    Late in the game to break a tied score and win the game, by position, who would you want to take that shot for your franchise? You can go with the one you'd like most to, and the second (if your number one has fouled out or was sick....or whatever)

    I went with:

    Point Guard
    #1 Sam Cassell
    #2 Mike Bibby

    Shooting Guard
    #1 Kobe Bryant
    #2 Ray Allen

    Small Forward
    #1 LeBron James (He's been lighting up the net when healthy)
    #2 (Right Now) Wally Sczcerbiak (Because I'm drawing a blank and Wally's been shooting lights out lately, I know there's someone out else I can't think of right now)

    Power Forward
    #1 Tim Duncan
    #2 Kevin Garnett

    Center
    #1 Amare Stoudmire
    #2 Shaquille O'Neal

    I like Vince Carter and 'Melo, but, I think I thought of someone better that no one mentioned. Lebron James, he does play SF a lot, so, he would be my second pick to take the final shot.

    I also forgot about Korver, he is pretty good in clutch situations and great at three's. He would probably be my third pick.

    Also, if you consider Paul Pierce a SF, he would also be good to take the final shot.

    old thread, but I just found it

    Point Guard
    1. Mike Bibby
    2. Chauncey Billups/Allen Iverson

    Shooting Guard
    1. Kobe Bryant
    2. Ray Allen

    Small Forward
    1. Vince Carter
    2. Paul Pierce

    Power Forward
    1. Kevin Garnett
    2. Dirk Nowitzki

    Center
    1. Tim Duncan
    2. No other center is worthy of this spot. Brad Miller is the closest to #2...I don't trust him at #2 because look what happened vs. the Suns. Plus, no center should get the last shot asides from TD.

    Out of all the players in NBA History, who I would pick? <font color="Purple">Milt Palacio</font> of course

    Thats a bit of stretch calling Dirk a C. Then again finding a clutch shooting center is rather hard....
