[Chosen01]

1. Kobe
2. Dirk
3. Lebron
4. Melo
5. Ray Allen
6. Pierce
7. Wade
8. Gay
9. Evans
10. Crawford

LOL at wade being number 7, and putting Ray over Wade, nice one

the real list is

Kobe
Melo
Wade
Dirk
Lebron
Pierce
.. rest

[berserker]

1) Kobe - pains me to say it
2) Melo - absolutely clutch
3) Wade
4) Pierce
5) Dirk
6) Lebron
7) Billups
8) Joe Johnson
9) Durant
10) Nash


Now that's a much better list IMO.

[berserker]

Although I think Durant is moving up that list quickly....

[Hemingway]

Pierce and Billups need to be way up there, yet they are left off the OP's list.

[DanDanE420]

If clutch equals last shot, then Wade moves down some and guys like Pierce and Melo rank very highly.

if clutch equals overall play during crunch time, as it should, then Wade and Ginobili rank near the top along with Kobe and Nash.

[PippenAintEasy]

No love for Ben Gordon?

[amb1ent]

How is Chauncey Billups not on this list? Mr. Big Shot himself..

Maybe they've seen him choke in all those conference finals.

at least he's been to that many conference finals...and has two rings

wedding band dont count

[canefandynasty]

Playoffs

Wade
Kobe
Duncan

[Rainman66]

Turkoglu and Roger Mason deserve to be in this discussion...

[druggas]

Very funny post!

Seriously, Fisher has hit huge shots in his career. Ask the Magic and Spurs.

[Tee212]

yup yup no fish pls...he cant create for himself in crunch time and YES to mr. big shot billups!

[andrewww]

top 4 imo..

obviously kobe.. but also melo, pierce (as much as it pains me to say it), and billups.

[Duffman100]

bargani is clutch in the 4th, he just never gets any looks

it's funny, people laugh at this, but Bargs is ridiculously clutch.

He can be having the worst game ever...but he'll manage 5 boards, 2 blocks, and 10 points in the final 5 minutes of the game.

I'm not saying he's top 10, but he's a completely different player in clutch time.

[Dresta]

Ginobili, even if he is injured all the time.

[joyner82]

Well if you're going by the last week I think Durant is easily #1 lol

3 with 5 seconds left vs NYK to send game into OT
3 to cut the lead to 3 in OT with 2 minutes left
Game winning jumper in OT vs NYK
2 clutch free throws to ice game in OT vs NYK


Scored his teams final 10 points in the final 2 minutes on 7/7 shooting(FG/FT) in a 2 point win @ Minnestoa

[Effigy]

1) Kobe - pains me to say it
2) Melo - absolutely clutch
3) Wade
4) Pierce
5) Dirk
6) Lebron
7) Billups
8) Joe Johnson
9) Durant
10) Nash


Now that's a much better list IMO.

That is a better list, though Brandon Roy needs to be on it. He is more clutch than Johnson. Maybe a little soon to put Durant on there.

[kasino]

Wade is number 2 and is clutch on both ends.
His winning sequences are crazy dramatic
