacramento series. Iverson could probably go under explosiveness. Kidd isn't all that fast now that he is aging, I would put Speedy Claxton in there, ironic his name is Speedy. Hassell could be on one-on-one defense, although I really like your list.

    Other than those good list.

    Interesting thread iversonfan. I like most of your selections.

    But maybe this should go in OutofBounds.

    One more thing I thought of, there is no dunking category? And for energy, Mark "Mad Dog" Madsen should be in there.

    few interseting choices there IF3, as for the mid-range jump shot where is Ray Allen? he should be top 3 at the least and i really won't put KG in there.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Driving
    1. Iverson
    2. Kobe
    3. TMac
    4. Wade
    5. Francis
    </div>

    I really would put Kobe ahead of Iverson in this category too, kobe's argueably the best penetrator in the game. Lebron should also be in there at # 4 or so considering a high percentage of his shots are within 5 feet.

    -where is Rafer Alston on that list?

    -overall good list but you should add Lebron in that explosiveness list probably at #1 and kobe in that 1-on-1 list.

    Noway is Rip's mid-jumper better than Dirk's. Glenn Robinson??? You can also add Finley before him and Kobe.

    r u kidding me, robinson has one of the best if not best mid rip shooting in the game, finley mite have a good mid range shooting but hes def not better than robinson. finley's a better PLAYER than robinson because he's a better diver and defender, but robinson's got a better mid range shot

    And when is "recently". If Vince Carter didn't "recently" dunk over a perrenial shot blocker in Samuel Dalembert in one of this year's pre-season game last week; didn't do a reverse alleyoop dunk versus the Bulls in one of this year's pre-season game; didn't do other emphatic dunks in many of this year's pre-season games, then when is it? You're funny.

    Just by doing those RECENT dunks, he has shown that he is still the best current dunker. Although Richardson's leaping ability is right there with Carter's,Carter is simply the better dunker.
